That’s actually why I hate AG testing. Cus it ends up being “don’t worry” you won’t get tested anyways so the rules really don’t matter unless your fast.

I’ve always wished they simply had a testing group. So the 58 year old using the “wrong” cold medicine should need zero worries just to do a fing triathlon.

But you want to race for podium etc you follow the doping rules.

So the new AG doping "safe sport" allows sports to pump their chest that everyone is racing under clean sport but you slow people don’t *really* have to follow the rules......but you actually do and damn your fucked if you actually did get tested.


I just think it's a bit stupid that newbies coming into the sport have to know all this stuff, but because they probaly suck and wont get tested, that's the *out*. So it's not that we think they shouldn't have to worry, it's because we know they likely wont get tested that let's us kinda say "dont worry"...but then if you did get tested, you'd be f'd and all for what? To finish a local triathlon?

Vine and Keat got two years, Neben 6 months. But that's not because Neben proved anything. In her CAS decision they tested all 14 supplements she was taking (!) and found nothing. The reduced suspension seems more to do with CAS buying her defense that she was a "victim" of USA Cycling who had provided the Hammer products to her through a sponsorship deal, but didn't provide her any education.

Keat tried to "prove" that the supplement was trained, but it was a laughable chain of custody - bottle to be tested came from her sister.

Yes that’s one of things I’ve found from usada. Essentially use best judgement with everything you put in your body but if you wanted to ever have an proper supplement check, it would have to come from an same batch + sealed bottle. Just saving 1 scope at the bottom of your bottle isn’t good enough to prove it. Exact Batch # and sealed products would help you in those instances.

Though it likely isn’t good enough defense cus I think it goes back to “knowing everything you put into your body”. That’s why I struggle with scenarios where you check the bottle and do the right then only to then have it contaminated or other stuff not listed.

Yes it does. It's literally the definition. A bad event caused by random chance. Out of your hands.

“You are experiencing the criminal coverup of a foreign backed fascist hostile takeover of a mafia shakedown of an authoritarian religious slow motion coup. Persuade people to vote for Democracy.”

No an accident is something that is unplanned or unintentional.

Something that is uncontrollable could be something you are completely aware of or intend to do, but still incapable of being controlled/managed.

Anyways, moving on...

I did a quick google search and found that a few professional women who've been popped with a positive but were able to prove "contaminated" substances and were then given very light sentences (6 months).

I am a part of a big organization. I asked for testing at a big national championship. It won't happen. Why? It's f---ing expensive. So for an AG'er to be caught, likely a 'rat' fronted the money or there were multiple complaints about her - and - this maybe the only product in her system found during testing.. so she maybe more than guilty

Was she the only one to get tested or where all the age group winners tested? If only her then someone rated her out.

Yes self promotion is "strong with this one"

maybe. And from this point going forward I am inclined to your thinking. But I want to point out: an ostarine tainted salt tab was sold at a slowtwitch road show by a highly respected tri shop owner who is friends with Dan Empfield (I think they are friends, at least.).
