These two stood out as dopers taking the line in Kona. Is there anyone else?

With Ironman able to make up their own rule as a private organization I'd love to see them do lifetime bans!

What Sport issues a lifetime ban for PEDs? Oh yeah none.

Considering that WTC is a signatory to the WADA code and plays in the sandboxes of national federations...no, no they can't. Not unless they also are planning on self-insuring and creating their own rulebook - which in the end is destructive to the rest of the sport.

Good try, though.

A large percentage of age groupers.

Were you serious? Lots of sports ban athletes for life for "infractions" of the rules of their sports including PEDs.

I don't know any back-stories here. Have these guys tested positive, or are you saying that they appear to be dopers?

A large percentage of age groupers.

Define "a large percentage"... I am curious, I think its actually a small percentage of people that actually suck enough to cheat.

Depends on your definition of 'doping' & 'cheating'

I suspect a very large %age would fail a full test, most without even realizing...just take a look at the banned list..I know I certainly would.

How many people from Spain, Portugal, Mexico, China, etc can be 100% sure that none of the meat they have eaten recently hasn't contained clenbuterol for example... let alone what might be in the USA's genetically modified bleached zombie chickens..!! Or what about the guy who gets a cold a week before and grabs something from the pharmacy that contains something they've never heard of..?

It's easy to label drug fails as 'cheaters', but often it is not that simple.

She received a two year suspension for something apparently deemed unintentional.

So what do you take that is on the banned list

Sounds like you are making excuses for your self

Interesting, seeing a bunch of the four year penalties of late I was under an impression that it may be 4 years intentional and 2 years unintentional.
