Another great doping excuse in this one. When testing 95th place at a TT you have to wonder how random the test was. My guess would have been someone tipped them off. I know we get tired of these but still good to know we are nabbing some.
How pathetic…

well, no excuse for the positive outcome, unless he was truly duped by the wife. what i find even more pathetic, though, is the expenditure of resources to test someone who finished 95th.

Sure enough, double letters

I guess you better start worrying a bit more about getting tested then.
BTW I got your private message suggesting a “truce” but I decline. I believe it is the responsibility of athletes to make all dopers as uncomfortable and unwelcome as possible in our community.
Have we ever figured out who this adablduya1 is in real life? Is it worth my effort to try?

hey man, whatever makes you feel relevant. i’m all for clean sports. expending ( what i would say are limited and/ or expensive) resources going after the BOPers is a misplaced priority, in my opinion. and at age 57, i’m hardly quaking over being tested.

The odd bit about doping controls is they only make the news when they’re working.

Very true.
Somebody give that man an in-wheel motor…

I sometimes spike my own early-evening smoothies, which my wife likes to refer to as “margaritas” for some reason.
Funny article though- I can’t imagine trying to pull that excuse with a straight face.

I find the double letters thing increasingly troubling, as my last name has double letters in it.
Does that mean I am doomed to repeat the fate of those with double letters and should give in to the inevitable and start getting on gear?
Or is it more “not all people with double letters are cheaters, but all cheaters have double letters”?
Sounds like RowToTri isn’t a big fan of what you’re doing and I don’t blame him, I’m 100% with him.
In other news, congrats on yard of the month in September 2014, looks pretty. I love what you’ve done with the place. I wouldn’t advise entering any more races doped up.
All the best!

The athlete’s version of the chicken or egg question…

You and your double lettered name should be.
At least they are getting good turn outs for their time trials.
Obviously at least 95 entrants.
How long have I been telling you guys if they actually tested all the 50+ AG athletes we would lose at least half the fields, and in just about every sport we follow. 1st place, 95th place, doesn’t matter, mostly the same motivations for cheating. It is the single biggest reason I don’t race much anymore, I had to live this dynamic for the past 20 years, watching myself age naturally while people I never heard of are winning and podium races. Took awhile, but I’m making my peace with it all.
But I do enjoy the occasional bust here and there, perhaps when I get to the 70+ they will have it figured out and I can race again…(-;
I need my wife to make me that kind of smoothie.
99% certain this was a tip-off.
Now if only tri would take doping as seriously as a tiny grassroots sport no one cares about…

Well, statistically speaking, it seems more likely to have been random given it was 95th place than had it been someone on the podium.
I am curious, if this is random, what is the application of probability like? Do all athletes have an equal chance of being tested, or is the randomness somehow stratified? So someone in the top 10 has a greater chance of being selected than someone in the top 20 who has a greater chance than someone in the top 30, etc. It could still be random but taking performance into account. The higher you place the more “lottery tickets” you get.
Whether he was selected with equally random probability, randomly stratified probability or just from a tip-off, I’m glad they caught the guy.
