NFT: US running champ falls drug test, blames burrito

Bricktop : 6/15/2021 10:08 am
Really interesting story here. I know nothing about the science of pork being a source of a steroid, but she's got precedent set by WADA on her side. And now they're ignoring their own study. Weird. Pretty interesting read here.

Was the final arbiter an international body?

Because either she is in the middle of an elaborate lie or there seems it be an attempt to make sure that she can't compete.
I hear a lot

Of excuses for why people test positive, since the wife follows lots of CrossFit and weightlifting athletes on Social.

Can't say I had burrito on the bingo card
Everyone knows burritos

Is part of the IAAF. But the article isn't clear regarding the AIUs relationship with WADA. Something isn't right here. How do they ignore their own scientific study?
WADA was founded by the International Olympic Committee

Its role is to do research, set standards and protocols.

The AIU, established by the IAAF (now World Athletics) implements the testing process.

The big picture here is that succeeding at the top level in track and field is impossible without PEDs. The current world records could not be approached without PEDs.

Many of the people who run the sport are former athletes whose success was only possible through the use of PEDs.

The PED-testing process is an exercise in hypocrisy and the selection of which athletes will be targeted and which will be protected.

The sport is also run by people from countries who resent Americans. Christian Coleman and Shelby Houlihan have been knocked out accordingly, while athletes from the countries that run the sport can dope away knowing they will get tipped off before they are subjected to random testing.

Enjoy the Olympics.
She blames a juiced-up burrito and that was unconvincing?

Maybe she should have thrown in UFOs and "el Nino." ;-)
These stories..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 6/16/2021 10:09 am : link
are amusing because the levels world class athletes have to surpass to fail tests, usually are a magnitude of at least 10x or more of a normal human. The NFL has certain thresholds 50x the normal person.

A burrito, a poppy bagel, inhaling a breath of marijuana won't tilt the scales here.

Just like Golden Tate claims, these are absurd denials.

And shyster is correct. Every world class track and field athlete is using some form of PED. Just like every cyclist does.

I think though (perhaps wrongly), that there might be a larger issue where the axe-wielder uses selective suspension as a way to influence/rig the outcome of certain competitions.

absolutely.

If the NFL really was interested in cracking down on PED use, the average lineman would be 250 pounds!

where'd she get that burrito from?

I wouldn't eat it from that place. She said it was offal.
