I am shocked. Utterly shocked.
What does EPO do for sprinters?
HAAAH-HAAAH!

Interesting that it's supposedly for EPO! Time to call Hans Heid!
and the flood gates will open.
Wait a minute, it is only the A sample. Maybe someone will pull some strings as they did for Lagat and the B sample will somehow show up negative.
I hear the knell of her career.
Not a Chance!!

SHE IS TOAST!! NO LEWIS RULE FOR HER!!
What is the sport coming to? Who is clean is the big question? What are the true limits of human performance? Will we ever know for sure? This is a sad time for our sport, but at least we are starting to catch and name these cheaters.
I hope she gets the two year ban, at her age that will end her career. More crap on Nike's face as well, boo-hoo for them!
Who was the last 100m gold medalist to be clean on the men's side? women's side?
Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack me. The abyss is still a ways off. This is getting so effing ridiculous.
OK, this is just crazy. Let's see- say you were using steroids, but never got caught, but people accused you of using steroids and you denied it over and over on TV and in the press.
Would you continue to use? Don't you think you just might consider stopping and competing clean to avoid getting caught and having the world know you are a lier and cheater?
It just doesn't make sense. I'm not saying they're innocent, but Gatlin and Jones are nuts if they used. Isn't it at all possible that the testing is so flawed that innocents are being banned? I'm not being naive, I realize they are probably guilty. It just doesn't make sense.

I do not think she was ever clean at any point in her career, except maybe last year. She "believed" she had to use to be competitive. Without her juice she was average and that's the way she saw it.

"Nuts", now you're getting the picture!

You sir are a complete and total idiot. For goodness sake open your eyes and ears!
Does this mean I can get a refund on my ticket price for USATF nationals? Both sprint champions were drugged up. USATF owes me a refund!

Right. Well said, Mon!
After C.J. was busted, didn't he mention how he helped Jones inject subcutaneous EPO, among other drugs?
Or was that just a rumor?
Explain yourself. I'm an idiot because I wonder why a person who is constantly defending herself very publicly is actually stupid enough to use drugs?
She just set herself up to be the biggest fool in sports.
That's all. I'm making a point.
she did stop using for a bit, thats why she ran so shitty the past couple seasons, for god sakes the training at that level takes focus but its short hard stuff so her personal struggles couldnt have weighed on her that bad, it was her lack of juice. if you've been wroking out more than half your life you know how but without juice your human so thats why she went back on it, she figured enough time had passed, stupid.

Exactly.
All right you DEL-happy moderator bastards, keep your grubby little stumps off this one:
". .. according to sources with knowledge of the test results," writes Amy Shipley.
So who's leaking the results to Shipley before the B sample results are in? This is exactly what the Kenyans were criticized for doing in the Lagat case, which also involved the EPO test.
Paging Dr. Heid. Dr. Hans Heid.
The investigation will be the responsibility of USADA, because it was U.S. meet where she tested positive, but you can bet Dick Pound will have plenty to say about it.
