You are hardly alone. I have talked to lots of professional baseball or football players. I have yet to meet one who has read the rule book. Yet they are all sure they know the rules.
From your grammar, I can't tell if you've started paying attention to the doping code. Have you?
Did you see this part???
From USADA - "Some reports suggest that administration of IV infusions, including dietary supplement and vitamin cocktails, are being provided to athletes for recuperation, recovery or lifestyle reasons.
"This medical practice is PROHIBITED at all times without prior TUE approval."
(NONE of the NOP athletes had a TUE for the IV L-carnitine infusions. Alberto told the athletes to keep the IV infusions secret. There is no information in the medical records of any of the 5 athletes to indicate the quantity of L-carnitine given in the IV infusions either in terms of total amount of L-carnitine or by the concentration of the infusion (mg of L-carnitine/mL).
There is also nothing in the medical records about the total volume of the L-carnitine IV infusions in all 5 NOP athletes.
It is just a coincidence that in all 5 athletes this important information is missing in their medical records.
It is also just a coincidence that Dr. Brown altered the medical records of Dathan Ritzenhein by later removing a page which had information on the L-carnitine infusion and adding a notation of "40 mL" to his medical record.
Why did Dr. Brown do that?
It is also just a coincidence that the British doctor who administered the L-carnitine IV infusion to Mo Farah in April 2014 before the London marathon also DID NOT RECORD the amount of L-carnitine administered or the total volume of the IV L-carnitine infusion in the medical records of Mo Farah. Dr. Chakraverty administered the L-carnitine infusion protocol that was given to the head of UK Athletics Barry Fudge by Alberto Salazar.
When he was questioned about this, Dr. Chakraverty stated that he was busy and did not remember to record it in the medical records of Mo Farah.
It turns out that Dr. Chakraverty has a really bad memory and forgot to record this information in the medical records of Mo Farah.
However, Dr. Chakraverty could remember that the L-carnitine IV infusion given to Mo Farah…was exactly 13.5 mL…but with no information on the concentration of the infusion or the total amount of L-carnitine administered to Mo Farah in the IV infusion.
Dr. Chakraverty could remember that he administered exactly 13.5 mL of an IV infusion of an unknown amount of L-carnitine to Mo Farah…and then did not remember to record it in the medical records of Mo Farah.
http://www.bbc.com/sport/athletics/39627807It turns out that Dr. Chakraverty has a really good memory and a really bad memory…all at the same time.
Dr. Brown also has a really bad memory and forgot to record the total quantity of L-carnitine or the volume of the L-carnitine IV infusions in all 5 NOP athletes.
OK???
There is nothing to see here.
It is just a coincidence.
