So I keep reading about L-carnitine injections and the NOP? Just to get some clarification, can't I go buy this stuff at my local supplement peddling store? Furthermore, isn't it naturally occurring in high doses in red meat? What is the big deal? Are injections of non drug related substances of any kind not ok? Is it the principle of this "gray" area behavior and not the actual substance?
It's almost like you didn't read any of the context around this at all and are intentionally playing dumb!
L-Carnitine is a totally legal substance in any amount at all.
Infusions of more than 50ml in a 6 hour period is a prohibited method.

No, he's not playing.
What I want to know is whether the story of Magness's magic tempo run with Ritz, Mo, Rupp is true.
If so, is it the LCarnitine (in which case it's cleaaaarly a performance enhancer given that volume and should be illegal) or is it -- dare I say -- a simple case of "Magness is BACK baby!!"

And this is what the great NOP doping scandal is hinged on. Give me a break.

Could you elaborate on this story of a magic tempo run for those of us that don't follow NOP's every movement?

By the way, best part of that story is that Rupp was pissed off that Magness was holding on. So unfortunate to bruise your tender ego, Little Elf.

just read this update:
"Update: ​Magness tweeted that actually, the run was at 5:05 pace, though he has since deleted the tweet."

Lol first inaccuracy for Magness cough cough
