Dude, don't shatter the little world that he has so carefully constructed for himself.

Have you heard of the former world champion LaShawn Merritt?
Or Marion Jones, Tim Montgomery, Justin Gay
How is the out of comp testing in Kenya, Ethiopia and Jamaica going?

I think you mean, "As clean and fresh as Charles Bronson in the Mandom commercial...."

As long as he doesn't compete in a penis-size competition I don't see what the problem is.

They are careful in confirming results before they announce any positives.
Example - Rashid Ramzi won Gold in the 2008 Olympics.
His positive test was announced the next April and the B sample confirmed in July, nearly a year later.
I thought the reason his positive took so long to be announced was because it was a result of the retesting for CERA. These tests were carried out a while after the olympics?

Pretty well. Why wouldn't it?
I can't believe you guys think that you put the urine cup into a magical machine and it spits out a POSITIVE or NEGATIVE in 5 minutes flat. These tests take a LONG TIME to carry out. Multiply that by...however many hundreds of athletes there were at the WCs and it'll take weeks, at least, to get A samples tested. Then more time for the B samples to be tested and the dopers revealed.
The doctors designing the drugs are being paid far more than the inferior doctors charged with developing the tests.
why can't all drugs be legal like in the El G and Armstrong era
...Wait a few months.
doctors are not designing drugs. Chemists and pharmacists do that.
When Ben Johnson tested positive, it took a couple of days only to announce it... The championship were not even finished. Not years... Procedure has changes since then, but...
kim chee is the best masking agent

1) WADA is stretched thin across the globe.
2) Those three federations lack any equivalent to USADA.
Just for grins:
3) You wouldn't have the first clue about how well it's going.

It's probably going as well as the testing at their national championship...

1) It's actually not as bad as it might sound. First, you've got to be at a certain level of ability to be in the testing pool so it's only a fraction of all the athletes in the world, most of which will be based in centralized training areas. Next, many of the top tier countries have their own anti-doping organizations, so that allows WADA/IAAF testers to then focus on those that don't. So while Taiwan may not have it's own anti-doping association, international testers aren't needed to go meet up with Chen Hsing-Yu because she's not at the level to consume their resources.
Second, those countries you mentioned that lack independent anti-doping associations don't require visas issued in advance for most western nationalities.
2)/3) I grinned, in part because I know enough to know you're wrong on your second point.
By the way, Letsrun.com's resident elite coach has confirmed that more than a dozen out of comp tests are administered in Iten on a weekly basis, usually with testers that come out of South Africa. Of course, you could think that he fabricated those details.

Grin away, yet you provide nothing better than hearsay. The Kenyan, Ethiopian, and Jamaican federations lack an equivalent to USADA. You fail to even name what organization these testers work under! Weak sauce, you're still clueless.

Wrong.
Links not claims. Thanks.
That's a good question. What is the name of these organizations?!
