Are these only out of competition tests?

This search includes all in- and out-of-competition test sessions on U.S. athletes conducted under USADA’s Olympic, Paralympic, Pan American, and Parapan American movements testing program. This search will also include test sessions conducted on U.S. athletes training internationally by other testing entities when the request for the test session was made by USADA.

Don't tell me it's a coincidence. USADA has its eyes on them.

These guys must say a little "thank you" to Kara Goucher every time their doorbell rings at 6:00 a.m.

Of course, another explanation is that the reason they have never tested positive with lots of testing is…because they are actually clean.

hmm

Always follow the money. What does NOP spend most of its budget on.......SELF TESTING and Dr. Brown.

Oh do you have some figures to back that up or did you just make that up? I'll answer that for you: "Yep, just pulled that directly out of my ass because it agrees with my preconceived notions that NOP is dirty. But it means that NOP is dirty so it must be true! I am a moran!"

Of course Nike athletes are the most tested.

WADA/USADA: ¨Hey Nike, we tested those guys and they´re glowing.¨

Nike: ¨Here´s more money. What was that again?¨

WADA/USADA: ¨Nice doing business with you.¨

And another explanation, based on the fact that more people dope (30% based on an anonymous 2011 world championship survey) than are caught (less than 2% of tests are found to be positive), is that like most athletes who use drugs, he is careful so as to not test positive.

Yep - just like testing caught Lance and Marion and the Russians and Flo Jo and the majority of female world record holders and....

The testing has improved recently:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27154828

http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/improved-epo-test-set-to-deter-micro-dosing-at-the-tour-de-france/

Maybe payoffs with money from Phil Knight's new Nike Speed Bribeâ„¢ to cover up positive tests is a better conspiracy theory in this case.

That is possible. Then improved testing does not matter.

Then Alberto "Hey, I was just testing testosterone gel on my sons" Salazar would have nothing to worry about.

Pfft. If you have your little tally wackers at attention over some sort of hit on NOP you may want to open your eyes and take a look at what just happened with the Russian doping scandal and shut the fvck up. When a nation can get away with a systemic doping program that is splashed across every media outlet you better bet your sweet bippy that a group as small as NOP will go unobserved by any and all official organizations.

Yo. Can anyone tell me why it's OK to sleep at altitude (thus altering your blood chemistry), put certain foods into your body but not others, take supplements / vitamins, put your legs into an ice bath, get a cortisone shot, get surgery, even take some prescription drugs that are on the TUE list...

but it's not ok to take PEDs?

Here's why I ask. In the best television show ever made, Breaking Bad there is a scene that raises this question.

The scene where Walt and hank enjoy Cuban cigars. Walt openly reflects upon the irony of a DEA agent smuggling cigars and how alcohol was once illegal, to which hank replies "sometimes forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest." The legal status of pot is also discussed in this scene. Walt concludes the discussion by simply saying its arbitrary. I think this is an important theme of the show, the thin line between what's legally and socially accepted or condemned.

Heck, wouldn't wearing shoes with spikes be considered an advantage over running barefoot? Where do you draw the line?

How is taking PEDs any different than the myriad other things people do to gain an edge on their competition? How is that any different than when one runner has access to top facilities and sports medicine doctors while other runners are training in the desert with no financial support? Aren't there current advantages that current runners enjoy - that are perfectly legal - that other runners do not have because of money? When we look at it from a money perspective, isn't it already unfair?

It's just like endangered species. It is always politically correct to say "save x or y species" but in reality there are a number of species of ugly beatles people don't give a shit about and will let go extinct.

I honestly agree with you guys that PEDs "feel" wrong, but logically, I am lured more and more by Malcolm Gladwell's argument that it would be better if PEDs were legal and regulated, and the new rules would force athletes to show / post publicly what they are taking so that the fans could make their own conclusions. It might be more interesting to see Runner A who takes lots of PEDs go up against Runner B who takes none and watch Runner B win.

So my challenge to you all is: answer the following question in 1-2 sentences with a compelling answer: How is taking PEDs any different than the myriad other things people do to gain an edge on their competition?

No surprise. What's surprising is cucks like the OP turn a blind eye when it comes the E. Africans avoiding all out of season testing. And Kenya does NOTHING but SAY it will go along with official requirements for drug testing

and the cucks are satisfied. Now that officials have winked and nodded, watch for the Kenyans and Epopians to suddenly pull unreal performances out of their ...hats. LOL

Agreed. The NOP haters are the dumbest, roid rage filled losers on the planet. They come up with juvenile conclusions and tag lines that they repeat incessantly. They are delusional dimwits who need to get a life. Maybe someday after they pass pubescence they will learn to think logically before they speak. If they are actually "grown ups" already, then all I can say is shame on them. I hope that they or their loved ones are not subjected to the slander and innuendo that they constantly spew at the NOP.

HI Eric!

What is a cuck?

And how does noticing that NOP gets tested a lot make a person a cuck, whatever that is?

Hey sh*t for brains. Why is NOP being investigated by USADA and Travis Tygart?

Because "I sleep with athletes" Steve Magness and "I want attention" Kara Goucher are delusional liars.

Sad situation wrote:

That is level 1.

Level 2 is that USADA can be paid off and botch the B sample

Level 3 is that USATF is crooked and must accept a positive test.

No. It doesn't work like this.

Usada does not operate a lab. In fact, nados have almost zero authority.

Usatf cannot be forced to accept a result. They can decline to sanction. We know they do this.

Haha. I don't think something counts as an explanation if it has already been disproven.
