Has a big enough pair to beat everyone else in the field.

Not big enough for top 15 at Chicago

So what are all you guys going to do when Shura actually does test positive?

Your point is not a good one. Parker got beat (bad) and then immediately implied (and I guess explicitly stated) to all the world that the guy who beat him must be cheating. Punk move.

Total punk move - who knows who is doing what - even if he believes that guy to be dirty it's a biotch @ss move to start dragging someone through the mud with no evidence. For the most part it's all speculation with EPO as the detection window is so small. Even though there's the picture painted of US athletes as totally innocent and the rest of the world as the wild west of doping, I think the reality of it is there's probably US distance athletes doing EPO, HgH and maybe testosterone. I heard WADA and USADA have something like a 10 hour window of respect they won't random athletes during sleep hours and I think EPO has a detection window if used IV of 6 or so hours (quoted from lance armstrong on a you tube video), and I believe likely true based on widespread reported use of epo and such few positive tests.

I think there's another perception that's wrong that athletes like Ed Cheserek and Sifan Hassan who run for the US and Amsterdam as Kenyan and Ethiopian born athletes are the just coincidentally exceptional athletes and happened to immigrate to the west, and we (US and Europe) just happened to hit the lottery in getting these athletes. I'd argue the contrary and say there's probably dozens of Ed Chesereks and Sifan Hassan's in Kenya and Ethiopia. No one is calling Ed Cheserek or Sifan Hassan dopers b/c they're westerners now.

Only reason they caught this douche is b/c he's also an idiot and carried epo vials with him in his jacket in the training van and some buddies found it.

Parker Stinson is probably a doper
