So USADA allowed an athlete using EPO to continue competing without any sanction in return for this athlete providing evidence about wider doping. No evidence seems to have been forthcoming but the athlete never suffered any consequences. How can athletes have any faith that USADA is acting in their interests?
I wonder who it was? If it's EPO then it's an endurance athlete and WADA says the athlete is now retired. So, were down to distance runners or cyclists.
How many athletes have been cheated out of medals or finals because of doped up Americans,or elite(and collegian) athletes who train in the U.S ? theyre as bad as kenya,and nothing is ever done about it.
Seems whoever the informant was doing well before being popped. Being allowed to keep competing probably wouldn't mean they could still dope though.
So, best candidates are top elites who inexplicably tanked but hung in there for a few more years before quitting.
And they knew someone who had a source connected in some way with a Federal trafficking bust. Including human trafficking. Who smuggles both PEDs and people?

All we know is he is an American, and that there is obviously a doping problem in the USA in distance running. Yet posters here still claim that the Brits are all dirty, while Hocker going from getting outkicked by Gourely and Reynould Cheruiyot at Pre, to running the craziest last 300 ever, in a 3:27 Olympic final 10 weeks later, is as wholesome as American Pie.
I've been watching Hocker for years. He always had a steady progression, awaiting one breakthrough. Stop throwing dirt here. And tbh, he's such a religious person who credited his win to God right after the final. He would be the last person to cheat. Doesn't he fear the punishment in the afterlife?
If you think that's suspicious, then Jakob is even more suspicious this year. He went from diving to win with a 3:29 to a 3:26 and then front-running a 3:28.
To get a good person to do evil, you need religion
it’s very clear that the USA has a bigger PED problem than Kenya and though not state sponsored it’s clear all the running groups are dosing as the performances are just not realistic is so many events.
Just looking are how jacked they are that is not normal and reminds me of a certain banned female US athlete the board loves.
Testing needs to be improved, daily tests are needed by independent country not the USA let it slide testing team

I wouldn't be surprised. And what organization could possibly get away with institutional corruption for so long? There's only one candidate for that.
Remember what happened to Nick Symmonds when he left them? I hope he's not the one this thread is about. But it's possible. Whoever it is was likely dumped by their sponsor

Would it being Symmonds explain why he "boycotted" worlds and it seems like he has no involvement with USATF after being so vocal during his career.
Well, I don't think it's Symmonds, but who does testing at Worlds, WADA or USADA? If it's WADA, then whoever it is might stay out of worlds and maybe overseas Diamond League. But then that's a long list so who knows. And you can't easily be caught in-competition for either epo or anabolics
