Debbie Dunn tests positive

almost comical how obvious the drug cheats are, i'd name them but people would get all p*ssy. I said Dunn last year and of course it got deleted.

Why was this revealed before the B sample was tested?

Can't anyone follow procedures wrote:

Probably because DD withdrew from the Olympic squad and made a public statement about it. I agree, the testers themselves should not break the rules.

From the little I've read, I think Dunn has manned up (so to speak) about as much as any pro could. I would guess that many sponsorship contracts might require the sponsored athletes to contest, not admit, any positive arising from the A sample--her statement comes about as close to an admission as I'm likely to see.

I can't believe the OP didn't use "Dunn is Done" for the subject. That'd have been funny, or am I the one person here who has a terrible sense of humor?

I was thinking "Debbie is Dunn?" yep, I can appreciate good humor.

She tried to game the system and got caught. Well, she'll walk around with a scarlet letter the rest of her days.... Was it worth it Debbie?

You ain't supposed to be taking male hormone.... you a girl.

You DO know that Allyson Felix was one of the first volunteers for the biological passport right?

If Derek tests positive he gets 50 games. What would Carmelita get if she tested positive? How long is that?

If Felix is clean and really wants to make a stand against drugs, then she knows what she should do now.

She should return any relay medals from a team that included a doped Debbie Dunn.

From the linked article:

Dunn.... had an unremarkable career until 2009, when she lowered her outdoor personal best in the 400 from 51.11 to 49.95 and qualified for her first global outdoor championship.

She was the 2010 indoor world champion and outdoor U.S. champion in the event and ran a leg of the gold medal 4 x 400 relays at the 2009 outdoor worlds and 2010 indoor worlds.

So she had a big improvement late in her athletics career and started winning medals, beginning 2009. Take a look who was on those relay teams.

Allyson Felix

Lashinda Demus

Sanya Richards

Jessica Beard*

* Runners who participated in the heats only and received medals.

Would a clean athlete want to keep those relay medals?

'It's Jeter, rhymes with "better" NOT "Cheater"!'

Hahah

I don't know, probably? What does keeping the medals have to do with using or not using drugs? I probably wouldn't give up my Olympic medal unless they asked me to.

I'm not suggesting there is any evidence that Felix or other team members were doping, but you only need one doper to make a doped team. Can someone really claim to be anti drugs, but be happy to win medals as part of a doped team?

There is a precedent here of course, Michael Johnson gave back his relay medals.

Please let's not bring up the "Lance defence", yes I'm aware the other teams might have had dopers too.

she has a cute face, even with the drugs she was using. it sucks that she had to do it though.

but some women can pack on steroids or whatever and still keep their cute facial look. female bodybuilders just take it to the extreme, and some of them end up looking cute, but like cute men instead

She has that typical steroid jaw/chin that all the females sprinters have. Not that difficult to figure out just by looking at her face.

It's easy to say this as an outside observer but I would give up my medals in a heart beat if I found out one of my teammates was suspended for doping. If you want a clean sport, do your part to make it one.

Dunn is 34, set her PR at 32. Sure.

Jeter is 32, set her PR's (not including the Beijing 100) at 31.

Also, you guys should check out Jeter's wiki. Looks like LRC is making an impact!

Derek. Nobody his age hits like that without being on the juice, cream, clear, or the cloudy. He's having a Roger Clemens like resurgence.

A lot of people think Clemens had a resurgence in Toronto. He was just as good in Boston before he left for Toronto. That's a fact almost always overlooked because of people's inability to break down stats. Anyone who followed his last year in Boston who's not an idiot would know that.

Debbie Dunn Did It.

i kinda like running wrote:

I swear to God, just one time I'd like to see an athlete caught doping just go, "Yeah. You got me. Sorry." They always deny it.

Cathal Lombard and Martin Fagan.

you would give up your medal even if it is proved that the person who admitted taking drugs did not do so in the years when he or she competed in the event in which you won the medal (s)?

i somehow do not believe you.

Don't be a Debbie Dunner
