Why do you think that?
You realize it was an independent arbitrator who made the decision and not USADA. It was rooted in precedents from CAS.
Exactly, CAS is killing any half-hearted attempts to clean up the sport.

actually no. The drug they referenced Moxylong is Amoxicillin and a common steroid that has been used for infections (I know it because I had a bad allergic reaction to it as a kid).

Still surprised on one has asked for pics yet of the offender, the She Devil that enticed him to bite the able. [No, really, any pics?]

This is true all of those on my maternal line are allergic to Amoxicillin.

Meanwhile, NOP athletes have not failed a single test and they get burnt at the stake.
Salazar does get his own testing done on NOP athletes which is rather suspicious.
Basically secret internal documents from the IAAF suggest they suspect Rupp, Farah and Hasan are dopers.
Salazar is most likely "a smooth criminal."
It does mean something, just maybe not what you think it means.
Doping Control Form v8 wrote:
Mr. Obvious wrote:It is in no way mandatory to put down any supplements at all on your doping control form.
The form says
DECLARATION OF MEDICATION USE AND BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS:
LIST ANY PRESCRIPTION/NON-PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS OR SUPPLEMENTS, FOR E.G. BETA-2 AGONISTS AND GLUCOCORTICOIDS, TAKEN OVER THE PAST 7 DAYS (INCLUDE DOSAGE AND DATE LAST TAKEN WHERE POSSIBLE) AND (IF A BLOOD SAMPLE IS COLLECTED) ANY BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS OVER THE LAST THREE MONTHS.
There's then a "SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT FORM?" tick box if you need more room than the available.
The Instructions say
The DCO or the Athlete should complete the Declaration of Medication Use and Blood Transfusions section of the DCF. Blood Transfusions in the past three months should be recorded only when a blood sample is collected. If there is not enough space in this section, the DCO/Athlete should continue on a SRF and record the number of the SRF on the DCF. The DCO must ensure that no Athlete information is contained on this SRF.
Whatever the current CAS/WADA opinion is regarding this section, it's just stupid to have it there if it ultimately means nothing.
I'm finding the massive number of tests followed up by the massive number of ridiculous excuses accepted by USA anti-doping is beyond parody.
Good to know they are having some good sex.
Agreed. Travis Tygart is a massive self-righteous hypocrite.

White = bad
Non-white = good
Step back and look at the politics in track - especially with E. Africans avoiding out of season testing. Every single time someone has the nerve to bring this up, all of a sudden there's a story about Salazar, or "leaked" info pointing the fingers everywhere but at dopers.
Sprinters have always been protected in the US while throwers can be caught at the same time and they have to walk the plank.
How's Ajee doing with that b.s. story? She was let walk while on this board we'd still be hearing about it if it had been Kate Grace.
Step back and look at the world outside of track. Look at the media specifically. Wait, it's LR. Few here are smart enough to do that.

Same old, same old.
At this stage the doping controls are mocking you and rubbing in face .......
wada are there exactly for this purpose
we ban meldonium , so as can make similar chemical and hand that out
we decide who dopes basically......
why not we decide who wins as best dope will enable it so.
just like what happening in boxing , doing best to destroy it
did mcgregor not say does very words
a set up , 100 million to fake a ko
and past few obvious set up results from pacquio , even though he was rubbish
and 2 kovalev fights again likely he was in on whole script for second fight or 1st
and fake hitting stats , all add up to this
and dana white is chosen one and sending all people to mma
which also has its fair share of recent set up fights ,
the making of fighters persona more important and money ..

I have no idea whether to believe this excuse or not. But, I think NO MATTER WHAT the reason, there has to be a ban of some duration for ANY positive test. Athletes have to be held responsible for what is in their body be it due to tainted beef, kissing someone on medication, or whatever crazy circumstances that caused it to get there. I say a minimum three month penalty no matter how convincing the explanation. As a professional athlete, part of your job is to make sure nothing on the WADA banned substances list ends up in your body. Failure to do this must be penalized. I would also add that I think in both this case and the Ajee Wilson case, USADA is making these exceptions in order to keep these athletes in the World Champs. I bet if these positive tests had come in October they would have been handed 3-6 months bans.
Totally agree with you.

Frequent, passionate kissing while she had a sinus infection - gross.
This is the part that makes me think this story is BS. I could be wrong, but I would think that professional athletes are pretty cautious about catching infections from their close contacts. Catching a cold or flu can result in precious days or weeks lost in training.
By the end it almost seemed like the arbitrator was masturbating to the idea of Roberts and Salazar kissing. ("John Thomas"? That's just the icing on the cake.)
The part at the beginning of the PDF about Roberts wanting a stay of 30 days to take a closer look at his supplements had me almost laughing out loud. I still see the words "...so he could come up with a good story" even when I stare at the page and tell myself I'm imagining it.

I don't know if I buy your argument, unless you agree that Aries Merritt, Luke Puskedra, and Evan Jager are also "smooth criminals".

Why? He called Salazar, not Rupp et al., as a "smooth criminals".
Plus, who considers Gatlin as one of the "track heroes and ambassadors of the sport"?
Every race from now he must be introduced while Mary Chapin Carpenter is played in the background.
So this guy doesn't spit, he swallows?

Really ? I don't remember seeing USADA hammer dropped on Maggie Vessey when she tested positive for a fairly well known female masking agent, neither seeing letsrunners hounding her .
I was literally laughing out loud when I heard today's good news.
