wejo's mccarthy drug hunt

Rogge said no evidence has been found to implicate her, but he questioned her judgment. ''She is today technically innocent,'' Rogge told The Sunday Times of London. ''But ultimately she has to ask herself something about the perception that people might have, that people might say, 'Are you sure you are living with the right people?'''

- and that was 2 years ago!

i just wish the johnsons would shut the hell up. go back to yale you damn yankees

REMEMBER HOW CERTAIN MEET DIRECTORS FAILED TO INVITE HER TO MEETS? THAT HAPPENED LONG BEFORE THIS DISCLOSURE. I DON'T SEE WHAT SHE LOST IN THE LAST THREE WEEKS. I SERIOUSLY DOUBT SHE HAD MUCH IN THE WAY OF ANYTHING (ENDORSEMENTS, ETC) COMING HER WAY BECAUSE OF HER PRIOR HISTORY.

IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT WEEDING DRUGS FROM THE SPORT, THAN THOSE WHO ASSOCIATE WITH DRUG DEALERS AND ATHLETES WHO HAVE TESTED POSITIVE FOR DRUGS SHOULD EXPECT GREATER SCRUTINY THAN THE AVERAGE ATHLETE. JONES HAS BROUGHT MUCH OF THIS ON HERSELF. I SAY, LET THE JOURNALISTS FIND OUT WHY THERE IS SO MUCH SMOKE SWIRLING AROUND HER.

The B sample buys a star athlete enough time to get the restult corrected...Jones and Lagat werer/are guilty but when the big boy$ get rollin' (Nike) they are able to get the desired result on the B....

....in other words, can't the B sample come out the day after the A sample, or does that elliminate the wiggle factor. Can you imagine the shame for Nike if Lagat's B came back positive? They keepin' that dude under wraps now. And USADA don't need no trouble either....C-O-R-R-U-P-T-I-O-N.

All I can say on this topic is that I am sick to death of the "trial by media" mode of thinking that pervades out culture today: Person X is sure of this, person Y is sure of that. Let's get a few experts on the telly to read into various statements and spout suppositions about every little factoid. Yes, let's get everyone whipped into a frenzy in spite of the fact that very, very few of the participants have the requisite knowledge or detailed case information and background in order to make a proper analysis. Besides, it will help distract them from more important issues.

This is a witch hunt mentality and it goes against rational, deliberative thought. We put legal structures in place to prevent being overtaken by emotional mob mentality, yet it seems every outlet, whether it be TV, radio, print, or web, has to offer their so-called "analysis" of the situation and announce their verdict. It simply doesn't matter if you believe that Marion is guilty of doping or not, this process should be avoided. It produces mostly heat and very little light. I have my suspicions as does everyone else. Let's leave it at that. If there is to be any discussion, let it be on improved methodology, funding, and the like.

First, quit yelling, asshole. Find the Caps Lock key and press it again.

Second, you really know nothing about the sordid history of the rhEPO test, do you? Go do your homework. Start with the Yegorova case, then read Hans Heid's report. If you still don't understand why her A sample tested positive, you never will.

Dweedle, are you saying you think Jones is clean? Look at her! She's getting hard bodied up like FloJo....

I for one could care less. How an athlete trains on their own time... what vitamins they take. What supplements they take. How much, if any "pot" they smoke. If they are secretly a "crack head". How much yoga they do. How much mediation and spiratual guidance they do to psyche themselves up for the race is nobodies business.

What an athlete does to prepare, is their judgement call to make... and if their routine is mental zen like preparation, then so be it. If they want to down gallons of Creatine... then so be it. If they want to have a strict regimine of vitamins, Protein drinks and some kooky diet... thats their business.... nor do I care whether they "rhoid" up. The job of an athlete is to train for an event. That is something that is done on their own time. Nobody should be butting their noses into an athletes training regimine.

If the sports governing officials want to butt their noses in on race day and check for extremely specific drugs that ONLY help on that race day... then fine... maybe we can all agree to draw the line there.... but an athletes spare training time is theirs, and should not be questioned.

In no way are taking steroids "unethical". This is pure propaganda crap drilled into peoples heads by 80 years of drug warrior posturing. Just proving the theory that if you say something often enough, even outright lies... people will eventually believe it. Propaganda truly is wonderful in its ability to cause people to lose any sense of logic.

Every athlete decides what path they want to follow in their training... and if taking supplements, or massive amounts of protein, or taking steroids is the path they want to take.. I dont care. Its their damned right to take whatever steps necessary to prepare their bodies for the track.

Jones was inside 20 feet of me with sweats off for 3 or 4 minutes early this summer I was struck by her overall tone and fitness not her bulk. Admit it's been couple three years since I've been that close but I have TV.

I'm surprised she ended up B negative but that still lumps her with the others. I feel 40-60% of the elite proformances

are suspect.

I've read that UST&F sent out a letter indicating that largescale firestorm is on the radar. I have not seen the letter but I'm told the tone is that some of the stuff is not going to come out of the lab but from a long ongoing investigation.

So, does that mean track and field is dead?

So no EPO test is accurate? Or is it possible to have an accurate test?

Your logic is flawed. The EPO test is sometimes flawed. So Jones' test was flawed.
