By Rank. I enjoy competing but I lost my love for track and field so I dont take it seriously to the point where I feel I want to be the fastest out there and use PEDS. You dont realize the system until you are in it. Like most people here I was naive as well. I always thought these guys like Greene,Gatlin, Marion train clean and run fast from hard work. Not the case. Yes hard work is put in but with "assistance". These guys bust through the weekly workouts like its a jog when after two days im completely taxed and can barely walk. The workouts are impossible to do without PEDS. Yes there are clean guys out there but they are never at the top. Guys that hang around like Kim Collins and can give a top contender a decent fight on their worst day and maybe sneak into the finals at a competition. For a clean guy to medal they have to have a fallout of the drug users by busting top names such as when Balco went down and Kim Collins won worlds and 20.++ won the 200 meter. THOSE are the CLEAN guys. They are slowly starting to come down on Jamaica which I figured would happen sooner or later with the system they have it is not on a level playing field. Not because they dope too its because they stay doped all the way and right before major championships. Something guys in the US cant do because well they have to cycle off such as in my camp or the random testers will get you. YES we have had random drug tests while on the dope during off season but those are the months the athletes know where to go and how to dodge for 4 or 5 months. Have multiple houses with no connection to you to stay at during the week when testers are trying to find you and make sure your voicemail is full so testers cannot leave a message and it becomes a strike against you. I could go on and on. Stuff is just mind blowing but these athletes want to achieve a "dream" and make a living it all comes down to money
If you're unreachable, that's on you. Can you understand why I'm incredulous to your account? Show me one account of "my voicemail was full" excusing a missed test. Chritine Ohuruogu lost a year because there was a meet at her usual track and she had to use an alternate one and she failed to update UKAD.
Furthermore, even if I give you the benefit of the doubt that you're in this group (which you may be) you don't have a basis by which to cast all others. I'm sure everyone in Sprint Capitol thought everyone else was on something, too. In fact, it was Trevor's selling point (and many others still working today).
