He’s ran 9.96… respectable time. Most guys on drugs don’t EVER break 10 seconds, or even 10.1.

Just like most guys in the gym roiding up don’t ever get close to touching 405 in the bench press.

Probably was on some decent Turinabol and then when the Russians all got popped, maybe he decided to switch to SARMS? Should’ve stuck with the old reliable.

“Supplements”, LMAO. Bullcrap. No athlete needs them, they are not nearly as effective as are whole foods.

Total crap. People get them only for their excuse value, and/or because they are dumb enough to believe in snake oil.

Also, strict liability has nothing to do with religious beliefs.

I tend to agree with you. I see some athletes who probably do it for light endorsement money. But often those are not the type that could get you busted. That might be a defensible position.

If he was taking a supplement claiming to help build strength or power (it sounds like he was) come on that is idiotic.

you dont actually need to use the supplement to endorse it. and supplements have external testing regimes they can join to prove what is in their supplements. but any time you buy your next batch of 'claimed xyz' powder from china etc, all bets are off.

maybe i should talk to lord coe about opening a shell company to sell supplements to athletes, then i can get the batches back tested once one of lord coe's athetes get busted. Lord Coe would pay me handsomely i am sure. And Nike, and BTC.

Sabotage !

Rubbish!

Why is it rubbish?

Has much merit certainly more than taking stuff in the two or so weeks with saturation testing.

What bothers me is why an Olympic athlete is stupid enough to be taking supplements?

Who is coaching him? Who is advizing him?

He should be able to have the supplement tested, assuming he still has some left. Maybe he'll get lucky and receive some mitigation but that medal is gone. At least his story has some plausibility and he didn't go for some tainted kebab garbage or something similar

This is true, I work in the branded space and you can get away with appearing to use the supplement in a bunch of clever ways. So, if it's just for the paycheck...And I agree totally around the supplements that are trustworthy and the ones that are snake oil.

Everyone seems to be in agreement that even if he is able to prove that the supplement was tainted the medals are gone and probably the best hope is more like a 6-month ban or something.

Either he didn’t have a deignated and knowledgeable nutritionist or he ignored advice.

Which is it?

Designated.

Anyone have any thoughts on who raestakes is talking about in his latest Twitter thread??

They nearly all take supplements.

Look at the cyclists during a race and the special good etc during marathons.

Where have you been?

Agree.

And interesting what other tests he had during the games period ; clearly , if any, they were clean.

Well in this case, I agree with Sprintgeezer. Supplements = Snake oil. No athlete, elite or otherwise should be taking them.

Maurten isn’t in this category…if they had tainted fuel during marathons trust me there’d be hundreds of positive tests. They are tested and just feature sugar and electrolytes

Any pills or potions with a fancy label telling you how much fitter, faster or healthier you will be when you take them.

Does that include vitamin pills? Maybe? I would say yes don't take vitamin pills if you're going to be tested.

An British Olympic athlete should have a nutritionist to advise them. What went wrong here?

You have a point to be fair I agree with you which is why christians in the west have embraced despicable practices like sex outside of marriage and same-sex marrigage. I am also seeing a steep downturn in religion in europe which is quite sad. But compared to places like britain spain is still way more religious

Keep your bigoted hypocritical pseudo morality in the closet. Letting it out in the open you just come across as a fool.

Spain is not a very religious place. Far less so than the USA. Don't confuse religion and culture (a procesion in Sevilla is culture far more than it is religion).

It's no accident that the societies that are most sexually open are the most prosperous and successful economically.

What if it does not have a fancy label ?

I think you better get a better definition.

Cornflakes and Mars bars say how well you will be with them.
