Nijel Amos Tests Positive

What is GW1516 used for?
GW1516, also known as GW501516, Cardarine and Endurobol, was originally developed in the 1990s as a treatment for diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular disease. It was discontinued in 2007 after it was linked to the rapid development of cancer during trials on mice.

I would touch this stuff with a 100 foot pole - WTF!!!

Looks like Aduck2022 knows a thing or two, or he has a DMC DeLorean vehicle with a flux capacitor!? Great call Aduck2022.

"GW501516 .........
was banned afterall in autumn 2013
and no replacement as of yet .
kipketer never thought his record would go
with the extra controls on epo ........all about legacy with these guys.
2012 olympic 800m final was so dirty ,
amos and third finisher on this too ..."

This (above) was posted 6 years ago. The fact that someone knew and told us the exact drug Amos was on 6 years ago, and which now is being shown to be the same drug he has just tested positive for, is surely very significant and cannot be dismissed as merely a coincidence. I had never heard of this drug either, though obviously have read it in passing. I would suggest it's extremely likely Amos was on this in 2012 in London.

This is where you gotta give the Americans in mid distance at the highest level like Centro or Symmonds or Manzano props because they are tested so much, and they can’t just escape into the mountains or get tipped off etc.

IKR. I'm looking forward to the gofundme page as well.

IKR. Clearly demonstrating the bias of Rojo/Wejo once again.

Just to add one persons perspective - I took this stuff for a month or two probably 10 years ago. A physicians assistant of all things (who was a cyclist) recommended it to me knowing I was a locally competitive marathon runner. I ignored his advise… a couple years later I was coming off an injury and struggling with my weight - a power lifter friend recommended Cardarine to shed some fat. It was, at the time, (2012?) very easy to get online. It came in a tincture and I took a dropper of it every day. I honestly can’t even say if it worked or not because I got such bad acne after a couple weeks that I threw the rest out. I know a lot of people take this and other legally, or just easily, obtainable drugs. But I wouldn’t have a clue where to get EPO or HGH!

You are forgetting USADA's habit of giving warning calls. Plus, you can look up how often people got tested. For most of them, it's less than once a month.

Aduck2022 deserves a black page.

Looks like they aren't exactly proud of their pro-doper actions.

because they are unaccountable cowards

for Covid?

GW1516 is cardarine. Its commonly used among recreational athletes for its almost immediate benefits of increasing endurance. When I say commonly, I mean it’s very common among young adults and even high school teenagers. It’s also easy to acquire and has legal loopholes to obtain it, so it’s hard for someone to get in trouble if they order the substance because in the USA it can be gotten for “research purposes”. People like the fitness effect gives. Anecdotally many users say it improves endurance even if they’re out of shape and do cardio minimally. It was once a drug that was developed for human use to treat diabetes and slow metabolism in older people. Results were initially very promising in the test phase in which it was given orally to rats. The rats improved their endurance in lab trials. Then after the phase ended, a disturbing result emerged in the rats. Many of the rats started developing cancers in various organs of their body. The substance was deemed to risky , and to disregard the cancer results of this study would require more trials with rats and millions of additional dollars for research to determine the cause and the exact doses that contributed to the cancers. Ultimately, the panel for whom the company developed it scrapped the product and lost a few million dollars in investments.

Boy, are you guys late to the party. If you only knew.

Haha yes. And it's not a coincidence that Aduck used 2022 - he did know.

There’s two different situations, he was taking for years and years and he happened to get popped, or he started taking it recently to try and stay competitive.

Wow, ya 16 hour half-life. How much has to be left in the system for it to be detected? I imagine if you are tested more than a day or two after taking it then it wouldn't be detected.

I don’t want to be pretentious here or give you disrespect, but as one of the cofounders of this site you’ve never heard of this substance? Track is a very dirty sport, young stars and experienced stars have had their careers erased with positive doping tests on a rate almost as high as Olympic weightlifters. The 2nd most dirty sport there is. You haven’t heard of one of the most popular, easy to acquire, controversial drugs for losing weight and improving endurance? Cardarine is popular among many young fools who disregard a study done on it with lab rats where many of them had huge rates of cancer after a trial was done with them. It was suppose to be a perfect drug, it had all the positive side effects of an anti diabetes, anti aging, slow metabolism drug that pharmaceutical companies were looking for - until they found out the end results of the lab rats.

A "frog in a blender". Great image. I remember thinking much the same when I saw the race. How could such a discombobulated spectacle achieve such an incredible performance - and at 18? Doping was the obvious conclusion. And lo and behold ...

I remember that guy used to post about a lot of random peptides and wondered if this was one of them. I'm still not sure how much he really knew about specifically which athletes were dirty, but credit where credit is due.
