Steeling is only steeling if there if there is intent.It is not a strict liability offence.
Cheating and mens rea is a explicitly excluded by the rules.
You mix up presumptions with a catalogue of tautological errors.
But then you mix up banter with racial insults and won’t apologise when your errors are pointed out. What chance have we that one day you will read the Wada code and apologise.
Meanwhile how are you getting on with race and intelligence and other background work to justify monkey taunts.
"Steeling"? How can someone as obviously illiterate as you are presume to offer meaningful comment on anything? As an offence, stealing only requires that you took something that you knew wasn't yours. With doping, the offence is the presence of a banned drug in your body for which you have no acceptable explanation. Hence, you knew what you were doing and intent can be inferred, as it was in Houlihan's case. Like a thief who steals, she broke the rules that apply to doping. It wasn't deemed accidental or innocent.
You are an ignorant illiterate buffoon.
Back to vile insults ; I await your normal racist abuse to follow.
Theft is NOT a strict liability offence.
There was zero inferring of intent by the CAS panel in their guilty verdict.
Better if you spent time honing up your studies of eugenics rather that the principles of strict liability and mens rea.
