Taking an OTC protein drink is obviously risky, but you wouldn't *know* that you are going to fail because of it. I can see not really caring at that point if really retired. It would have been more of a wakeup call to file officially for retirement. If he had really stopped running/training after May and told others he was retiring well before this test, like those close to him have said, I'd give him a pass like Lukezic.
Can you give a link to a single otc protein drink with sarm? I am pretty sure that is about as likely as nandolone burrito...
First google result when I searched "preworkout shake 'ostarine.'"

Hardcore MYO TKO DMAA is a very strong pre-training preparation that combines very strong stimulants such as DMAA and higenamine and the addition of SARM Ostaryna. The supplement not only help us in training, but also promote...
And this assumes you have to go looking for it. It seems at least as likely that a workout drink would be contaminated/adulterated with ostarine but not labeled for it. To know how common that is, you can look at the FDA's website, which constantly issues notices about adulterated male libido "herbal" supplements that contain viagra (or similar) when they're not supposed to; it's practically a monthly occurrence.

Lest anyone wants to look, here's the FDA's website for adulterated male products; there are currently 387 of them. If you look at the first entry, a supposed "herbal remedy," it works not because it has herbs, but because it has (unlabeled) sildenafil (i.e., Viagra).
I would love to see the percentage of Nike athletes that get popped for drugs in track and field vs. all other non-nike athletes.
Yeah seriously.
What is going on with Nike? So many of their athletes are suspicious. NOP, BTC, OTC all shady. It was so strange that lackluster college athletes would go to BTC and explode out of the gate.
"Although it is difficult to quantify the extent of the problem, it is estimated that 6.4% to 8.8% of doping cases are caused by tainted dietary supplements."
There was a case of cross-contamination of vitamin tablets with steroids using the same production line.26 The amount of contamination does not have to be great to cause an abnormal doping test. One capsule of a tainted dietary supplement resulted in all having urinary levels of steroid metabolites above the WADA threshold.81 Ingestion of as little as 2.5 µg of 19-norandrostendione, a steroid prohormone, in a dietary supplement (0.00005% contamination) can result in transient elevations of metabolite in urine to fail a doping test.83
Starting in 2000, the first solid evidence for steroid contamination of dietary supplements showed that of 634 nonhormonal dietary supplements from 13 countries and 215 suppliers, 14.8% were contaminated with hormones or prohormones.
Determining whether a specific product contains AAS is difficult without chemical analysis.26 Ingestion of designer steroids has produced positive doping tests in many unsuspecting athletes.54 Once the new AAS is identified and reported to the FDA, the new compound is banned by DEA/FDA, and often, a new compound emerges in the marketplace to replace it.
More recently, other substances have been developed, such as selective androgen receptor modulators, which are nonsteroidal alternatives to activate the androgen receptors on muscle and bone tissue.69 New analytical methods for their detection have been developed since 2006. As with designer steroids, newer substances are constantly entering the supplement market and are a substantial concern for misuse.28
With the increasing use of unregulated dietary supplements, athletes are at continued risk from adverse medical events and inadvertent doping.A review of Clinical Key, MEDLINE, and PubMed databases from 2012 to 2017 was perfo...

Can you give a link to a single otc protein drink with sarm? I am pretty sure that is about as likely as nandolone burrito...
So you are clueless?
"Can SARMs be found in dietary supplements? SARMs are not legal ingredients for any dietary supplements. However, there are many dietary supplements on the market that are contaminated with, or advertise to contain, SARMs. Currently, there are more than 120 of these products listed on the Supplement Connect High Risk List. Dietary supplements containing SARMs could pose significant health risks to athletes and cause a positive test. Athletes should be aware that SARM ingredients could be listed on dietary supplement product labels under various names. The following are examples of SARMs that are frequently and illegally marketed in dietary supplements or as research chemicals: Ostarine (Enobosarm, MK2866, S22) Andarine (S4) LGD-4033 (Ligandrol) LGD-3033 TT-701 RAD140 (Testolone) S23 The following prohibited substances are also sometime marketed as SARMs: SR9009 (Stenabolic) Ibutamoren (MK-677, Nutrabol) GW501516 (GW1516, Cardarine, Endurobol) YK-11"

So give me a link to a protein drink with the product. It is easy right... We aren't talking some shady powder vendor. We are talking about products that need to pass safety inspections to be sold to consumers....
So all those saying that he only retired after finding out he was getting busted are full of it.
He could have refused the test like others but knew that would get him a violation and put him exactly in the position he is in now: facing a "ban" and getting bad press and having to explain himself. So he took test. His workout supplement [ very common] had a SARM.
Sorry to rain on everyone's " THIS IS JUST ANOTHER CLEAR SIGN THAT ***EVERY*** GREAT RUNNER WHO HAS EVER LIVED [ and in the case of coevet and some others- 'EVERY GREAT **BLACK** RUNNER'] WAS OR IS A DOPER!!" parade, but.... his story is probably 100% true.

You want mead to to supply you with the name of the supplement he took? That's fair.
As far as "products that need to pass safety inspections" LOL! you really know nothing about supplements do you?
They are extremely unregulated and pretty much "monitor themselves" until they get busted / in trouble, then shut down.

Yup. Lets just forgive the cheater for the simple reason he's black. Let's attack Shelby again!!
In a world where less than 5% of olympic medalists in distance running have ever been caught taking gear, it boggles my mind that people think any pro is natural. I don't shame Mead for taking stuff at all. Probably just cycled wrong/used higher dosages since he's not as competitive anymore and got popped in a doping test.
People need to stop demonizing PED usage so much in elite sports. It's 2022 and it's obvious the running community is so societally behind it's hilarious.
Shelby's case proved how braindead most of you are and it's showing here again. Just because they're nice people doesn't mean they're not on drugs.

if he goes on a victim tour, we will push back on him. Right now he's muttering lies and "accepting responsibility."
While I buy his explanation, I DO have one question.....WHY did he take the test? They show up for an out of competition test, and he is retired....he should just say "Sorry, I retired, bye bye and sorry for wasting your time."...then turn around and call up USATF and point out that he is retired.

That is a great question that I wondered about myself. The only answer that makes him appear innocent is if he had no knowledge that he ingested something which was prohibited, which is possible, and he thought refusing a test when he is clean would somehow hurt his reputation. Otherwise I am at a loss too as to why he permitted himself to be tested.
