UK Sports ran secret project to provide UK athletes PEDs during London 2012

According to a DM article, contained in the participant information sheet were these gems:

‘UK Sport does not guarantee, promise, assure or represent that use of ketone esters is absolutely World Anti-Doping Code compliant and therefore excludes all responsibility for use of the ketone ester.’

‘WADA might exercise ... their rights to regulate … [and] collect blood samples or retrospectively test old samples. This may occur if there were pressure of the media if the concept was to leak. However … ketosis is a temporary physiological state and would be difficult to prove or test with any post-event samples.’

Doesn't mean anything. They're just closing any legal loopholes.

Sounds cynical in writing, but it's nothing groundbreaking.

So what you are saying is the uk has its own version of the NOP?

NOP times ten. Radcliffe was the most outrageously blatant doping cheater in the history of all sports.

Honey, I’m sorry you’re still not over our divorce but I’m happy in Wales now with my new love.

Please move on.

You must be an imposter; all my wives brushed and flossed.

After reading that title, the article is a real letdown, lol. Exogenous ketones are expensive and sketchy, but legal.

This is state-sponsored doping. Paid for with taxpayer funds to the tune of hundreds of thousands of pounds.

Also, it created an unfair situation in the team selection process. Only certain athletes were included (and they couldn’t tell anyone). So you might be up for selection against someone who was in the ketone program. And if you were asked to join the ketone program, you might be afraid to say no because it might affect your selection.

It’s the coercion and lack of accountability (by UK Sport) that’s the real issue here, not the specifics of the substance. You could feel forced to comply with the program and then if WADA found something via contamination or interaction, then you’d be on your own.

Define doping.

All specialised training programmes are unfair on those not included ; is this cheating ?

No news here.

If you ain’t doping you ain’t winning.

If you ain’t breaking the spirit of sport you ain’t got a chance .

LOL!

Hard to argue against that?
