From the Guardian:
"Oxycodone is banned as a narcotic but is not considered performance enhancing or to be a masking agent."
If she had declared it on the TUE, this would not have been an issue. An unfortunate mistake.

What I understand is that you think that a 34 year old running faster than she ever has is proof she is clean - which logically requires that doping reduces performance with age and that only clean athletes improve - and that a "clean" athlete can match the performances of one of the biggest dopers in the history of the sport, who was 6 years younger. If a middle-aged sprinter can run as fast as a doper at her peak, I wonder why anyone is concerned to eradicate doping - it clearly doesn't enhance performance.
So check this out: I'm the one who has been on an anti-doping crusade for the longest time on this board, and in total maybe longer than you have been alive.
But even I am forced to agree with everybody else on this board: YOU ARE A TOTAL MORAN.
You don't read what people write, you don't examine your own arguments, you assume what you set out to prove, and you mischaracterize what you are doing by speaking in absolutes.
You are disrespectful, lacking in intelligence,, inarticulate, and arrogant.
There is zero point in discussing anything with you. To be ignored is the ultimate insult.
I can only hope that someone else got some benefit from my previous posts.

Still flogging that dead horse. The "unfortunate mistake" earned her a 6 month ban. A bit more serious than a mere "mistake", it seems. You can also get a TUE for all kinds of banned substances - it's called legalised doping. You don't get a TUE for substances that aren't on WADA's list.
None of any of this shows that it wasn't "really" a doping violation - as is being argued here. Regardless of whether the substance in question was performance enhancing, she broke the antidoping rules. She's certainly not the first Jamaican to do so.

You are at least an optimist.

Arrrgh, the grauniad just states its a narcotic and not a ped or a masking agent, without any explanation or reference - so nothihg to trust.
WADA dont even have an 'S' subsection for PEDs;
https://www.wada-ama.org/en/content/what-is-prohibited/prohibited-at-all-times.
Yes, its in the section of 'narcotics', but stop watching Miami Vice and look up the medical term for narcotics. Its not illegal, it is a substance that can be abused in real life, but it is specifically (by deliberate omission) not on the wada list as such.
I havent looked but it seems as if she could have got a tue for it, who knows?
taking opiates an unfortunate mistake? give it a rest.
She is now targeting Flo Jo Record.
Still fresh from her barrier-breaking run just over a week ago World and Olympic champion Shelly-Ann Fraser- Pryce has already adjusted her sights and says the once-forbidding world record of 10.49 seconds might not be so daunting after all.
Fraser-Pryce exploded from the starting blocks at the third Jamaica Olympic Association/Jamaica Athletics Administrative Association Olympic Destiny Series at the National Stadium on June 5 and, when she crossed the finish line, the clock showed a jaw-dropping 10.63 seconds (1.3m/s), making her the second-fastest woman ever to run the event.
She will not get 10.49 unless there is a +4.0 or +5.0 wind and the gauge reads zero, and she executes a flawless race.
Not happening, but it would be funny if the conditions happened in Jamaica and they reported the wind as 0.0. Fair is fair😂
As a matter of fact maybe they should just fudge her a 10.48, just because—especially if she ends up winning in Tokyo.
If SA FP is clean, then Flo-Jo was clean and Carmelita Jeter is not even in the conversation SMH

This message board is easily the worst board for Track and Field. Every good or great performance is viewed with a suspicious eye. I have to conclude that the accusers never made it past high school track and field. They are simply motivated by envy. Whenever I post here, I feel the urge to take a bath in a bucket of bleach. This is definitely the cesspool of track and field discussion.
When there are 3 women running sub 10.7 in one season couple weeks leading up to Olympics, the suspicions are valid. This is Track and Field. Clean athletes should welcome the suspicion and wear it as a badge of honor/
