I agree with you that Tygart is right about the need for WADA Code reform. Artificially removing any benefit of the doubt, for the sake of convenience of anti-doping prosecutions, leads to railroading athletes to 4-year bans, as if they were considered intentional cheaters.
Thanks for your support.
No, I pointed out that there is a difference in an athlete saying they did not know where the drug came from and the truth.
Since when did an athlete ever admit to doping.
Keep supporting your cheats
Why are you talking about supporting cheats and dopers? Here I was supporting Tygart and the 27 athletes since 2015 that were ruled as innocent.
Whatever difference you wanted to point out, your corrected quote included "Tygart is right that the WADA Code railroads athletes to 4-year bans, by removing any benefit of the doubt ...."
So if WADA and the AIU can catch Kenyans, why are they not able to catch Ethiopians?
It’s athletics is government regimented (unlike Kenya), with significant political undertones. Spend time in Addis, Sululta, etc. You will begin to hear what really is going on, positive coverups amongst it all. If only 10% of the rumor and innuendo is true, then it’s truly a dirty and filthy place.
Ethiopia has had autocratic government for decades. At least Kenya is fairly democratic (on the 'Democracy Index', Ethiopia is at 123 with Russia one place behind, and Kenya is at number 93). The 'natural born runner' myth has been promoted by various Ethiopian governments and even before it was a thing in Kenya. The first East African star Bikila could have been written by a Hollywood scriptwriter, running barefoot to victory in the streets of Rome almost exactly 25 years after Italy had conquered Ethiopia. Before his victory, he was already a personal bodyguard to the emperor (the same one who Mussolini conquered). Anyone who thinks he wasn't doped to the max is naieve in the extreme.
The GDR actually modelled their system on that of the Ethiopians. Straub, Beyer, and the other dopers would train in Ethiopia, and Yifter and the Ethiopians would train with them in the GDR. I've made threads on this and every time the moderators delete them for whatever strange reason.
Everything about the athletics system in Kenya is chaotic. In Ethiopia, it's always been the reverse.
Plus the sheer size and number of remote training locations in Ethiopia. There's a reason doorbell Mo and others have it as their preferred full throttle hide out.
And now there is a WADA lab in Nairobi, but not sure it does much good as regards testing in Ethiopia.
These are just your fantasies. The dumbest thing I can imagine would be to fall for them.
If she knew perfectly well what they were, she wouldn't have one-time ingested such a small quantity -- it's all risk with no benefit.
She didn't do it one time. She only got caught once.
Or she accidentally and unknowingly ingested it once, and was just unable to identify and prove the source one month after the fact. The available facts and evidence are not conclusive.

Yes, they are. On the grounds of probability she intentionally doped, as CAS concluded. So a 4 year ban. You live in the realm of merely fanciful "possibilities".

Why do you continue to lie; you know full well she was not convicted of doping.

27 athletes weren't ruled as innocent by WADA - their so-called innocence is merely a claim by Tygart. It hasn't been endorsed by WADA.
Tygart has lost credibility as an antidoping official, as he is more concerned with trying to reduce the standing of WADA than catch dopers. His mealy-mouthed defence of Houlihan has shown that. Ego has trumped judgment and integrity.
You require a Doctorate to understand the banned list. Have to read it?
Liar soorer - back with your weird delusions. If it requires a doctorate to understand the banned list then no athletes would use the drugs on the list. But they do. In considerable numbers.
No; you go into a gym and find out what they are taking, no doctorate needed.

The 27 decisions said they did not cheat , ie non intentional convictions.

Tucker said that he did not know if SH cheated.
They were not WADA approved decisions. They come from Tygart. He is a doping defender now.
