Duane Ross has some explaining to do. 2nd NC A&T sprinter popped. 1st Duane, then Randolph and now G. Nwokocha is banned by AIU

Could this cost him his job at Tenn?

Not a chance. Think of the sprinters that have come out of TN- Gatlin, Coleman- he’ll fit right in.

I think it demonstrates that doping is more prevalent in college track and field than people want to admit, especially in the sprint disciplines where historically dopers have dominated the sport. There are certain college programs churning out world class track and field athletes that are clearly playing the PED game.

Wow, I did not know this. Quick Google search turned up the following:

U.S. Track & Field Athlete, Duane Ross, Receives Two-Year Suspension From USADA

Hailey Horwath

Duane Ross, an athlete in the sport of track and field, has received a two-year suspension for an anti-doping rule violation.

They will probably give him a raise. Just look at the other schools in the SEC.

People keep getting popped for Ostarine recently despite the fact that it has little to no direct anabolic benefit. They come from a variety of disciplines and sports.

We’ve seen sprinters as in the present case. Sprinter-adjacent - D’Andre Hopkins from the NFL. Ashley Paulson of triathlon and ultra fame.

I think we’re back in the BALCO days where someone’s going to spill the beans and we’ll discover a new cocktail where Ostarine will be a component. IT looks like the people who are getting busted for this are genuinely surprised. We’ll figure out the ingredients of the secret sauce soon.

More likely cross contamination in cheap drug labs, or supplements.

No surprise there. Once a cheat, and then again, and then ...

I firmly believe this was a targeted move. Just like Coleman and Shelby.

wow, this guy is as bent as a five bob note.
lost all his results from 2001 to 2010. he must have been deeply involved in balco.
and yet his wiki page says nothing and he is a director at a university?
no wonder we say that the us has a state sponsored doping programme.
this kind of thing is exactly what we mean. crooks like seb coe are at the bottom of it too.
state sponsored isnt the exact word though (unless oyu are russia); its really just totally ingrained in the psyche of all the athletes, from the old to the young.

Is anyone else wondering why people aren't up in arms about these developments? I think when Duane Ross was banned for his involvement in BALCO we should have questioned the hiring when he arrived at A&T. When his son was banned from competing at Worlds we should have questioned his hiring at UT. Now with a 3rd scandal (that we know about) I think it is appropriate to be discussing this on a national level. But alas, there are 6 people discussing it on a message board. I am not saying it is undeserved but can you imagine what we would be discussing if Schumacher had been banned himself at some point, Shelby banned, and then for fun tack on Woody Kincaid as the 3rd ban (hypothetically). This site would implode.

I am not surprised. We take care of our cheats. Look at Carl Lewis, Mitchell, Drummond, Graham, and of course, Salazar.

Salazar btw tops your hypothetical Schumacher scenario:

Strike 1: he doped himself with testo as an athlete;

strike 2: his pupil Decker get banned for doping with testo;

strike 3: his pupil Farah get flagged as likely blood doper;

strike 4: his pupil Rupp get flagged as likely blood doper;

strike 5: he got banned for administering a forbidden method;

strike 6: he got banned for tampering;

strike 7: he got banned for traficking/possession of testo;

strike 8: he got banned for egregious sexual misconduct.

Schumacher is only at strike 2 (Jager + Houlihan). And yet, lots of people here still defend both Salazar and Schumacher. Doping pays off!

most of them look like theyre roided out of their skulls,so yes,doping is very prevelent .

I understand where you are coming from. Drug cheats tend to get catered to more than I would expect. The disturbing part about this story though is that these are college student-athletes. I can somewhat believe, on a fundamental level, that a professional could go rogue and dope without their coach knowing. But when we are talking about college students, including his family, I just can't believe that Duane Ross wouldn't know. I think this deserves a deep investigation from the NCAA, the AIU, WADA and USADA. I don't think it would be ultra conspiratorial to believe there is more to this than we have been told thus far. I also hope the Brojos or JGault bring the same energy to this that they have done to other dopers in the past.

Investigation, doubt it ........

As someone mentioned,

the apathy of general populace is at peak

25 years ago ,had people trying to call out epo

now nothing,

Mentioned what athletes are using now

emailed wada several times nothing.

Just witnessed a season of doping on newer

Peds like never before

college kids doping ...........

had what 3 teens break 20 seconds in 200m

one kid from Thailand came close .

one teen improved time by nearly a second

Heavy censorship on boards now too,

speaks volumes..

For PED use to take place in college it would require a coach with a connection to that world in order to know what to take, how much, when. If an international gets popped, it can be blamed on the tutelage at home. These kids come ready made. If your own son is suspected of hiding through tampering…

The NCAA is a playground for potential dopers. The testing regime is extraordinarily poor because there's an incentive to not catch anyone doping in the money sports - ask no questions, in case you don't like the answers.

It's time the NCAA accepted AIU oversight or student athletes should be excluded from the Olympics and World Athletics events. If this was any other country, we wouldn't even be having the debate, the federations would just put those national governing bodies into special measures. Instead, they allow the NCAA to operate as a feeezone for potential dopers
