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.
Show me a protein OTC shake with SARMs in it though.
OTC = Oregon Track Club

If this substance is more for lifting / bodybuilding, then this bust & banning of a guy at the end of his distance running career is pretty pointless.. just stupid, actually. It makes the entire process look bad, imo.
Ostarine benefits
The benefits of ostarine have been compared to anabolic steroids.
Ostarine has a high oral bioavailability which makes it a preferable
option to many who are not comfortable or confident self-injecting.
Ostarine has shown the ability to increase muscle and decrease fat mass
simultaneously (recomposition).
Increased lean muscle mass
Increased bone density
Apparent decreased body fat from improved body composition
Strength and performance gains
Improved recovery120 -

Improved recoveryThank you for this. Seriously. It's been educational for me. Others clarified for me that Ostarine could benefit endurance athletes, but your detailed list spells it out even more. Thanks again.

Best SARMs for Endurance
#1 Ostarine
Most certainly, Ostarine
(MK-2866) is one of the most well-known and used SARMs that appears on
top of most lists. It has a very good reason to have that ranking. It
has the most clinical research to support its effects along with tons of
anecdotal evidence that confirms its ability to enhance endurance,
muscle growth, and strength. It is the best sarm for endurance.90 -

Does ostarine actually help with running fast? There should be witnesses about whether Mead's been doing nothing but lifting since June. And they should link the drink.I'm calling straight BS on that lame excuse for an excuse. That's even lamer than an offal burrito
I don't have pity for him even if this excuse is true, but his excuse is nothing like Shelbo's. Testing positive for something from a supplement that wasn't properly vetted is an entirely plausible scenario, unlike Shelbo's magical burrito. I'm not defending him, but at least he respects us enough to give a plausible excuse unlike Shelbo who came out with the most nonsensical lie imaginable.

I get this. I don't like it when my kids lie to my face, but it really pisses me off if they don't even bother to bring their A game. Disrespect on top of disrespect.

It's always Nike, it is always Bowerman and Oregon track athletes
Every runner that is connected to this organization that are having breakout season despite being slow as fvcxk years ago IS DOPING.
Chris Solinsky got away with it. That dude was doping to the gills.

Not like that, that's for sure. What do you think he did for our military except being window dressing for purpose of getting citizenship? And the hope hes another vote for democrats.
So you're saying the medals and titles he stole from actual and non doping American runners is something good that he did for our country? Goddamn. Nothing more disgusting than you vile slime, you poison of a nation. Shame on you. Pathetic
What’s wrong with you?

i just wish he or one of these guys would tell the truth
yeah, still waiting for a runner or cyclist to just come out and say, "we pretty much all do it"
This is effectively what ended up happening to Lance and his contemporaries. Not a whole lot of them will say “I was the clean one”.
The problem is though — and why you‘re unlikely to see it happen again — is these guys have nothing to gain from saying “we pretty much all do it” even if they have been caught themselves.
They still have to go on living their lives, and most of their friends/social circle are involved in the sport. So they’re thinking about the consequences if throwing their friends under the bus. And for what? All it would do is disenfranchise the people they’ve spent a lot of their lives around.
Point being, it’s very unlikely anybody comes out and says “yep we were all dirty” even after getting popped unless there is some sort of massive financial incentive etc.

All the good explanations have been said. I don't know if you were alive during late '90's and '00's. M.L.B. & N.F.L. players were blaming supplements & vitamins companies for their positive tests. Supplements & vitamins companies told everyone who would listen that they would be ruined in civil court if supplements & vitamins were named. M.L.B. & N.F.L. players routinely blamed one company. Can't do that anymore. Did you notice that no specific supplements & vitamins company was named.

SARMS are easy to get via the interweb. Hell, they were selling them on Ebay until around 2017. SARMS are definitely not heavy drugs. If PEDs were allowed in professional sports, I doubt many, or any, would take SARMS. AAS, HGH and good ole testosterone would be far better options.
Sure but again they aren't in random supplements. You are intentionally seeking them out. Maybe the agent isn't intentionally trying to mislead people but he didn't pick some random protein powder up and test positive. We are talking about seeking out grey zone drugs that are explicitly banned from supplements...
Again whose first action when starting a new activity is to start ingesting random chemicals that aren't approved for human consumption? My bet would be the guy who has been doing that for a long time...

Do you acknowledge that Mead should not have this tag to his name inferring that he doped during his running career? if you don’t, then it appears that you have an agenda but we already know this from your posts.
Chris Chavis has extremely small hands
