I think Asinga being a literal high-schooler until a couple months ago caught doping in the US is pretty unique. That part is the bombshell because he's not even pro yet.

We already had that decades ago with Marion Jones while still in high school. And Gatlin was 19 when he was popped for the first time. But yes, there are still people here who keep claiming that there is no doping in high schools, so this but might help. Surely Assinga didn't just test positive yesterday and during his first use.
He should have stuck to pharma bovine blood extracts and hiding a 2/3 o2 gas, 1/3 n2 inhaler prior to the start of the race… why role the die with GW-501516?

Your skepticism is fair. Gatlin was for Adderall correct? That's a little different. Marion Jones no question about it. I'd still call this suspension surprising, but maybe you are correct in that it shouldn't be. His improvement was massive and he basically professionalized his whole senior year down to the races he did, the school he attended and apparently the doping involved.
18-year-old Issam Asinga, who two weeks ago became the youngest man in history to break 10 seconds for 100m, has been provisionally suspended one week before the start of the World Championships. https://t.co/4TgbrnSXGa
His times were unbelievable and now we know why. This is, I believe, the youngest famous track athlete to be caught doping since the ex-Moroccan Qatari youth who ran 3:50 for the mile at 17.
