USADA knows who their masters are.
Congrats to Cal!
Hahaha yes, had they only known: no secret massages needed!
If true, this is crossing an important line. If you claim to be transgender, you can get away with taking anabolic steroids. Don’t think other athletes won’t notice.

Will USADA give me a 30 second head start for my ineffective running form?
Not only does Cal have effective running form, he now has high T.
A bloody outrage. If Cal gets high T levels he should be required to heel strike......yes?
Cal is not allowed to compete against women. He's still at a major disadvantage if he chooses to compete against men, no matter how much gear he blasts. The only advantage he has gained for now is over non-binary competitors who have XX chromosomes and female pattern endocrine levels.
Those non-binary competitors are already choosing to compete against other non-binary competitors with male chromosomes and hormones however, so he's not cheating anyone out of anything. This is very different from a Lia Thomas type case.
A little cheating is A-OK!
Rupp looks androgynous anyway. Lol
This is a joke. I identify as Kenyan: can I go full throttle EPO?

🌈 If ya ain't cheating you ain't lying, umm, tryin' !
Isn't there decent money in some of the larger races nowadays for nonbinary? Even if he is competing against mostly xy athletes, he still is more likely to cash in than a lot of xx athletes not on test.
That’s f ucked up. full support for this dude in his journey for a happy life in society, but zero support for usada’s decision to grant a TUE for participation in sanctioned competition beyond “recreational”.
I think Call must have told USADA that Cal identified as testosterone-free. You can't argue with that!
It's fine.
As long as cal doesn't compete against cis women, I don't care.
I don't really understand why they haven't had previous records expunged for not reporting their testosterone use earlier, but whatever.
What I don't care for is Cal's victim mentality, whining about how "invasive" everything was and claiming they were being discriminated against for being trans. no, Cal, you were taking a banned substance you didn't properly report and they aren't just going to take your word for it. They are going to need proof you are trans and you need it.
