American sprinter Gabrielle Thomas's provisional suspension for allegedly failing to make herself available for anti-doping tests has been lifted, the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) said on Friday.
she got off on a technicality. the ones loudest about being anti-dopers are often the dopers themselves. she wants to advocate for a black and white rule, then why did she go to the AIU to attempt to abdicate herself from the whereabouts failures. there should be no reason you miss 3 tests in a year and she did.

This doesn't say anything definitively about whether she was doping or not. I'm sure she's more likely to know the answer to that than us - also the idea that she would be doping whilst an irrelevant 22 mid runner and nearly get suspended then AFTER getting cleared somehow evade testing enough to dope to 21.6 level without even being a high profile name (and hence protected) yet is funny

Not even a technicality. She got off because some of her friends vouched that they were at home with her, and the doorbell never rang. And her phone was close by too. Nice blueprint for all the test dodgers.

That said, I fully agree with that tweet.
How would the proximity of the mobile phone enter into any of it? The doping control officer is not required to ring an athlete’s mobile when attempting to conduct an out of competition test.

From the cited link: "Phone tracking data and multiple witnesses will conclusively show that I was at the exact location I established in my whereabouts and that the doping control officer simply failed to locate me and failed to follow proper protocol," Thomas said in the statement.

Michael Johnson in his BBC broadcasting days... Carl Lewis talking about Ben Johnson...
It is funny because as a Havard grad you might be inclined to think she'd understand the tone-deafness in her speaking out on this topic - irrespective of what the truth really is. It's just something you personally shouldn't be addressing given your history Gabby.
Final thought. Does this also include guys that were doping but "just didn't know they were" - it was all their big bad coaches fault, but as soon as they felt something was up they quickly went and reported it in exchange for immunity from a ban? Or are they still allowed to coach too?

Tone deafness to who? LR posters? You're opinion is completely worthless and it's really sad and pathetic that you think people are thinking about you when they make statements like this.

Being able to dope for 12 months while skipping all drug tests is why this 22 mid runner ended up running 21.6 very shortly after.
Yep. The white knighting to defend this awful woman is quite telling. Her being so tone deaf proves brains weren’t involved in her getting into college, never mind the arrogance involved in her handlers tactics in thinking this was a good idea. Don’t believe that they weren’t involved, they were.

The above doesn’t factor in tests conducted by other organisations during that time.
