Federal authorities charged a Florida man Tuesday with providing banned substances to an athlete in a case involving the 45-month doping ban handed to Olympic sprinter Marvin Bracy-Williams last year.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Orlando announced the indictment of Paul Askew of Jacksonville for violating the Rodchenkov Act, a law enacted in 2020 that allows U.S. authorities to prosecute doping crimes involving international events.
Prosecutors said Askew could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted.
I love it.
Make people fear handing out PEDs.
But it also made me think it's a joke that you need this Reading that struck me it's quite sad we need the "Rodchenkov Act" to treat doping seriously. Why is doping in international sports the only thing we treat seriously. The NFL has BILLIONS. The NCAA millions. Why don't they get serious about doping?
It's definitely going on at the NCAA level. These larger sport organizations need to fund enforcement at the lower levels and we need prison sentences to be possible for HS, NCAA and NFL doping.
