There's evidence with "top tier" distance runners.
Indeed. These guys crack me up. As if doping were the exception, not the rule. Just put your head into the sand, and sing out loud, and all is well.
Dick Pound, ex WADA President:
"you can miss two tests simply by not answering the door if you're on something."
"There is no general appetite to undertake the effort and expense of a successful effort to deliver doping-free sport."
"There's this psychological aspect about it: nobody wants to catch anybody. There's no incentive. Countries are embarrassed if their nationals are caught. And sports are embarrassed if someone from their sport is caught."
Paul Scott, the chief science officer of Korva Labs, a testing and research laboratory focused on anti-doping:
"Drug testing has a public reputation that far exceeds its capabilities."
"Sophisticated dopers have come to understand how to work around the Athlete Biological Passport," he warns. "They have evaluated correctly that they need to pare back taking steroids or EPO and they will still get most of the benefits."
Btw, the oh so bad cycling has 1.0% positive tests, just like the oh so clean IAAF.
Anyone seen the current "anti"doping fight in Germany? Cycling and athletics, both in risk group 1 (yes, that is the group with the most offenders), want to pay less for antidoping controls, because "times have changed". LOL.
