Two-time Olympic 200 champ Veronica Campbell-Brown has reportedly tested positive for a diuretic

This is really poor reasoning. It's common for people to travel across the WORLD for a specific doctor to dope

Cute.

Now, have you read up enough of the world opinions on thyroid conditions enough to learn that seeing an expert who does more thorough testing might be a very important thing?

ADuck

they tested a few samples from thousands and busted a few nobodies

if they busted all the peds users there'd be no sport left

they know that

they just level the playing field a little with the passport

and a bust here and there like the jamaican when things get out of control

and 99% keep doping like nothin happened

writin a letter wont change that buddy

Surprises me that LRC would normally rail on this announcement and now use the term reportedly ?

She got busted , if there was even a slight chance she was not guilty or a mistake was made this announcement would have never been released.

Its warning shot for world champs that "they" are watching , IAAF wants a clean world champs. Jamaica is a dirty camp without question. What shall be interesting is how they now preform knowing the scrutiny being placed on them.

johnson looked like a doper

lewis the clean hero was pointin the finger at him

they took him out

everybody knows they got a problem in jamaica with ooc testing

they take down 1 VCB

Johnson was so doped the whites of his eyes had turned yellow.

Everyone knew he was doped before the Olympics.

He got taken down because he was guilty, and it was obvious as well.

"Now, have you read up enough of the world opinions on thyroid conditions enough to learn that seeing an expert who does more thorough testing might be a very important thing?"

lol

is Dr Brown

a) a world renowned medical expert on thyroid problems

or

b) a doctor who is willing to issue TUEs to the athletes

who ask for them

Listen, just stop posting, you are stoned or something.

You clearly don't know anything about thyroid and how it is tested for, controversies in testing methods, I've freaking read up a ton on it and it is still too hard to explain...but what is clear is that there is controversy over how to test for it. Issues like some doctors don't care what time of day you do the test, others say it must be done at a certain time of day, others say over a period of days, others at certain intervals after exercise etc. etc. etc.

And you don't need a TUE for thyroid meds, so just jive it up and go get yourself some food.

Guys, relax.

She tested for a diuretic, not for a performance enhancing drug.

Hope Solo tested for a diuretic, came up with some stupid menstruation excuse and did not receive a ban.

This will be the same.

hey ADuck

how many NOP athletes have thyroid

or they keepin that a secret

Bolt was also world class as a junior, but has that stopped you from claiming that he is drugged? All the Kenyans and Ethiopians top runners were champions as juniors in their age groups, has that stopped you from claiming they are dopped? No, So Allyson Felix like the rest is drugged. Man,look at her jaw, do not be blind

0/10

Allyson was literally elite after her first track practice. She's probably the most talented woman ever.

Does she look clean to you???

She does not look any different to any of the others, actually less muscular than a lot

World Youth Champion as well

I'm still interested to know how Bolt goes from 9.95 tying up and out of breath to 19.79 in 1 wk

Campbell-Brown was world youth champion and Jones was always top-level means nothing

Brojos get ad revenue from Puma. They are Jamaican fanboys and are scared of losing $$$. Their "anti-drug crusade" is a complete farce.

i notice how mr NOP fanboy ADuck skips things he don like

and calls people stoned instead of arguin the point

Well Puma outfits the Jamaican team, and while VCB is an adidas athlete....perhaps the Brojo's are treading lightly on this one for fear of turning off Puma to another nice Puma pay day for LRC.

Yes, it just seems like our beloved brojos are taking this a bit lightly.

'there are a few possible explanations I need before judgement; she could have taken something not labelled correctly; accidently taken something carelessly; had it passed '

I can guarantee she will claim one of those, the only question is if someone is gullible enough to believe it

Well, there's some good stuff in this thread, and some total b.s.

VCB is nothing to global t&f. No woman is, with the possible exception of Vlasic, and maybe now a Russian hottie or two, or Lolo for a couple of minutes.

There is Bolt, and nobody else. Everybody else, globally, is just an extra--they might have regional interest, but they are expendable.

Everybody is expendable except Bolt, and maybe Blake, depending on what Blake knows and what he is willing to do with that knowledge.

Everything I have said continues to be true. I don't say this as a boast, I say it because of that old saying, those without a knowledge of history are doomed to repeat it. I'm just trying to pass on some knowledge of that history, and what it might mean in the present day environment.

This is a sad day. It is likely that, as someone upthread said, she will receive a slap on the wrist--they won't want to piss her off too much.

No doubt she was using, no doubt she was masking. I do believe that she has put up some amazing clean times in her career.

It is a sad day, but I think it's worth carrying on with t&f. We have all sorts of nationals coming up, and at least the men's sprint times look more realistic this year.

People like you make our sport sick.

This is reality. I don't like it. Cheating is so rampant in our sport that to win an Olympic medal YOU MUST use PEDs.

That level of the sport is dominated by PED use.

It's the same thing in EVERY sport. Top 10 in Tour de France is the same thing.

Period, end of discussion.

not at all true. There are many cheats who haven't been caught, some who never will, but most athletes don't cheat.

"VCB is expendable, like everyone in the sport save one and half men, but they won't want to piss her off too much"

You should write horoscopes.

Don't know about a slap on the wrist. She is THE most decorated Jamaican female athlete) (medal count so she's not going to be treated lightly. She could have stayed away from such an unimportant event if she knew she was doping so it might very well be something she ingested. Let see where the investigation leads.
