What is up with pro runners always taking all these supplements and shots anyways. If you're going to doctors and getting all sorts of pills and injections that your coach tells you to get then you shouldn't be too surprised when something comes up. Unless you're getting actual medicine or giving blood there shouldn't be any needles. Any whatever happened to eating FOOD, getting your rest, training hard, and staying focused? Healthy food >>>> pills/shots.

The athlete is responsible for what goes into their body. Plain and simple and final.
I sort of agree, but only for real PEDs. You can't dish out lifetime bans for simple "stimulants" that are found in countless foods and supplements without proper labeling unless it's an amount that couldn't possibly be due to normal consumption. Caffeine is a powerful stimulant but the threshold for what constitutes an illegal amount is about what, 6-8 cups of coffee in 4 hours or so? I wouldn't give a lifetime ban for that, but a brief suspension is certainly reasonable. For anabolic steroids, yes, one strike and you're out.
