USADA again testing Galen Rupp the most

Pointless to test Rupp so much for all the TUEs he has for the drugs he's on.

USADA is not independent of USATF. USATF controls what USADA does. For instance, who drags us into for samples? a USATF chaparrone, who is typically affiliated with an NCAA track team. Who schedules our tests? a very nice woman who works for USATF (we all like her personally). Who interprets results? USADA clinicians. It's the same at pro sports, NCAA, etc. Fran Tarkenten just said so on TV last week.

USADA drags it's feet by charter. I.E. USADA was not created to catch drug cheats, rather, USADA was created to teach people how to take PEDS, HPGH, pain killers, etc. and get away with it.

Rumors are Rupp and others are taking designer PEDS or undiscovered PEDS not on the banned list. Many pros inject near-fatal amounts of pain killers so they can train until their limbs break. Horses in particular.

Bottom line, until there is independent testing, and rapid incorporation of designer/exotic PEDS, doping will continue.

Rumors from who? Anthony Famiglietti? That guy more or less accuses EVERYONE who runs faster than him of doping...

Yes, we know Setya is an uber-Rupp fanboi. His precious cannot be accused of doing naughty drugs.

I know for a fact that a former coach and a former athlete from NOP has gone to USATF with details about how Rupp has been using. Both were told the same thing. "we'll check into it"

Why would they go to USATF?

For direction. I understand that both are being naïve.

Perhaps they most likely test him the most since he is the best distance runner on the planet right now?

I don't think he has failed any tests like Lagat has?

is Augustine Choge, the all-around greatest from 800 to 5000. Only man ever to run sub 1:45, sub 3:30, sub 7:30 AND sub 12:55. How many of those has Rupp got? Hint: it starts with "Z."

Rupp is a white boy. The white boy testers would never intentionally contaminate a Rupp sample, and accidentally release the faked results, as they did you non-white boy, Lagat.

My question isn't why Rupp was tested most out of all track athletes (he is the best distance runner at 10k), but why was justin gatlin, with the biggest cloud over his head as he is setting 12 year old PR's , was only tested 5 times in 3 months? The past 3 months was mid summer, when these athletes should be getting tested the most, and to see him in the final DL with double wins, and find out that USADA only tested him 5 times?

What a joke, I guess USADA doesn't want to catch him for a third time and make the sport look too bad.

And then Tyson Gay, who just came off his 1 year ban (which was a joke, glad he had to give his London medal back) but was only tested 3 times in 3 months??? The dude failed a test a year before, and once he gets to compete again, in the first three months he gets only 3 tests by people who busted him the first time.

Sad to see.

I know for a fact that he is clean and the hundreds of tests that WADA and USADA have done on him back my facts up, where as your so called fact is just rumors by lowlife scum like yourself (fact).

And don't give the same old garbage that Lance Armstrong never got caught. He did. I'm sure the Brojos will come on here and spin this and say Wallace Spearmon didn't get caught until the 3rd time. Fact: Wallace Spearmon got caught. Fact: Tyson Gay got caught. Fact: Marion Jones got caught. It goes on and on. If you cheat, you will get caught eventually - and the testing is much more sophisticated now. But go on thinking USADA and WADA are light years behind the cheaters. They want you to believe that for two reasons: 1) The cheaters will think they're safe, when they're not and 2) USADA and WADA will get more funding from the USOC and IOC if they say they are being outpaced by the cheaters.

Typical lambs of Letsrun. You're conviced that Rupp and Centro are dirty but you would be shocked, shocked! if Huddle, Simpson or Jäger were dirty. They are all clean by the way. Now go to bed.

Especially when you count how many times he is tested at Nike HQ to ensure that he passes USADA and WADA tests.

So, you're the in-house Nike tester who makes sure Rupp passes all his tests. You'll be caught one day.

USADA again testing Galen Rupp the most

What a crock. That's like saying Clayton Kershaw is being tested for PEDS by MLB.

Does getting tons of blood taken from you for testing purposes negatively impact health and training? Setting aside practicalities of anti-doping measures for a second, having blood taken from the body in a life of limited opportunities, time, etc. is not preferred to keeping it , right? It seems to me, in blood draws for all sorts of applications, blood isn't utilized as efficiently as it could (doing other tests of value--notwithstanding their expense). Might also be a source of performance inequity/unfairness.

The reason for all the testing is to have enough samples to establish trends. If something changes at some point in time, and something is not longer used, it will show up on the trend line.

Unfortunately for the USADA, Rupp started long ago, and old samples are long ago worthless. If there is anything to see it will show up on the back end of Rupp's career. So, if Rupp was using and his bio-passport was flat-lining, he would have to keep using long after he stopped competing, at least until the USADA got tired of testing him.

USADA claims to test people and location randomly. That is a LIE!

Patrick Rizzo get's tested randomly, for about the last 5 or 6 years.

Many USATF championship races get chosen as a "random" test , but some have been used for 7 or even 8 years in a row. Yet others are rarely chosen. All a cheater would need to for success is to look at USADA's schedule of appearances for the past five years, and with a high probability, they could just show up at the races USADA did not choose. Because they clearly have "favorite" places. whether the testers prefer certain towns, or the people in their office at Colorado Springs feel that some places are better than others. Who knows?

One thing has become very clear. their definition of "random" is not the same definition as read in a wikipedia , dictionary or thesaurus.
