Yep, because steroids don't help you recover faster, therefore not allowing you to get in another or a prolonged practice session, which will not help you hone your precision. Also, I can't imagine why any tennis player would want an extra 5 mph on their serve.

Which means she didn't enhance her athletic performance at all, as cocaine is way too short-lived to be a useful PED except during the event. This is anti-doping's true roots, they started out as drug prohibition morality police first. The stuff about fair competition came later.
If you read their rationale for banning xenon gas, you'll find they admit there's no evidence it's a PED. They simply allege that it's dangerous on the grounds that it's a gas and some other gases are dangerous.
Plus it gives them decision making power, over who gets banned and who gets the medals.
Wonder if Regina George also got a knock on the door:

U mad?
What a joke USADA is.
Tyson Gay CHEATS with drugs INTENDING TO ENHANCE PERFORMANCE and gets a shorter ban than someone doing coke recreationally? Maybe if USADA focused less on wasting time with this crap and spent more energy on real drug cheats, the sport wouldn't be such a cesspool of PEDs.
This^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 100%
An athlete that has won a few US titles, been on a few US teams, has tested clean at each of them, and she gets damn near two years for a recreational drug?
Sounds like USADA used her as an 'example'. For the rest of her career, she'll be labeled a 'cheater'. That, my friends, is criminal.
Yayo is bad news. I'm lucky to be alive.

You are wrong. When the powers-that-be finally started testing in the 70's, they were testing for steroids and stimulants. Mostly because some of today's popular drugs were either not available or invented (EPO, darbypoetin) or just not used yet. Many different steroids and cortisone were heavily used (I know this because it was published in interviews - people spoke openly about it in TaFNews).
They were not spending money to conduct drug testing to curb steroid use for morality reasons. You are just making that up.
Read through this just a little bit:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doping_in_sport#East_GermanyDo you think that drugs were tested for "drug prohibition morality police first" ?
Also, xenon doping is not a myth. Who are "they" when you say "they" admit there is "no evidence it's a PED"

You have never played tennis have you? You might have a point if you had used archery or marksmanship, but even those sports have drugs that help with performance A LOT.
They started in 1968 with narcotics and amphetamines, under pressure from a drug-phobic 60's public and a few high-profile deaths. One of the first olympic doping bans was for alcohol. They knew about steroids and didn't care, because steroids weren't something that could kill you. They weren't the "bad" drugs that hippies used.
They weren't spending money for steroid testing at all, not until 1976, eight years after testing started. It took 8 years for it to be anything but drug-war crap.
You could have saved yourself some embarrassment if you'd known testing started in the 60's...
The USADA and WADA, that's who.
http://www.usada.org/potentially-dangerous-class-substances-added-2014-wada-prohibited-list/"No credible scientific studies have proven that Xenon is a safe or effective way to enhance performance by increasing Hypoxia-Inducible Factor (HIF) stability in humans."
They go on to imply that inert, non-toxic noble gas xenon is dangerous because toxic gases like carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulfide are dangerous. They go into great detail about the effects of hydrogen sulfide. I guess we better stop athletes from using xenon or they'll move on to the harder stuff.
okay, resumé some t&f cases in the last months:
Trafeh: EPO possesion (no aaf-test I presume) 4 years (48months)
Gay: aaf on T and H use, uses several months, coöperates (but unclear what this is): 1 year (12 months)
Drummond: supplies PED: 8 years (96 months)
McPherson: cocaïne aaf, admits; 21 months.
Spearmon: prohib. substance medicine, doc prescription admits: 3 months
USADA should explain better why Gay, who admitted to have used multiple prohibited substances (let alone the HGH possesion before 2012), gets away with only a year sanction.

So after getting out of jail she celebrated with cocaine, tested positive, and forfeited her 2014 title. It's hard for me to understand how she could be so disciplined in part of her life, and so undisciplined in other parts.
