Consider the NOP scandal. USADA and their UK equivalent both asked WADA to ban or restrict thyroid medication like cytomel. WADA flat out refused. Most people who are legitimately hypothyroid will have a familial history, ans it is mostly genetic. For example, my wife, who was a varsity tennis athlete, has Hasimoto\'s; So does her aunt and her sister. It would be easy to clear people for a TUE for family history. But the head of WADA essentially rejected it out of hand.
Another example is the unwillingness to open the frozen samples for Farah and test them--and also Bolt, Blake, etc. as Conte said. Too many skeletons in the closet.
Another example is the deafening silence from both IAAF and WADA about the document shown on the ARD documentary, with Nike putting money into a bribe fund, and corrupt Kenyan officials taking large amounts of money out.
The real rot is at the top, with people like Diack, Coe, the people running WADA. The athletes are just trying to make a living, and enough will do whatever is necessary that you have to do it too.
What I\'m afraid of now is that Charlie\'s quote isn\'t true any more. Some athletes have things like the Nike Drug Lab or governments not willing to conduct our of competition tests. And I think athletes with Nike or Jamaica have an unfair advantage....even if you have a source for testosterone PEDs.
