Exactly. What I'm trying to say is that the investors in both the drug/steroid and the supplement are one in the same and their "salesman" have the inside info and tell their "clients" to keep this in your medicine cabinet incase you get tested.

During its investigation into the circumstances that led to the positive test, USADA gathered evidence from Cabada and reviewed Cabada’s whereabouts, dietary habits, and the laboratory reports demonstrating very low parts per billion concentrations of the prohibited substance in the athlete’s urine sample. USADA concluded that it was highly unlikely that the presence of clenbuterol in the athlete’s sample resulted from a source other than clenbuterol contaminated meat consumed in Mexico.

Can you see the part about low parts per billion concentrations???

It does not matter if the athlete tries to use the supplement excuse for a positive anabolic steroid test because it will still be a positive test for an anabolic steroid and it does not matter how the anabolic steroid got into the athlete's body.

Congratulations. You are very impressive.

Um can you read?

Athletes aren't punished if they can trace the substance to a supplement or meat.

All they have to do is have one or the other on hand or have proof they ingested them and they get off Scott free. Just like cabada.

Low parts per billion? He took it more than a week before the test.

What a coincidence that a distance runner who has publicly said he needs to slim down gets caught with a drug in his system that does exactly that.

What a coincidence that his biggest rival who he cannot beat is one of the skinniest in the sport.

Why hasn't Jager also been caught with this? Oh because he is already skinny. lolololol.

Seriously, Clen has huge benefit to distance runners. Also since when do cattle get pumped with Clen???

This shouldn't be a surprise. Cattle have been getting pumped full of drugs for a long time. If you are a cattle farmer raising cows for beef, you want them to get as big as possible as quick as possible.

No it's in the grass those cattle are innocent!

Trace eliments in meat may be proven. That causing a human positive unlikely. All the meat is pumped how come all meat eaters don't fail tests. The testing authorities are gullible and have a long history of accepting bs cover stories

Coach Simmons stopped working with Fernando years ago because Fernando was not ethical and Scott thought it would come back on him.

He received a one year ban, which was the maximum amount for that drug, according to USADA's UFC policy.

By missing 2-3 fights because of the ban, losing tens of millions of dollars.

How is that Scott free?

Indeed. Contador didn't get away with that lame excuse, because it went to CAS instead of getting "resolved" by his own NADO.

Lots of more cases listed here:

Come on people, Clenbuterol is widely used in endurance sports to get as slim as possible.

Alberto Contador was busted for it and served a 2 year ban. His excuse was the same - tainted beef.

Jon Jones did not get busted "doing roid", the supplement did not have "trace amounts of steroids" and he did not get off.

You are wrong 3 times in one sentence.

Congratulations LetsRun.com poster.

He tested positive for the selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) clomiphene (Clomid) and he tested positive for the aromatase inhibitor letrozole.

Both drugs should not be in supplements and both drugs are banned.

He tried to use the supplement excuse and received a one year ban.

It looks like he has also tested positive for marijuana and cocaine with USADA in the past.

This guy is a real winner.

UFC is a total joke…just like you.

This debate (here and other places) is interesting.

First, if you read the statement from USADA, it was convinced that it was inadverdent and that the levels were incredibly low.

Second, why would USADA have a cover up over a low level national class runner. Not like it is Rupp or Meb or Flanagan.

There is also the matter of fairness. Yes, it is easier to have a 0 tolerance policy as it does not require anyone to think. But odd things do happen and apparently there was enough evidence for USADA to make a judgment call.

I like that there is a potential for doing the right thing.

No.

You are wrong again.

Your brain is completely full of sh*t.

Have a nice day.

The human body removes clen from its system in a short period of time. So when he got tested it was probably when his body haf it almost completely cleared from his system and that's why it was maybe showing as 1 part per trillion

Why report it if there was no guilt?

He is actually guilty. Athletes should know what they are consuming. Just like date rape victims should know what their drink was spiked with

This doesn't surprise me from the stories I've heard. From high school to pulling a knife on a guy at a party at Arkansas to now...

Just another Brad Hudson coached athlete with a positive test.

Frequent marathoner/road racer, Mary Akor, also tested positive for clenbuterol at a race in Mexico, although she didn't get off scot-free and had to serve the 2 yr ban. This is after rumors for years of doping and cheating. USADA likely had whistleblowing info on her and didn't let her off. Ironically, it looks like she just won the same marathon in Dec. where she was caught doping in 2012.

Has Cabada actually been rumored to dope? Never heard it. His fire comes from within. Avoiding the meat in Mexico and China is part of USADA's athlete education.

Cabada would be faster if he actually doped
