Breaking: Olympic 100h Champ Brianna Rollins gets 12-month ban for 3 whereabouts violations

The good news is pot is decriminalized and we swept the podium there and my mum saw it with me and if Brianna is gone then we still got gold and silver again. But yeah i think doping corrupts the sport regardless of nationality notwithstanding national hobbies... Too much incentive for people to cheat, like in banking and certain industries. Or like state college athletes philandering.

The rules are clear and to be frank, no one misses three tests.

There are only two conclusions: she is a doper; or she is dumber than pretty much every other athlete subject to this protocol. Take your pick.

In either case she deserves a ban.

I don't disagree with the ban, screwing up 3 times on anything requires consequences. However, I doubt she was doping, PEDs don't help your hurdle technique. Rollins is a world class sprinter, she has more than the requisite flat speed to be a successful hurdler. I actually believe she had smoked pot recently and knew it would be detected.

She should move to a place with few monitors.

I love seeing people get busted. You get what you deserve. If u can't follow the rules then you don't get to play the game sweetheart. Keep posting lies on instagram and twitter and looking for sympathy. You will not be missed. You will forever be remembered as a cheater and your children will know what a POS you are.

An American cheat. I do not trust dirty team USA. Ban the whole country until they get their act together.

See how intelligent I sound?

Take that Dave and Terrie Reading!!!

Hey Brits and Brianna.

Please stop it.

(It doesn't even make any difference that I might be on the wrong thread.)

Pure STUPIDITY. There is no reason to miss a drug test......Unless???

As an Olympic champion with agents, managers, coaches, etc...there is always somebody available and in the know with regard to possible out of competition drug testing. As an athlete you ALWAYS are aware of this and make sure your whereabouts are known.

You moron.

How the hell would the tester get through security without a ticket or boarding pass? Have you ever been to an airport?

I agree and disagree-

PED's not only help physically which include endless hours of technique drills, core work, combined with sprint drills all of which need recovery time but also the mental benefit of feeling strong and confident. Nonetheless, why still dope in September unless either you're afraid there might still be traces of PED's in your system or your smoking a bit of the weed. I'm with coach on this one........KGB all night long.

That's unfair since 2/3rds of USADA/WADA samplers are in Southern California

where Bri lives. If Bri lived out in the boonies she wouldn't get tested as often.

This is completely FALSE.

#1. 2/3rds of USADA/WADA "samplers" are NOT in southern Cal. Not even close. You do realize USADA test athletes in all Olympic sports......not just track and field. You are wrong.

#2. It doesn't matter if you live in the sticks or a big city, the athlete WILL be tested. They will send a DCO anywhere in the world. There is no hiding.

There's a LOT of misinformation in this thread about USADA's whereabouts system.

Blood Test??? Was this conducted in a clinic or hospital? Registered Nurse? Doctor? Just curious because I've been "Out of Competition" tested many times and never had blood drawn.

are you that thick?

If you miss two tests, and you know if there is third miss you will be banned, would you still get on that plane? Her only priority in life at that moment, or for any other moment, was to make sure that she did not miss the third test attempt.

You may want to read the sequence of events in this case. Do you think she blew off her third missed test before running in the Olympics?

That is soo stupid. Why didn't she just say that she was home, but couldn't hear the doorbell?

Maybe she was wondering who's been knocking at my door? 😅

She's smart, and so is her agent. 12 months is a lot worse than the 4 years she would have gotten if she allowed herself to be tested on any of those 3 days

Of course the US has a functioning testing system. Would you like to compare that to a specific country?

Conducted in the athletes hotel room. I have no clue if USADA sends out RNs or MDs.

What you stated just isn't true and i'm wondering if it's intentional.

1) On the day you are talking about, which is the first missed test, they ended up finding her at the airport but she refused to come back through security.

That was missed test #1. She did not tell them it was going to be a "travel" day to Iowa until after they already had contacted her and tried to get her to take a test. She sent the email after everything happened and she already was in Iowa.

Correction: I re-read the report and she did tell them she'd be at Drake before hand but the fact of the matter is she as at the airport with the tester and didn't take the test.

dThey then notified her in writing that it was a missed test and asked for her to respond with any explanation.

In my mind, she possibly did much more than just miss a test as a tester came to the airport and she didn't give them a sample. But even after all of that there was crickets from her. She didn't bother to send them a response.

So she knew damn well in May of last year that she had her first violation. So there is ZERO truth to what you are saying. Plus we are talking about #1 violation not #3.

rojo, girls don't pee in urinals. Most men shouldn't either.
