No suspension? Contaminated meat? WTF?? Ridiculous double standards. If this was a Russian they would have had her head on a platter!

Maybe, but in their statement USADA mentioned "low parts per billion". We're not talking about someone doped up like Carrie Fisher.

She tested positive for zeranol, assumed to be from contaminated meat. So no suspension, but the record is gone.

Does Lipsey get it?
Seriously, why is crap like zeranol legal to put in meat?
Another example of the old saying " if it seems too good to be true, it probably isn't !" I saw this coming for awhile.
Is it true? Tainted beef?
Yeah, right.

Get out of here. There was a SMALL trace of it detected, which is why she wasn't banned. It was basically too small of an amount to skew her performance, but at the same time IAAF has to go by the rules of the book.
There are cases ( and will be cases) where athletes will accidentally ingest a substance that is banned. There are hundreds of substances that are on IAAF's banned substance list ( and some shouldn't even be on there), so being aware and making sure not to take anything that is illegal has to be a nightmare for clean athletes....Taking an OTC drug for a headache or a cold is not so simple for an athlete as it is for a regular citizen.
In one sense, it's a good sign that testing is this good to pick up something so minimal. But on the other hand, there's nothing to see here. Clearly this says more about food standards in the United States than it does about PEDs. Zeranol is banned in livestock in the EU, and probably for good reason. Clearly she is being tested quite often and in this case, that record (clean the week before) and her wisdom to keep receipts benefited her. Truly a classy athlete doing things the right way. I wish her nothing but the best.

It's crazy with the agri lobby gets away with in the US.
Can someone tell me what a US athlete is supposed to do if our beef supply is tainted?
Here is the USADA press release.

No. She's been injured and had surgery after indoors.
Buy beef with no hormone's added if you're worried.
Eat organic, free range beef?

Tainted beef ... sure.

Exactly. If this was a Russian it would be a government conspiracy, and them pretending to have no part in it, but here in the good ol' USA, it's okay, nothing to see here folks. Those Russians must have tampered with the beef supplies.
The drug testing hypocrisy is a sham.
The best thing to do is get rid of all drug testing completely.
In the work place is maybe okay, but not for athletics.

What do Russian athletes do when their food is tainted??????

Which is great if you cook your own food, but if you are an athlete travelling around the country, eating in airports and restaurants, that's not very realistic.
