Did you ever use a banned method, like blood doping to trigger ABP?
It is interesting how we all wordsmith these things.
Jager did say, "I have never and will never break or try to bend an anti-doping rule." which I think encompasses all things. It leads no room for error. "What I'm doing is above board" is how I read it. No "gray area".
His whole statement sounds so much like Lance Armstrong.
I thought the opposite. He didn't use the Lance, "I've never failed a drug test." He didn't get angry.
I've very used to people getting angry when I ask them these type questions. Doesn't necessarily mean anything one way or the other but I thought his response was very different than Lance or Carmelita Jeter's or Regina Jacob's.
He said while the IAAF determine nothing happened he's disappointed he's lost people's trust.
Evan didn't blast people for putting him on the list. He said he was surprised to see himself on a list.
I feel like Lance would fixate one one or two technicalities that might not be true. Jager did go searching to see what happened with his drug test that day and then discover he didn't think he had one, but was open to the possibility he had one. Sort of like, "trying to figure this out."
Here's Lance: "If you're trying to hide something, you wouldn't keep getting away with it for 10 years. Nobody is that clever."
May 2011: "Twenty-plus-year career, 500 drug controls worldwide, in and out of competition. Never a failed test. I rest my case."
June 2012: "I have never doped … I have competed as an endurance athlete for 25 years with no spike in performance, passed more than 500 drug tests and never failed one."
https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2013/jan/18/lance-armstrong-doping-denials-quotesLook obviously this is going to get a lot of and should get a lot of scrutiny and we all have to be open the possibility athletes are doping especially if you're on that list.
The IAAF needs to get people to believe in its anti-doping system. Considering it's past, I can see why many people don't.
Having said that I also know the Russians (Fancy Bears) want you to believe the system is just stacked against them and not other stars when in reality they were the ones abusing the system for years.
