Yeah, but a formal "announcement" doesn't mean there's a formal procedure to be removed from their out-of-competition pool. Not sure who to blame here, but glad USATF/USADA has their s*** together (for once!) on retirement procedures.
False. You leave the registered testing pool by filling out a page available on his ADAMS login.
Well said. Thank you for exposing the truth.
It is absolutely true that the "morally superior" Rojo has a case of duplicity going on.

Where does it say that it is not allowed? One isn't allowed to call the athlete ahead of time, for obvious reasons, but when the athlete does not respond to the doorbell, the phone is the next step (along with shouting and knocking). See for example the Rollins case.
The Rollins case was also wrong .
Ukad allows a single call at the end of an attempt to test .
Was this a one hour slot notified test ?
If not then the athlete has no obligation to actually be in when the tester calls .
If it was a one specified hour test then he would have had to fill Adams in and as such would not have pre informed that he had retired.
Either way something does not make sense.

Why do people always start going on about politics when the people they are talking about are practically politically neutral?
Half the people being talked about are either minors or people who can't vote.
Is there some need to advertise that you recently took a class on politics and want to wave your new knowledge around?
I was under the stark impression that we were discussing "vibey $hit" o'lionaird. Ciaran is not "practically political neutral" or a minor. His twitter has been filled with political statements over the years- both Irish AND American politics. I feel bad for the guy. It seems he's struggling a bit to find his identity in life. We've all been there. Fortunately, none of us were being critiqued on an internet discussion forum.
He also defended Mo and Salazar.
