https://www.letsrun.com/news/2019/09/why-was-christian-coleman-cleared-we-explain-everything-you-need-to-know-about-his-usada-case/Thanks for the update, Wejo. This is a bit crazy. So Coleman is getting off because the DCO was 1 minute outside (8:01am) the one hour testing window on June 6, 2018?! ??♂️
And apparently April 1, 2018 to April 1, 2019 (his third test is also a filing failure to be backdated) is considered more than one year. Poorly written rules by WADA. Poor enforcement showing up for the control late. Absolutely an embarrassment for all parties involved. And are any of us surprised?
This is a joke.
Also, because he put up an inaccurate location. Based on the rule, if an athlete submits and incomplete location or an inaccurate location, then that is deemed a filing failure.
And I believe the following constitutes a year: April 1, 2018 to May 31, 2019, so that is a correct ruling in regards to the whereabouts filing taken place outside of the 12 month period,.
Everything makes sense to me, so I don't see what the problem is. The filing infraction took place in April of 2018. The testing officer showed up outside of the 1 hour window, so those two actions combined equals no violation had taken place. So the case gets dismissed.
1. April 1, 2018 - May 31, 2019 is a 12 month period.
2. The incorrect filing location took place April 1, 2018
3. Tester showed up on June 6, 2018, outside of the 1 hour window. So it was not a missed test. It was a filing failure, and goes back to the time when the actual location error took place: April 1, 2018
4. Which means that the infraction took place in the previous 12 month period and not the current 12 month period.
