Passing the tests is easy, you stop taking the drugs in advance of the tests so that they clear your system. That's how Ben Johnson, Linford Christie and so many other athletes passed the tests for years. Out of contest testing is fairly easy to avoid as well, although Mo had to miss two tests in the year before London 2012, one away from a 4 year ban.
The circumstantial evidence is overwhelming, I'm afraid PRSB. :judge:

There is a fighter in the UFC Tim Kennedy who is also in the national guard. He does the Hunting Hitler show on the History channel.
He saw someone on his drive as he came home and pulled a gun on them. it was one of the Usada testers :hehe:
Then made him wait a bit as he come back from working out so made the Usada fella watch him take a shower.
This makes me wonder how there are not more drug test failures in the Premier league.
I find this very odd. You have 20 teams. let's say 25 players per squad. 500 young lads aged earliest 16 and latest mid 30s, athlete
cash on the hip. you'd think you'd at least get a few more recreational drug use failures here and there.
Yet it doesn't seem to happen often. unless they are kept quiet. .

From the FA.
Which is probably why he spends time training in remote parts of Africa where it's much harder to access him. In fact, he has trained at a facility in Africa where the chap running the facility was recently charged with - yes you guessed it - the distribution of drugs.
:hehe:
So you're saying all the Kenyans are all drug cheats then? Wow!
I think once you accept that there are those at the very top level using unfair means to win, it becomes naive not to realise that it must be well-nigh impossible to win without those artificial advantages. Thus, you have to assume virtually anyone who wins is bent.
Think about it: Russia was running a state-sponsored doping scheme and only came fourth in the Olympic medals table. What does that suggest to you? It's essentially an arms race that forces everyone to use those means just to compete, so what else are people going to do?
It doesn't particularly bother me, either. What bothers me is the hypocrisy and naivety of imagining that it's only those guys who cheat and that 'our' guys must be fine.
What? How dare you suggest that all our brave, asthmatic cyclists who receive mysterious medical packages whose contents nobody can remember might be in any way suspicious?! How dare you suggest that Sir Braddles Wiggles' sudden 'retirement' may simply be a means of quitting before he gets busted!? These are vile calumnies!
You, sir, are beneath contempt!
is a gallon and a half of Guinness performance enhancing?
Steak and spuds.
Those two are just clean mad young lads from West Cork, any person that lives in Ireland would probably know somebody like them.
There was a documentary on RTE about them over Xmas, now very obviously beyond the interviews they are hugely dedicated sportsmen but I am not sure they have had a lot of PR or media training.
:clap: asthmatic cyclists :hehe:
Next thing you know, Burney, SW will be wondering why good old Mo went from a virtually nobody in middle distance running, at the relatively advanced age of 26, to the most dominant middle distance runner in the history of sport, only after beginning to work with a coach who is well known for encouraging doping, to the extent that numerous athletes have testified under oath that he taught them how to dope.
Cynical Irisher that he is. :nod:
Yes, true. The Yanks never gave a toss about doping in athletics just as long as they won (see Michael Johnson). However when it turned out that one of baseball's most hallowed records (Roger Maris 61 home runs in a season) was obliterated by two players out of their minds on steroids, it suddenly became a national scandal.
The time is not far off I think when everyone will stop caring and they can just take what they like. If they subsequently do a Florence Griffith Joyner and drop dead at the age of 39 then so be it.
I just think most fans would rather not know if football's bent, tbh. Equally, the authorities won't want to crack down on it, while most of the media does very nicely out of football and won't have much interest in killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. I just think everyone's happier turning a blind eye.
