"USADA also found one of the supplements Grove was taking contained the banned substance clomiphene, though that substance did not show up in Grove’s test at Nationals."

I didn't know that.

I'm conflicted. First I thought "fuck him" then it was contamination and I thought "well that's not great but it's the rules" now I see his taking supplements with banned shit I'm back to "fuck him". How would the previous record holder feel about the guy beating him having two banned substances in his system, contaminated meat or not? Contador didn't get a free pass for it.

"Cusick says he had warned Grove multiple times against taking supplements"

Contador didn't get a free

Contador didn't get a free pass because WADA, and ultimately CAS, didn't believe that food contamination was the true story. Many other athletes have stood up the food contamination story with much more convincing evidence and have been cleared of any ADRV.

Many? I think I recall two. It doesn't matter. The point is the rules don't suddenly change when you hit 90. If it's in your system, according to WADA (and it seems pretty damn likely USADA but I'm not reading their rules) you're guilty.
