I'm pretty cynical about the whole doping thing, tbh. While sports science may have improved over the last 20 years - and I'm aware that the current generation of early twenty-somethings are the first to grow up working with power data - we're now consistently seeing times on a par with the EPO free-for-all days.
On the Compton front, she's been/was dominant for such a long time in the US, I wouldn't be assuming that someone who has now failed a test was always previously clean...

yeah, of course. if you get caught once there's no reason to assume any of it's clean but I always find these things so bleak. to get to the point where doping (in particular steroids) seems like the right idea is indicative of a mind state that seems desperate and very sad to me.

I always find it dubious when someone over 40 is still competing at the front of the field, it might sound petty but there's good precdent from Horner onwards.

Times for what, exactly?

I'd like to think she did it in order to hang on in the last few years but the earlier stuff was all clean but I guess we'll never know.
Seems like a dumb way to destroy her legacy
