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.
