  • UKAD do not come out of this well. They look like a bunch of obstructive and bungling bureaucrats who don't understand their own science. The fact that Lizzy managed to expose this on her own with limited resources is in itself very revealing. Usually it takes an official enquiry years and millions to come up with a series of stark findings like this. Chapeau Lizzy.

  • Same goes for WADA.

    “Chlortalidone is not known as a contaminant of medication (or Meat). There is therefore no reason for the Contaminants Working Group (or other WADA group or body) to consider introducing a MRL for this substance”

    but also

    “WADA does not keep a log of all products (if any) that have been asserted or found (rightly or wrongly) to have been contaminated with chlortalidone (or other prohibited substances). Moreover, and more generally, WADA does not have the (human) resources to conduct research in respect of matters arising in first instance cases (of which there are hundreds at any given time) to which it is not a party.”

    So, they don't keep records of contaminants... but can also tell you that the thing they pinged you for is not a known contaminate. Um, something fishy much?
