Swimming-Brazil's world champ Cielo tests positive, escapes

I'm not naive enough to believe that PEDs aren't in our sports, but it always sucks when things like this pop up ... www.reuters.com/.../swimming-brazil-doping-idUSLDE76100420110702. Say it ain't so, Cesar.

  • I just glanced over the WADA 2011 prohibited list. Mannitol is included in the "masking" category. I used to work at a pharmaceutical development company, I remember mannitol was used in just about everything as an inactive filler (solvent characteristics). I can see how it's very possible someone can get dinged innocently. But not without some negligence of knowing the details of what's ingested. Even shampoo has banned compounds
