From what i have heard, from several credible sources, someone on the us women's team tested positive. As of now only the persons family, roommate, and usa swimming know, but im sure it will begin to leak out. Nothing matters though until we get results of the B test.. which could be a few days or even weeks. Not sure when the test was taken, but probably trials. I will try to post more information when I get it, but if anyone could confirm or post what they know, im sure it would be appreciated
I think one of the most interesting aspects is that she tested positive on the 4th and negative on the 6th. That implies that it is very possible to use these types of drugs without having any positive test results, random out of competition testing being the only obstacle.
Remember...Marion never tested positive. Out of competition testing only works when you know what your testing for and the athlete is not using any masking agents.
So with China now having a new gene doping/stem cell regime & WADA saying its their worst fears come true...is it time to check into past travel schedules of athletes....and is there any possiblity of ever detecting cheating at this level?
