He raises some very interesting issues. For one thing, as it stands now, Hardy will not be eligible for the 2012 London Games due to a new rule stating that anyone suspended for drugs for at least six months is ineligible to compete in the next Games. Another point is that even if she did ingest the drugs accidentally, she would still be getting the performance benefit from these drugs and this isn't fair to the clean athletes.
I've got to agree with geek. When it comes to these athletes taking any kind of supplement caveat emptor should apply.
