Does this point to the sophistication of a PED regimen, or the absence of one?
Remember, the guy who runs that thing was hired by Red Bull AFTER being found guilty of doping athletes without their knowledge...........
You can really go down a big rabbit hole with all kinds of theories, probably none of which are really true.
But again, having a single person in charge of the health and nutrition of the entire team is not without it's possible huge huge problems.
If I were Aldon (and maybe he already does this), I would only advise on nutrition plans that included real foods. I would not at all advise the riders on anything related to pills, vitamins, work out proteins, vita shakes, etc etc.
The riders need to be responsible for what they put in their bodies.
The Shop
I won't speculate on the last statement you made.
I've been thinking about something that these factory teams, or maybe even some of the elite riders might consider:
If I were a top level team manager, or elite rider, I would hire an attorney to draft a contract with an independent laboratory to collect, analyze and store samples from each racing event. The lab would have exclusive control over those physical samples.
A team with this service in place is protected from the rider legally and in reputation while the rider is protected from any potential mistakes made by the FIM.
In this case it seems more likely that Broc is either guilty by accident, or guilty by malice and I suspect none of us regular folks will ever know the facts.
don’t forget what broc was supposed to be with the ktm team and aldon baker. he was expected to be better and his results were worse then suzuki. sounds to me like motive to cheat. can you imagine the pressure to live up to expectations on the best team and best trainer and failing? and yes, he was failing. he couldn’t even podium with all the riders missing with injury. he was looking for an edge.
the bottom line is that substance was in his body and it’s not something that accidentally gets there. i’m gonna say what a lot of people aren’t saying. broc tickle cheated and he got caught. it’s really that simple.
what’s crazier then ktm firing him is you supporting a rider that has illegal performance enhancing drugs in his split screen urine sample.
good people make bad decisions
Hence why they had to get Grigory Rodchenkov (Russian WADA lab director) to cooperate with them.
That being said, the testing level is far more detailed and probing than you would normally get by turning in a sample to Quest Diagnostics and asking for a basic panel. And I'm sure that the Red Bull Diagnostics and Training Center is not farming out their testing to a commercial laboratory, they are doing it in their own state of the art facility, at state of the art levels of detection, and sharing the results with absolutely no one outside their organization......
Would you think a testing lab would start making their own energy drinks? No.
Just my own two cents.

never mind it's impossible to inhale that much anyway and there was no tue for oral salbut.
TO ME, this is the most telling. he really has no defense here. this isn't tainted meat stuff.
