I get what you mean but there's a huge difference.
First off, there is no baseline set for a banned substance. It's there or it isn't.
2nd of all, Victor Conte called out this as bullshit and so did Dave Palumbo and John Romano and a few other top coaches, which out of those guys, have more knowledge of drugs than anyone or USADA and Wada combined.
They also explained exactly what was happening, and exactly how it showed up. And why it shouldn't have.
And mostly, why drug amounts NEVER rise after the initial peak concentration in the body.
3rd, Novitsky is now on the UFC payroll. Not USADA anymore. You aren't going to bullshit the guys that are the best drug coaches in the world. "Passing a drug test is as easy as passing an IQ test"
From MMA Fighting.
Novitzky revealed that Jones first tested positive for trace amounts of a longterm metabolite of oral turinabol in an Aug. 29 drug screening conducted by USADA.
That test discovered eight picograms of the oral turinabol metabolite in Jones’ system and
followed an Aug. 9 drug screening that came back clean.
Novitzky said that Jones’ next drug test, on Sept. 18, also came back positive for 19 picograms of the same longterm oral turinabol metabolite.
After that, four consecutive drug tests came back clean for Jones — on Sept. 21, Oct. 2, Oct. 11, and Nov. 14 — before the longterm metabolite reemerged in an out-of-competition USADA test collected on Dec. 9 in the range of 60 to 80 picograms. More than before which is IMPOSSIBLE without new ingestion.
Back to the top. Victor Conte, John Romano and Chris Aceto all agreed on what happened.
Their concensus was he was on something else that was cut with cheap Tbol because cheap cost for China raws and often used in place of other drugs due to profits.
Had he been on drugs with a 4-6 hour half life and gone within 24-36 Hours, he'd have been clean.
If it was cut with a cheaper compound like Tbol, you're popped because 5-6 days to clear your system.
It does not come back, and/or come back higher than it was before, and the story about the tests being that much better than before is a total lie.
They know and arent on the payroll selling a story to the public.
Something needs to be done. I think the appropriate would be, you test postive, a & b samples, then you are DQ'd for the year. Start fresh the next year. Plain and simple and will not derail a career.
The Shop
but I feel like there should be someone of the highest power who should be held responsible for answering the questions WHY IS THIS TAKING SO LONG, AND HOW IS THE WAY THIS PROCESS CURRENTLY WORKS CONSIDERED OK??
If KTM gets involved...
"Oh, the FIM only fixed this because Roger called!"
No one wants to hear that and what REALLY needs to happen is for the FIM/WADA/CAS & ANYONE-ELSE involved...to get off their asses and do some actually work.
I'm guessing this is a similar situation with Tickle. The maximum allowable levels are set too low and you are labeling ppl as cheaters when in reality, they are just victims of poor quality control at the supplements manufacturing level.
T-shirts?
Places such as Racer X and Transworld have reported that the FIM punishes riders in Tickle’s situation who choose to race non-FIM sanctioned events (Cade Clason as an example). This nearly eliminates their ability to make a living with their professional skill set and that should be illegal. I’m thinking that is the angle his lawyer is working with his talk of the FIM and FELD conspiring against him
Like somebody else has stated, it would be like a forklift driver failing a drug test and being barred from doing any kind of warehouse, construction, or other occupations.related to something that has hydraulics, anywhere in the world.
The penalty should be set so the rider knows when he can come back, and the only other way that wada should be able to change it should be if the person fails a pre-return drug test.
It is fortunate that wada officials don't have to take tests themselves with chicken shit being on the banned list.
They would fail spectacularly, and could end up banned from idiotic bureaucracies for an undetermined length of time, with any further stupidity adding time to the suspension.
Pit Row
Its like getting arrested and never having a court date.
It's nothing different in other sports.
True he hasn’t received the Official letter.
If your sitting in prison and you know you robbed the bank and you have the money die all over you and you know you are getting a life sentence......it really doesn’t matter if you got a certified letter from the Judge!
The penalty is set, in writing, for anyone to read. 2 year suspension unless they prove intent, which would make it 4 years.
I was hoping that JS7 would have put up this much of a fight - things may have changed then and he might still be racing. Tickle's lawyer may not be able to change his sentence, but maybe it will force the FIM to handle these situations a little better.
I was thinking they went ahead and changed everything to 4 years now?
His length so far isn't out of the ordinary for any other sport.
