The Issam Asinga Case: Did The Fastest High Schooler Ever Test Positive After Eating Gatorade Gummies Or Is It An Evil Coverup?

Lol rojo, you forgot to use the rekrunner handle for your doper apologism.

And Travis Tygart will be there all along proclaiming Asinga is innocent because he is an American that ate something contaminated and that the AIU and WADA are corrupt for bringing this case to the land of the free.

I overheard a few people on my team talk about purchasing drugs online a couple years back (I had fallen asleep at a party, woke up, and they thought I was still passed out), though I'm still not sure if they were talking about PED's or stuff like weed or molly because I couldn't think clearly because of the alcohol still in my system

VPN and a fake name could probably get 95% of privacy. And especially if you don't talk about it on texts, only in person, you're not going to get subpoenad except if you're buying distribution quantities

he is definitely guilty, but just might get away with it because of the improper label. Hope he doesn't.

Rojo, pretty disingenuous of you not to include the info about the outside of the gummies having much higher concentrations.

it's just click-baity.

Even using a VPN and a fake name, you would still have to get the drugs shipped to you. If the PEDs are shipped through the US Postal System then it becomes a federal crime and you could then get the US Post Office Marshalls involved to intercept all packages going towards a Asinga associated address.

2 THE GILLS!!!!

Asinga doesn’t represent the USA.

Will be interesting to see if he follows through with the lawsuit. Gatorade messed up here with mislabeling and not having samples, but if he has something to hide, filing a lawsuit against a multibillion dollar company won’t be the best way to keep it hidden.

well, there are 2 issues here, that can be independent.

1 doping athlete, that's obvious delux red flagger

2 a cover your azz ;awuered big corporation, who got caught messing up simple certification

a third party, who maybe fools with G1516

you have to bust both athlete and supplier as having a PED in any product like G1516, that's a bust.

also verifying the ped on the outside of the gummie, that's a fun test, what did they do, dip the gummie in a solvent? what solvent?

and in the manufacturing process, could the gummie bear be exposed to ped on the surface?

well, i think by far the most likely thing is the athlete was a monster ped user, and like i said, the manufacturer isn't squeeky clean at all in delivering their advertised product.

big corps play lip service pretty much to every regulation in the first place, only comply when forced. and the regulatory agencies, they are usually in league with the big corp.

back in the day, Nestle / Coke came up with a "spring pure" bottled water which where the waster source was the municipal sewage water recycling plant. i worked in a lab that also made this sweedish herbal shampoo, the outfit was chinese, and you guessed it, there was nothing sweedish nor herbal about it.

anyway bust this gateraid moran group, in the process

>Even Marion Jones wasn't dropping world leading times in high school

which is funny because Marion Jones was doping in high school anyway

>Did anyone else get the gummies and test positive?

did anyone else who receive them even get tested?

I haven't had anyone explain this to me: The original AIU report said there was no actual evidence of tampering, only circumstantial evidence in the form of the GW1516 concentrations on the outside of the gummies being far higher than on the inside. But if there was no evidence of tampering to the gummies, how did GW1516 even get inside the gummy? It makes no sense.

We’re talking very small amounts of contamination on the inside (vs the outside). I’d guess something like this.

Someone doses the gummies with some GW to blame “tainted supplements.” Maybe a small paintbrush or something? Then over time the molecule moves inside in small amounts. There’s likely to be some small diffusion because of the big concentration difference between the inside and the outside and gummies are gels.

Am I the only one who had never heard of a "Gatorade Gummy" until I read this article?

Regardless of how the case plays out, I wouldn't mind seeing Gatorade getting into hot water for pushing this kind of crap onto high school kids.

If you want to go a step further with the conspiracy theory, how about this? Maybe someone in a different sprint camp (or Netflix?) tampered with the free sample, knowing this would be an easy way to pass the product directly to Asinga. (Think Chris Whetsine style). How much of a threat was Asinga to Lyles and the 100m crown?

This could explain the exterior concentration levels - tampering by someone else more sophisticated

FWIW, that's more plausible to me than him being completely innocent. There's just no way that the gummies have such inconsistent readings of the banned ingredient between the outside, the inside, and amongst the samples.

He was given an absolute gift from the Gods above when Gatorade messed up the certification and labeling.

I get the criticism that rojo didn't lay it all out in the post, and the article might be overly sympathetic to Assinga, but at the same time, I haven't seen people say anything that Gault didn't have in the article and I think alot of people are overly critical of Assinga.

I believe that Assinga is doped, but at the same time, I'm not totally convinced that a high school kid was doping on his own and I'm not sure he's the actual story. Were his parents helping him? A private coach? Was the Montverde Academy team as a whole doping? Are coaches at Montverde doping High school kids? I think any case of a high school kid getting busted basically immediately after entering the testing pool needs a bigger investigation than just him and his gummies. My guess is that if you had the entire team tested he wouldn't have been the only one pissing hot. Assinga just flew too close to the sun, and ended up needing to get tested. Had he not done as well, and just been kinda normal, won state, did ok at NBO, he never would have been in the testing pool, and no one would have ever known he was doping.

What a rookie. He should of blamed it on a burrito.

Whetsine had nothing to do with Gatlin's ban. He was a scapegoat for a doper that knew what he was doing and got caught.

I don't think there is a systemic effort to dope at MVA but I agree that there is no way he would be the only one who tests positive for some type of drug.
