I'm not all that interested in religion, and I am not insecurely looking to belong to a group of like-minded believers. It doesn't bother me what fans seriously believe, nor what the media says, nor if anyone is convinced by what is plainly available to them to confirm for themselves. I've long ago learned that people with strongly held beliefs will cling to them, and will resent being told that what they believe is just that -- what they believe. I'm also not that sure I would like to share an island with them.
I'm not convinced though that any of her competitors believe she intentionally doped with nandrolone. I'm completely unaware of any single athlete who is on record saying that she intentionally doped with exogenous nandrolone, or that any of her US records were doped. I think they remain mostly silent knowing it could have been them, and that this is a frightening wake-up call.
Do I know how rare that a doper tests positive? I don't know how that is relevant. But thanks to the AIU "experts" -- her accusers -- and two decades of scientific research on nandrolone from pork made available to the whole public, some conducted by Prof. Ayotte herself, I do know how possible it is to test positive for nandrolone by ingestion from pork in the USA with a different CIR, and how likely that would be in normal times in the US, and how that would have been more likely during the pandemic, for several reasons found in the CAS report, and several other reasons I was able to find that did not make it into the CAS report. With all that knowledge, it hardly matters to me what fans or media, or any competitors want to believe, as I cannot be sure to what extent they have informed themselves.
Let's remind ourselves of the only fact here: she was found with a small amount of nandrolone in her urine sample, from the CAS report, likely ingested (meaning most of it never entered her circulatory system), in the middle of December in the off-season. Please spare me all this alleged "she stole" anything from anyone. This is nothing like Ruth Jebet, who switched to Bahrain, and subsequently tested positive for EPO.
