Ritz was the most tested T&F athlete of 2012

What about desi Davila ?

Just wondering, can you explain Alysia(Montano)Johnson 2, Gall 1, Schmidt 2, all who made Oly team and Moore 1, Wright 3 (all Nike) and Martinez (NB) 1? If this is for all quarters of 2012 why so few tests for those Nike runners while Beckwith (Sau) 6 and Vessey (NB) 10? Seems those particular Nike athletes are not tested as frequently as well as Martinez, who had a stellar season. Also, are testings done in international races shown elsewhere?

Those are fake insider tests by USADA/WADA which are governed the very sports federations and media companies that make billions from from doped athletes.

Until we have fully independent testing, full transparency, with data published on the internet for scientists worldwide to examine, sports will continue to be doped to the gills.

So a very honest question: Jeter was tested 15 times last year. Does anyone think she could dope and get away with it under such incredible scrutiny?

Well considering that Marion Jones passed 132 tests while she was doping, and Lance Armstong passed somewhere in the neighborhood of FIVE HUNDRED tests over the decade that he appears to have been doping. Yes. Yes I do.

I think it is naive to think that if you are friends with someone that you know whether or not someone is doping. I also think it is naive to think that because someone is a Christian that they are not doping.

I will speak for myself. I never doped I was a upper level college runner but knew I would never do anything professionally. However would I have doped if the opportunity came my way? Yes. Would I have told anyone? No just me and the person helping me out with it. Also I am a Christian who most would never believe would do anything like that. The fact is that when it comes to money, ones livelihood, and fame we will see a lot of people do things that we never thought they would.

I don't think you should extrapolate the fact that by your own admission you don't have any character to mean that nobody else does either.

glad you didn't do anything professionally in running

that's in-competition tests only. l.a. guys are tested at least once a week, sometimes twice a week, given UCLA is the leading PED detection lab in the world.

With Ritz listed at 17 and Solinsky at 7, it certainly isn't in-competition tests only. Ritz competed no where close to 17 times and Solinsky essentially didn't compete at all.

L.A. sukzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz can't read or doesn't care. The USADA link plainly says it is both in and out of competition testing as posters have pointed out earlier in the thread.

MLB, NFL, NHL, Boxing, and internationals sports pros in L.A. are tested twice a week at times by various empowered drug authorites. T&F and runners at HSI, WCE, The Factory, USCD, OTC, ... are subjected to Gestapo tactics from North Korean trained thugs. Ryan Braun got busted and confessed since he was born and raised and lives in L.A. during the off season. Not as bad as jockeys and horses at Santa Anita, Del Mar, and Hollywood Park since Horse Racing has a ticket levy and prize tax that pays 100% for drug tests.

That 500-test number was invented by Lance Armstrong and his PR machine in an attempt to make people believe he was clean. The actual number given in the Reasoned Decision is closer to 250- which is still a lot, but to get to (and agree with) your point, it's pretty easy to pass tests when:

1. A drug is illegal, but there's no test for it, as was the case for EPO during the 99 and maybe 00 Tours

2. You're micro-dosing and your team director is telling you ahead of time which days the testers are coming

3. The testers conveniently allow you 20 minutes to "shower" between showing up and taking the sample, giving you time to run an IV bag into an unobtrusive vein

4. You've given large amounts of money to the organization that tests you and simultaneously profits from your athletic success.

Plus, in-competition tests are really a form of IQ test. If you're stupid enough to test positive in competition, you must need help to tie your shoes. Out of competition tests are the only ones that have a chance of catching significant numbers of cheaters. I don't know the ratios if in- to out-of-competition tests, but the total number of tests is probably not that indicative of how likely you are to be caught. Does anyone know what percentage of testing-caught dopers were tagged by an in-competition test? It would be interesting to know.
