Olympic gold medallist Gil Roberts has been banned for 16 months after testing positive for two banned selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs). The United States Anti-doping Agency (USADA) announced today that Roberts has accepted a 16-month sanction after an out-of-competition urine sample collected on May 19 came back positive for andarine and ostarine. Roberts argued that a dietary supplement which did not list the banned SARMs in its ingredients was to blame. USADA accepted this, adding the supplement to its High Risk List, and therefore reduced the length of Roberts' ban. It has been backdated to have begun on June 3, the date Roberts was provisionally suspended. Athletes are still responsible for what enters their body and the risk of contaminated supplements has been publicised heavily. SARMs are banned at all times and have similar properties to anabolic steroids, including aiding muscle growth or retention. Roberts was in the US men's 4x400 metres team that won Olympic gold at Rio 2016.
A titan may not fall anytime soon but we will continue to see the constant stream of busts in countries like Kenya - like rain that never lets up.
As we see again this week - with yet three more busts - this forecast has aged perfectly. It is virtually daily now. They are like lemmings falling over a cliff.
This is the only sport where people are excited to see a big star fall! What a disappointing fanbase
A small fan base too, largely due to the doping from one or two geographic regions that has turned it from a sport on a par with tennis and boxing, to one less popular than table tennis and BMX.

At a certain point in life it becomes thoroughly entertaining to see liars and cheats getting outed.
The sport should put far more effort into getting big busts as that aspect has become very entertaining. A mega star falling would be hilarious. It's just disappointing that the sport is not banning nations where doping is obviously endemic such as Kenya.

As the 1980s and 90s were rife with doping and T&F was very popular, I doubt that this is the main reason. Also, the first big doping scandals were all in the sprints and involved most prominently Canadians and Germans.
