Congratulations knighton for easily walking away from doping while Kenyans are being handed 6 years bans!
No One will ever convince me of American sprinters being clean!
All are dopers. The only difference between them and Kenya is that they have sophisticated doping concealiatory mechanisms as compared to naive Africans period!
The detention window for trenbolone metabolites is up to 5 months. So the half life of the actual drug yisn’t very important. Very small amounts are detected because the drug isn’t natural at all.

5 months? If that’s true, why would anyone take this? Also, wouldn’t there be way more positives from people eating tainted meat within in the last 5 months considering tren is legal for cattle?
Hard to say much without the info. There’s a scenario where they it was a trace amount and they go to the meat supplier and test it and it all checks out. There’re ones where it feels like USADA is maybe giving the benefit of the doubt overly. Tygart we know seems forgiving on this issue. It should come out later where this lies.
I just looked it up, and apparently trenbolone specifically is widely used to bulk cattle up.
I would have a really hard time giving up beef, hamburgers in particular, but this is the kind of sh!t that makes me consider doing it.
There is nothing to it. I gave up all forms of red meat when I was about 14. Now many decades later I don't miss it. About 3 years ago, my cousin made beef stew as part of Thanksgiving.Made the mistake accidentally of taking some, the texture of the small bit of beef I accidentally bit into was vile. Tastes buds have changed. It's now revolting.

Pretty sure that 5 months is for injection not eating some meat. There is a lot of nuance in reading drug tests when you get a reading that someone has tren (bad) but it is a super low value(could be accidental exposure).
" Tygart said the contaminated meat came from oxtail at a bakery in central Florida. A USADA investigation, including obtaining the meat and testing it, along with interviews with the manager of the bakery, Knighton, his girlfriend and his mother, backed up the sprinter’s contamination claim."

Seems pretty clear cut to me. Hopefully this test hasn't gotten in his head. I just wish it wasn't announced. Now it's dragged his name through the mud. The track world at large isn't gonna read these reports or stories, just the headlines.

Given he's still pretty skinny I don't imagine he is genuinely regularly taking tren in his cycle, so I'm inclined to believe this. That is to say, that even if he was doping he'd probably be using other substances than tren. Want to see the full hearing though
He was NOT as skinny at the Florida relays this year. Looked to have put on some muscle.
USADA generally just do that now. Happened last year with Tara Davis, and also the AIU did it last year with Tamara Clark. They probably had a rule change.
This really does put the cat amongst the pigeons. I am starting to ask myself whether the only difference between a lesser country like Kenya and the other countries is the sophisticated ability to find solutions to get athletes of the hook? I can see now why China is not backing down on their swimming doping case. Why can't they also be allowed to present reasons that exonerate their athletes but other can?
Kenya is the only country that isn't hiding behind cover ups, TUEs, legal minefields and sacred cows. That's why Kenya will be the only true clean country when the problem finally gets rooted out.
You guys do realize that banned substances can be contaminated with other banned substances, right?
Beef isn’t the only way to “inadvertently “ get tren into your system. A lot of that shlt is mixed by trogs in a garage somewhere.
He likely has a receipt, and is some sort of genius or gambling man if he came up with the place and happened to get vindicated by the Oxtail. It didn’t play with Shelby. I think you have the right to be cynical but he really pulled off a genius heist if your conspiracy theory is correct.
