From the Oregonian --- "Travis Tygart, head of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, best known as the man who took down Lance Armstrong, told The Oregonian/OregonLive that he’s more skeptical of the rival doping agency and the way it handled this case than he is of Houlihan."
Does not explicitly say she is innocent but that's what the author implies.
Travis Tygart led USADA while giving Galen Rupp 300 drug tests and all of them came back clean. The USADA also have Lance Armstrong numerous drug tests and never one tested positive, only Floyd Landis' big mouth spilled the beans. I think Travis Tygart should shut up and the USADA be disbanded as being as corrupt as the Russians and British Cycling.

Hahaha, yes indeed. Also, what? He sees the AIU as a "rival doping agency" to USADA? LOL.
He should be ashamed that AIU had to come onto his turf, and catch our stars McLean, Coleman, and Houlihan one after the other...
Travis Tygart, director of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, fears that Houlihan’s may be one of a growing number of “innocent positives.” As testing technology gets more sensitive, food, medicine and even sunblock can lead to elevated levels of banned substances.
Is that what he said? Really? Nice obfuscation; he knows very well that Houlihan's roid amount would already have been detectable in the 90s.
This is even more proof that USADA sees its job to protect American athletes from doping band rather than trying to do anything about doping in the sport. When was the last time an American athlete served a ban from a positive USADA test? Genuinely don’t know that answer and am curious.

Nothing you wrote indicates corruption. It only indicates that drug testing is a poor way to catch dopers.
So you are saying by comparing USADA to Russia that USADA is doping athletes and replacing positive samples with clean ones?
However the banned substance got into her body all that matters is it was there. That makes her guilty. I would think Travis would understand zero tolerance and not care how a banned substance got into all of her failed samples.

No. I am saying that Travis Tygart and the USADA are declaring positive drug tests of prominent American athletes to be clean when they come back positive.

So she confirms explicitly for the first time that she was coached by Jerry while banned.
The drip drip of information kills me. Everyone said the burrito story was ridiculous and a year later she says it was crazy and that she might not even believe it herself. For months people ask if she is training with Jerry and get no comment or her statement in April that she wasn't getting coached by Jerry (not whether she had been). Finally, over a year after the CAS decision she admits it.
Makes you wonder what else will be admitted as time goes on.
