Yeah we’ve been following this one Transitions. Makes Geoff Huegill’s conviction look like a parking ticket!

To quote one of his former crewmates, “Baggs doesn’t just have a dope problem. He is a dope.”

  1. Use Asthma inhaler
  2. Nike-Cheaty shoes

Anything else I could be doing?

Surely not as good as the phantom ectopic pregnancy, as an excuse to use EPO?

Even if she’s clean, I can’t believe that she claimed to have “never heard of nandrolone”.

Apart from EPO, it’s probably the drug that most people test positive for.

I’m sure with all the International lockdowns and restrictions, preventing OOC testing; doping is off the scale in the last 18 months.

Love this:

"After being notified of the positive test in January, Houlihan created a food log of everything she had consumed the week prior to the test.

Her team believes the result came from a pork burrito Houlihan purchased at a food truck near her home in Beaverton, Oregon, and ate the night before the 6 a.m. test.

It has been noted in WADA documents that consumption of meat, specifically pig offal, can lead to the presence of nandrolone."

Should read
“created a food log consuming everything she could find in the WADA documents that might be used as an excuse”

Rife in combat sports now, if you damage someone as a pro athlete and test pos you should get a hefty sentence.

( Prison )

Canelo Alvarez”s six month ban didn’t help the rot.

No if buts or maybes.

The apologists (excusists?) on the other site are astounding.

‘She’s innocent in my opinion’. No basis given. Because she’s a young, vaguely attractive female athlete who might do well?

Apparently she doesn’t normally keep a food log. Her olympic level coach has ‘never heard of nandrolone’. She wrote down everything she ate for a week a month ago.

Looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it’s sure going to shit like a duck.

Pretty much. She’s googled something about dodgy pork in Mexico and come up with theory (despite the fact that the meat would be US certified).
