I almost responded to this at the time but didnt.
It has been eating away at me… I understand why you say that, generally its true for cheats but that doesnt make in a fact for clean athletes, its just genetics… for example I am veiny at 20% body fat and my dad, never been anywhere near any drugs nevermind PEDs
You can’t look at peoples physical appearance and make any kind of assumption. There are exceptions but thats details…

Not read it but first reaction… wtf… how can that be right re: world record? and although Ive not read it I have read and listened alot of media about the situation/case.

Yes, apparently which is why it’s standing, but they’re still investigating and have her phone by sound if it
I’m sure they’d like to get it backdated and remove the record.

How are they saying they’re sure she only tested positive because she had sex with a doper?
This seems even less believable than the contaminated burrito story…
Or is it the same thing?
