Todos dizem que são inocentes mas este caso é estranho. Usada testou a amostra A, nada a apontar. Meses depois testa a amostra B e dá positivo para qualquer coisa. Porquê que não acusou na 1a amostra? Enquanto o sistema anti doping não for infalível não vale a pena. É mais do mesmo. Polémicas e mais polémicas e muitas vezes carreiras destruídas por causa do estagiário no laboratório.
“I provided a sample for USADA in September 2020 that came back negative for any banned substances, it was not even atypical,” she wrote. “That news was communicated to me in the same way it has always been via a letter from USADA. I’ve received that same letter after every test I’ve submitted for the last 19 years. In early February of 2021, after returning from a difficult race season, I learned that the same sample from September was re-analyzed due to a bio-passport irregularity and found to be positive for an exogenous anabolic steroid. This was devastating news to me as I have never intentionally or knowingly put anything like that into my body. I know how delicate women’s hormones are, and I would never choose to take anything to jeopardize my health and, as a result, suffer irreparable damage to my endocrine system. And not only that, I never took anything for ethical and moral reasons; I’ve been a strong proponent of clean sport my entire career and feel doing anything to enhance one’s own natural ability is cheating, full stop.
