There's a big difference IMO between athletes doping and the country not for what ever reason not doing adequate tests and one where the country at governmental level is deliberately manipulating the testing, hiding positives and even bribing athletes.

 A member for 10 years and still no mouldy peanuts Member 1252, 4481 posts SQ 160, BP 110, DL 215485.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq | It appears the NCAA doping history can be best described as farcical: http://tinyurl.com/gsarsas "It’s a school-by-school patchwork of policies and penalties: A first-time steroid infraction would bench a Florida player for half the season but cost a Texas A&M player only a single game. Private schools such as Vanderbilt, meanwhile, aren’t required to share their drug-testing policies with anyone, not even the NCAA." | ||

Lost his pen, then found his pen. #phew Member 4899, 2956 posts | Steve said: But if athletes are competing in competitions run by the individual sports governing bodies or Internationally they will still fall under USADA/WADA? Indeed - but most don't, and have no need to...plus they get three or four years of training at arguably one of the most important stages of their careers with probably the finest training facilities as a block known to man and almost entirely out of the reach of any WADA tester - no TUE's, no Whereabouts, none of that "good" stuff. | ||
