    That's an interesting read. I didn't know about the alcohol regs.
    Really idiotic.

  3. Just scanned the articles, but they sounded a little hysterical to me,
    and ignoring the problem WADA has to deal with.

    EG. Slate The alcohol amounts are set by different jurisdictions, not
    covered by WADA. Why is that idiotic? As for why the difference,
    maybe with 2/10's you don't get an advantage (eg calming of nerves) in
    billiards, while 3/10's in boating corresponds to impairment.
    Different problems, different amounts. Weak thinking and writing.

    As for Rushall and colleague, it sounds like grandstanding on details
    to me. Steroids don't work? Maye for some untrained people, but how
    is that relevant to our problem? The label for steroids in the WADA
    list is a big issue?

    Interesting. I hadn't thought about it that way. I don't normally
    think of alcohol as a performance enhancing product. Although I have
    been known to _think_ my performance has been better while under the
    influence. 😉

  5. Looks like somebody has a barrow to push.

  6. Not sure what you mean.

    Probably "someone with a mission" (to keep WADA honest maybe).

    If so, I suggest bad criticism is worse than none. I generally like
    what WADA is doing, but believe all institutions need checks and
    balances. Such as some real probing into the false positives like
    Betke?
