I don't know anything about that, don't recall hearing about it, etc.
So they have her ass in a crack two different ways.
They've already wrung the tearful public confession of wrongdoing out
of her IRT doping, where she didn't mention anything substantive about
"other", to the best of my recall and I did view that sad scene; no
interest in seeing any of it again thank you.
The authorities, they're real big on getting those statements read.
Still goes back to bad rules and bad enforcement IMHO. Note, she's
going to get far, far worse punishment than the coaches or the
others-- manufacturer/pushers, for instance-- involved, or those who
made the bad rules in the first place. It's called
"Scapegoating" (with a capital "S"😉.
When the competitor next to you can dope and get away with it, and all
this well known in the "public domain", and in much more detail
(methodology) in the realm of "insider information", then stripping
medals, lifetime exclusion and so forth-- "public excoriation" incl.--
are scapegoating. Cheap shot unloading on someone unable to defend.
If that's not true, then why isn't Victor Conte in jail for life? He's
back out and mocking the system. Where's his tearful speech of
atonement? I never saw anything from him other than some form of
defiance. But then, he's right, this is all just a big show for the
public. And the corporate (think "Enron"😉 sponsors, of course.
These guys need to go fight some real crime. But then, real crime
tends to fight back, doesn't it? --D-y
