United States Olympians have "purple sweet potato essence"? Can I still compete if I am positive for doping? The United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) called it a problem with restaurant meat! But there are 3 points that I can't figure out!
United States Olympic track and field star Eriyan · Knighton was found positive for steroids (trenbolone) during a doping test on March 26 this year, but he was still allowed to participate in the Paris Olympics, which is incomprehensible.
1. Knighton's positive result was blamed on eating contaminated meat, but the fact that USADA didn't start investigating until two months later and happened to detect the same substance in beef purchased from the same restaurant is puzzling.
2. If there is widespread contamination of beef in the United States market, has USADA conducted the necessary market research and risk assessment? Are athletes adequately informed of the associated risks?
3. Is there a hidden motive behind USADA's rush to issue a statement declaring that "justice has been served" when the WADA review of the case file and the appeal period has not expired?
These questions are not only related to Knighton's personal eligibility, but also related to the fairness and purity of sports competitions.
Do you think it's just a coincidence that you ate contaminated meat?
