Usually B-sample confirmation takes a while. Not sure why, but at least in bike racing it was a 2-3 month process after the initial result was returned. example: Test on Feb-1 Result of A-sample in March Confirmation of B-sample in May/June. Bike racing is the only guide I have to go by.
I could see them pumping their cattle with any steroid they can get their hands on in some Asian countries.
It's possible, but personally I think AI (or his lawyer) is grasping at straws. Anyone who has messed with that shit enough knows how long it takes to get our of your system, or at least to fall below a detectable level. Personally, because he was soooooo close to being exactly on the minimum level, I think he was using the shit, and stopped early enough to (typically) be below the minimum level. But because of severe dehydration making the urine less diluted, the metabolites were concentrated enough to be detected. I could be wrong, but I'm just sayin'.
Alberto Contador tried the tainted beef argument already. WADA balked then, they probably will again.
Pretty sure Moto America would honor a WADA sanction. And yeah... the tainted beef defense is so 10 years ago. Might as well go with "vanishing twin" or "tainted supplement" for all the good it'll do.
When taking prescribed/non-prescribed hormones, you 'give' blood on a schedule to keep your blood from thickening. Part of the regimen. Hormones work! Stronger/Faster/Aggressiveness/Confidence/Endurance/Recovery. I'm racing MotoGP, and I crash and fracture my leg/arm/etc.....I'm feeding IGF-1 into my blood to heal that injury at a super physiological accelerated rate, so I can get back on the bike and back in the mix. Cruise on GH (and lite mg of Deca/anavar) and feed in Test-Prop B4 race weekends.....that's what I be doing, if I racing bikes for a living. My body would operate like a frickin Machine.
