quite clearly you havent been tested by WADA.Yes, but how many? I.e. I could say Australia does twice as many tests as America, if America did 1 and Australia did 2.
Anyway, for the Olympic sports, the WADA code gives you 3 strikes. So first you do stuff with minimal glow time, and if they DO come knocking when you're not ready, you just hide under the bed.
No I realise that, and I'm not speaking from experience. I'm speaking from what I've read from professionals' confessions.
First of all, the hide under the bed thing is for real. If you're "not" where you say you were going to be, you get a strike. Not only that but the WADA code also states that athletes have to be tested at certain times, etc. This then allows you more flexibility with what you actually use.
Second, I know it's not going to be 1 or 2 tests, but I just wanted to point out that "more or less" is irrelevant if the actual incidence of testing is low.
So if Australia did 178 tests in the year, how many athletes does that cover? I genuinely have no idea, but work it out and think - if there's 60 athletes, that's an average of 3 tests per year. 3 days out of 365 - not only that, but add in your 2 free "strikes" and I feel like it's not as "watertight" as people would like to think.
I agree with the idea that testing "lessens" cheating, rather than stopping it.
[MENTION=2727]Fadi[/MENTION]; - having competed in this sport yourself, what do you think of the above breakdown?Weightlifting suspensions 2008-2014 interesting?
@Fadi ; - having competed in this sport yourself, what do you think of the above breakdown?
It seems dbol and winstrol (stana) are common but these don't really suit weightlifting in my opinion. Dbol puts on a lot of mass which can't be a good thing in a weightclass sport and winstrol I've heard is pretty harsh on the joints which wouldn't be too kind, either.

Oh that! It's nothing new brother.corruption.
Wingman, I forgot to add marihuana. I take it that would fall under cannabis (as per your list). That was used for recovery and relaxation.
Sorry I'm not following you here mate. What's this "other"?And for getting the pre-requisite number of calories I bet
It's amusing how 'other' was 62, seems odd to have a 'other' stat that high, especially when some of the named items on the chart were only 3 or 4 incidents.

Oh, I get it thanks! I'm surprised Tomoxifen (Nolvadex) was 1 when Dianabol was 100, as these two always tagged along together.On the chart that I linked above, it has all the items along the X axis. The far right one is Other. In the list below, it comprises what the Other includes.

UGT2B17. I don't mean to make you feel more disheartened with this whole corrupt system, but please do some research on this gene, what you may find may make you feel even more disappointed!im rapidly losing my faith in mankind.
