How hard is it to beat WADA/ASADA's testing protocols? Saw an interview that Lance Armstrong did recently where he was saying everyone in top level cycling is on.
Lance Armstrong, Marion Jones, Carl Lewis (supposedly), East Germany, China, Bulgaria and now Russia's systematic doping regimes have proven that it can be beat. And I'm sure they would be just the tip of the iceberg. Anyone want to guess how many more Countries and Athletes are getting away with PED programs.
In Australia, very hard.
If any of you ever get to a good standard in a sport subject to ASADA testing, just try it.
How did he get away with it though?
So here’s how we beat the testers:
Tip 1: Wear a watch.
Tip 2: Keep your cellphone handy.
Tip 3: Know your glowtime: how long you’ll test positive after you take the substance.
What you’ll notice is that none of these things are particularly difficult to do. That’s because the tests were very easy to beat. In fact, they weren’t drug tests. They were more like discipline tests, IQ tests. If you were careful and paid attention, you could dope and be 99 percent certain that you would not get caught.
“Mister Hamilton? I’m here from USADA to administer a doping test.”
Haven and I looked at each other for a long second. Then, moving as one, we hit the deck; we lay flat on our bellies on the tile floor of our new kitchen.
“Hello? Anybody there?”
We crawled across the floor and into the safety of the living room, and listened to the knocking.
We put them off for the day. I fudged my whereabouts form, drank a ton of water, peed a lot. Then, when I was sure I wasn’t glowing, I took the test.
Around 2001 the red eggs (testosterone capsules) were used less than testosterone patches, which were more convenient. They were like big Band-Aids with a clear gel in the centre; you could leave one on for a couple of hours, get a boost of testosterone, and by morning be clean as a newborn baby.
hormones need to be given in suspension as their base salt
This is pretty much unbeatable
Detection of testosterone administration based on the carbon isotope ratio profiling of endogenous steroids: international reference populations of professional soccer players
i believe, they test for carbon isotopes, since testosterone is made from soy, and has a specific carbon formation, and its this they test for.
if you were to use non-plant derived testosterone, then this test fails.
Also you can eat a certain diet that throws off this carbon footprint, so the test becomes in-effective.
Wrong, even this old site indicates that taking such short acting versions remain present for a while, detection methods have improved since.
