Is there a link besides a Tweet where one can get the full story? Which substance? Was the B sample tested yet? Is the athlete contesting the ruling?

Hopefully not a repeat of the Caster Semenya debacle...

I assume he will claim ignorance, although by all accounts he is a well educated chap, so the ignorance card can not be played.

 

Actually there is far more to it than just the individual. These chaps do not act in isolation, they have teams around them and trainers. Yeah, he could have been sneaking it on the side but the more likely explanation is either that it was a team effort (unlikely) or one of those situations where he had some cough medicine or the like and tested positive (no excuse really).

Only a few tweets on Twitter thus far. The new form of journalism. Desperation to break a story first without all the details and facts.

Ya, just now a tweet from Sky news, telling us of a tweet they received of the earthquake in Melbourne. Although that one I've seen pics of, and spoken to mates in Oz, and it really happened.
