Nesta Carter Ban - The IOC continues to be a JOKE!!!

[SWD-1985]

I first heard of this story on my favorite sports show a few days ago and immediately thought what BS!

https://www.olympic.org/news/ioc-sanctions-two-athletes-for-failing-anti-doping-test-at-beijing-2008

In 2008 Methylhexaneamine was NOT a banned substance under the IOC's "rules".  Additionally prior to the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Carter, like all Olympic athletes were subjected to a myriad of tests to ensure they were clean before the Olympics.  During the 17 day period of the Olympic games in 2008, Carter and many others had to submit to multiple random tests which required they made themselves available to be stuck with a needle immediately upon being notified.  He NEVER had a failure in 8+ years.............WHY???   Methylhexaneamine was NOT deemed as an illegal substance by the JOKE that is known as the IOC in 2008 when he competed, and was not added to their "list" until 2010. 

Here's the "other" irony.............Testing capability in 2008 was able to detect Methylhexaneamine, but never detected it in any of Nesta's samples.  So this re-analysis of a 9-year old sample suggests that Carter and his teammates should be disqualified.  BullSpit! 

They are saying that even though Methylhexaneamine was not banned at the time (in 2008), it still has a close resemblance to the following chemicals..............(Amphetamine, Methamphetamine, Norpropylhexadrine and Polyhexadrine), all except the Meth could be derivatives of multiple acceptable supplements at the time.  I swear one day the IOC is going to say aspirin is banned.  What a crock!

The funny thing about this story is that they expect Bolt, Powell, Blake and others to return their medals.   Another story stated that Bolt said he would not....and the story suggested that the IOC could repossess Bolt's medal.  ROTFLMMFAO!   That's hilarious.  I would love to see an IOC member travel to Trelawny, Jamaica with the purpose of reclaiming Bolt's medal.  That's akin to walking into Pyongyong with a sign proclaiming Kim Jung is a punk!

I don't know man. I think the athletes are always looking for some edge, and sometimes they are ahead of the IOC or other governing bodies.The US anti-doping agency was hot on this substance in 2011, which was only 3 years out from the '08 games. If these guys were always on the up and up, there would be no reasons for the testing to begin with. Why can't these guys just do their thing by working out and practicing, and leave the weird supplements alone? If they weren't taking these quick recovery, build extra mass, get more energy fast type products, they wouldn't be finding themselves in these positions later.

Having said that, I don't know why it took 9 years to finally catch the substance in the sample. I am pretty sure that the athletes understand their samples could be tested as new testing capabilities occur though.
