So you don't get much benefit and you're sure to get caught.

“We did what the rules require us to do in all positive cases,” USADA CEO Travis Tygart said. “We can take comfort that justice was served and transparency as required by the rules was achieved.” Tygart said the contaminated meat came from oxtail at a bakery in central Florida.

Tren 2 weeks in blood, and 28 days in urine would be an unwise choice during competition season. Maybe for someone with no knowledge, but someone involved in giving this to their athlete probably would alert them to this. Tren is commonly used in cattle to put size on them. Tren is used a lot in bodybuilding,, known to get your muscles hard. If the test showed trace amounts equivalent to what would be consistent with eating PED enhanced beef, maybe they just cleared him. The amount would make a big difference. Even in the pro bodybuilding ranks, its a saying to go as far as you can naturally, before you become enhanced. Knighton is far from his potential, and naturally talented, and I would side with him on this occasion. The reality is there is huge money in sports. Superstars, records, prodigies, etc, sell more tickets for more money. If a team of people are able to beat drug tests, so be it. Just like Balco and "the Clear", pure genius, someone probably still making it out there. If the Olympic committee really wanted to put an end to it, they would require athletes to declare their intention to compete at the olympics 12 months in advance and require weekly or 10 day drug test, through the Olympics. Just like the NFL could afford to test their athletes weekly, as well as the NBA. Times have changed Jesse Owens ran on dirt tracks, what would he be running today on these fast surfaces, he did not have GNC, or any fancy sports supplements, or even hormone fed beef.

[@veganpotterthevegan]

@anubisathletics you're generalizing steroids. Tren is out of your system very quickly. And he may have also just been microdosing. He absolutely didn't exceed the acceptable threshold for tren by eating food.

I agree with you. Transparency is the key here. Where there is a lack of it, questions will be raised by all those looking in from the outside. USA has a questionable history about taking action against their highest profile athletes, Carl Lewis comes to mind. They really need to do a better job than this pathetic bit of whitewashing. No one can deny what a great talent Knighton is, but because of this positive test, it now has to be proved to the satisfaction of everyone that he's not a cheat.

[@MrPanggs]

After seeing him run at trials. His body is very much still lacking muscle. He has more chub than he used to. If he was on tren it would be evident. It's easily the most volatile and extreme muscle building PED. If you use it for a month and don't even lift weights, you still put on crazy muscle mass - not to mention he has none of the adverse side effects like tren cough, acne, or hair loss.

The other lady reason that she gave it sounds like there were some bothering inaccuracies with her story. Ex. You said other people was with her eating at this place, and I'm willing to be they were tested, and they came up negative.

If he tested positive but it was at such a low, non performance enhancing level that would be commensurate with how much would have plausibly come from that meal, then maybe it’s an easy situation to determine. If Houlihan had way more nandrolone in her system than could plausibly come from eating the burrito I could see it taking longer to prove than it took to exonerate Knighton.

I doubt ppl get mad you cover it… it’s possible those motivated that support him to notice errors and those individuals have a tendency to notice them when it’s a topic that small errors should be avoided. Like implying there’s a lack of transparency as you did. Thats very problematic rhetoric from you, objectively speaking. I was surprised to hear that. Ppl will repeat now. But in reality, it’s perfectly in line with what the rules specifically say. WADA has already confirmed why this is and what to expect. Consistent with that, it’s not a true statement we’re missing information that we’d normally otherwise have. They confirmed in expedited investigations which is available to any athlete in circumstances predetermined such as deadlines and thresholds in the Olympic qualifying procedure, if any investigation would make that time elapse so that the athlete couldn’t participate due to the longer than normal process by the agency which has many things they are doing, so long as the athlete pursues their options within the restraints of the regulations which are available for you to read, they can trigger an arbiter decision which is a legal remedy to the auto suspension. Bc of this nuance, WADA must be invited. I confirmed with the pr contact, both they and USADA were present. So… check check and check. Bc WADA was present and now have access to the investigation material which also must be in line with WADA procedure, they need time to comb through it with their legal team and testing partners as well but again these are the same exact procedures. But they need to be allowed time to do their due diligence on top of the presentation and full hearing for legal reasons. This is the process we normally don’t see so you’re drawn to a perceived lack of data but again that’s not true. Analogous to the discovery process a prosecutor must be given time before the information is committed to public record, why would expect WADA to disclose the information before they’ve legally covered themselves? They had the right to object at the hearing. They easily could have . USADA and WADA teams were very much there. Thus, there’s no “lack of transparency . This is in line with expected transparency and you’ve now set the seed WADA and USADA are hiding something through specific rhetoric. That’s just one small example of it’s important to understand why ppl may be upset and considering respectfully not dismissing it. It’s possible , as imo on this topic, your said something that is not great for him which punishes him for exhausting available levers in a fair, open way with the regulatory bodies. This isn’t assinga openly making claims proven 100% untrue when they tested the sealed gummies. It’s preposterous what he claimed. I’ve read that document closely multiple times over. If he had expedited invitation for example, part of the mandate would 100% be testing of course of Gatorade gummies given how ridiculous that statement is. Sure enough, unsealed ones had the trace amount on the OUTSIDE not inside. Meaning it’s not during manufacturing.they stopped there which was polite. But it’s obvious what happened. They’d have stopped right there jn an expedited hearing and quickly triggered their challenge which sustains the auto suspension as their word literally overrules everyone. They hold the power. I think it’s great to talk about this and you shouldn’t question it. But if you do, make use of the public rules that cover how these take place . It’s super important bc athletes struggle to break free of scenarios where it’s a legitimate explanation and this type of video while certainly far from cements, I’ll defend you there, is a grain people will quote your statement and say “see Trp even says lack of info is weird” when in reality in one moment you were just wrong and deviated from your habitually hyper continent rhetoric that’s been fantastic in these areas. Erriyon had a strict liability failure. I don’t support that. But more than anything I will begrudge an athlete satisfying obligations that create a path to identifying a mistake . No matter how cynical I am, there’s a time to call this sketchy. For instance if they NEVER reveal. I’ll be front of the line. That’s sketchy. And in fact that would be highly illegal. They would cease to exist from lawsuits like the WBC after the toy jones similar scenario. But we’re not there yet. Thus fsr, no matter how it looks we’re not able to speak to the validity of the results. But the lack of that right is baked into all of this long ago when the rule was written. The man simply followed those rules. It could turn out enormous mistakes were made and giant oversights on testing benchmarks and markers need reevaluated. This is EXACTLY like what happened to Islam Makachev. There’s ppl who STILL call him a drug cheat despite the commission literally apologizing and laying out a very very crystal clear path to a string of errors that after Islams debacle, no athlete would have triggered the auto suspension. But bc of the reactions and people not waiting for them to explain, it stuck. The sports arguably top figure of mma, Ariel Helwani, just last week said he popped lol this happened 8 years ago and he’s still getting it wrong. It’s not a low level or non performance enhancing failure. It’s an outright incorrect decision. Again, that didn’t happened here. It’s a strict liability failure. BUT we’re still waiting as they very well could say the link wasn’t established under hyper intense scrutiny. And if I’m honest as I’ve stayed consistent imo he’s still not jn the clear. He’s not clear until they formally announce no challenge. They’ll be done before he boards a plane for Paris so it’s logical they didn’t risk calling it too early you should have expected this. It was always going to happen like this. But the standard for establishing this via meat is close to impossible to concoct in bad faith due to how they test and how the metabolites exist in your body and resemble the ratios in the meat which they confirmed was tested. It’s possible they already proved it but you’d have to for starters literally be clean. Masking agents and even timing would be obvious at this level. And 2 you’d have to be able to replicate the result. That part has more or less leaked imo and he didn’t create the doubt - the arbiter made that clear that this has very strong legs. That may be so. But until I see, it’s a strict liability failure. No excuses. BUT we have laws and rules for this exact reason. Athletes have genuinely prove n their cases and it’s not just a cover it’s legitimate they weren’t dirty. Or they need to amend the rules to eliminate this option that still requires objective investigation of WADA certified methodology. Either way mate your issue isn’t with Knighton it’s with WADA and USADA .

TRP Exclusive heres the problem that I have with Shelby Houlihan's Doping Case. in her own words: The burrito meat was chopped diced meat. It tasted very rich compared to other burritos she had eaten before from the food truck. She also remembers it being very uncharacteristically greasy with grease pooling at the bottom of the burrito into the foil. It was so rich and greasy that she was not able to finish it (she believes she ate about three-quarters of it). · Thinking back now on that night, she thinks she might have been mistakenly handed a different kind of burrito than the carne asada burrito she ordered by the person working the food truck. Now Beef and Pork have 2 very different taste, Boar Pork is a even more distinct taste than regular pork and much more of a distinct than beef. It's always said a athlete is responsibe for what they eat. Why didn't she go back and get what she paid for. Also Nandrolone is not found in beef, chicken, or lamb; it is a specific hormone and pheromone produced by boars-male pigs. The 'AIU' employed "John J. McGlone, Ph.D., a professor at Texas Tech University who studies swine", animal welfare, and animal behavior, to serve as an expert witness. McGlone told me that he personally called both Smithfield and Tyson, the meat suppliers for the food truck where Houlihan had eaten. Not much boar meat is consumed in America, and neither Smithfield nor Tyson sell it. Therefore, in his estimation, there was about a 1 in 5,000,000 chance that boar would have gotten into the burrito that Houlihan alleges caused her failed drug test. “Even if it did, it wouldn’t have given her that isotope ratio,” McGlone says. “Maybe she didn’t knowingly do it, but I doubt it. You don’t get that kind of steroid in your system by accident.” The carbon isotope ratio McGlone refers to is a well-established tool for assessing origins of substances. It’s basically a chemical signature. Pigs raised for consumption in America eat a largely corn-based diet, which typically leaves a ratio of around -18.5 to -21% ng/mL. Houlihan’s carbon isotopic signatures of 19-NA were -23%, which McGlone says indicates that it couldn’t have originated from U.S. commercial pork Also - 'Professor Christiane Ayotte, director of the WADA' - accredited doping control lab at the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique in Laval, Quebec, where Houlihan’s urine was analyzed, testified that in studies-including her own research-on NA-19 urinary concentration levels after consumption of uncastrated boar, the highest recorded reading was 2.4 ng/mL. This came from one person who consumed about 10 ounces of the meat from older boars selected for the purpose of excreting higher NA-19 levels. After adjusting for specific gravity, Houlihan’s A sample was 6.9 ng/mL and her B sample was 7.8 ng/mL. Ayotte added that the NA-19 content of Houlihan’s sample was more than double that of the most favorable (to her case) findings on boar meat, despite the athlete’s claim that she’d consumed half the amount of meat. That's the Problem that I have with her case!

Knighton IS NOT SUSPENDED!!! So stop spreading falsehood; he was acquitted from the allegation and that was why he competed in the 200m dash!!! Anti -Doping Agency are very strict, and would SUSPENDED an athlete immediately and he had proven his innocence !!! Plus, I don't understand why you are saying?!! And the Commissioner has the last say in his case if any, but he was declared innocent because of his witnesses when happened in FLORIDA and yeah, he had done well and scheduled to represent the United States of America with Noah and Kenny.. and Knighton never had taken any banned substance used to accelerate his execution so why now?!! But he ate at a restaurant in FLORIDA with family ( mother), and friend ( girlfriend) who ate the same contaminated meat when he was texted, and that was why he was acquitted... your first thought was correct, you should have left it alone until you get All the FACTS, and each case is different; recently, in Jamaica, the sprinter's time was insane, but the commentor announced that he was visited by an anti doping agent and was unclear, but he competed, won, and achieved World Leading Score for the 100m dash, and that's NOW... so you should have left that alone! Let me tell you about China in Swimming: 23 of their athletes had a banned substance in their system and claimed that they ate something in the hotel before competitions that they won Gold 🥇; 11 of those athletes are going to the Olympics in Paris... so you be the judge, what do you think 🤔 about that?!!

I think they don’t want to go into it because then they’d have to start regulating what food the athletes eat which is just going too far.

Then one day the athletes might not be constantly the ones being punished, while the entire system behind it earns a golden nose and the fans cheer for others as long as none of them are exposed. It would be transparent to allow any kind of doping, control the delivery and focus on education early on instead of constantly ruining the poor athletes' careers just because we as a society are unable to publicly accept the obvious.

[@davidmarshall760]

I wonder how much ox tail Knight ate for Trenbolone to show up in his. Sounds like he ate an entire cow.

[@Kharrison1966]

Everyone hates math, but the math doesn't add up here for Knighton. If math makes your head hurt, go to the last paragraph. Trenbolone Residue Levels: Regulatory MRLs for Trenbolone in meat are generally in the range of parts per billion (ppb). For example, an MRL might be set at 10 ppb (10 ng/g of meat). Quantity Consumed: The amount of meat a person would need to consume to reach detectable levels depends on the Trenbolone residue in the meat and the efficiency of absorption and metabolism in the human body. Calculation (Hypothetical): If an athlete consumes 500 grams (17 ounces) of ox tail with Trenbolone residue at 10 ppb, the total Trenbolone ingested would be: 500 grams × 10 ng/g = 5000 ng 500 grams×10 ng/g=5000 ng Assuming a 10% absorption rate (which can vary), the absorbed Trenbolone would be: 5000 ng × 0.1 = 500 ng 5000 ng×0.1= 500 ng This absorbed amount would then be distributed in the body and eventually excreted in urine. Urinary Concentration: If 500 ng of Trenbolone is absorbed and evenly distributed over a day with an average urine output of 1.5 liters: 500 ng/1500 mL = 0.33 ng/mL Average or reasonable consumption of ox tail BELOW the typical detection threshold. To reach 2 ng/mL in urine, KNIGHTON WOULD HAVE HAD TO EAT 102 OUNCES OF OX TAIL, provided the people raising the animals obeyed the law. Without giving you another long math equation, under normal circumstances, the statistical odds of testing positive for Trenbolone from eating ox tail with residue levels at or below the regulatory limit are extremely low, approaching zero. It's statistically impossible. Tygart is essentially giving WADA the middle finger because of their findings on China.

[@catherinegreen1152]

Wow - it would have be much clear to ALL who knows the calculation and imagine, this meat is consumed frequently. Do you know that there are vegetables we can consume to build our body - mussel fat is important for people who does certain type of activities. Your math is the best explanation for that level in the YOUNG man system. We have skills but use - not always to benefit others.

[@darrellmuhammad6079]
