The crazy thing about most running events is that even compared to other sports, it's such a sport of pure physicality. Obviously there's strategy, especially in the biggest races-but at the end of the day, physicality is the limiting factor. I feel like why doping is such an issue within sprints and distance is running is precisely because of this: In a sport like tennis, there are 'soft skills'-you ability to control a point, how consistent and dangerous you are with groundstrokes, etc. Being super doped up doesn't necessarily improve these aspects because they're not directly tied to physicality; for example, most 7ft players who can serve ridiculously fast are nowhere near the top of the (singles) rankings, because their physical height advantage often comes at the cost of these soft skills. On the other hand, running competitively is almost directly tied to physicality. Obviously there's the distinction to be made between aerobic and anaerobic fitness. But at the end of the day, you will run as fast as your body will take you. That's why doping is so much more prominent (or at least impactful), for runners than in other sports. This is not specifically tied to the Asinga case; just an observation I made about the running world.

I think the word you're looking for is genetics lol. At the end of the day, your potential is limited in a sport as straightforward as track and field. I agree with where you're coming from in tennis though. I play(ed) competitively and it is ultimately about strategy and matchups. Champions have had a variety of builds and playstyles, but you're also actively "battling" against each other to negate the other. (Kind of like boxing). Once you meet your physical ceiling in track, that's it. Nothing and nobody outside yourself can adjust that. It's basically a competitive showcase of straightforward physical limits whether you run or throw.

This is one of the most respectful (idk is that the word?) videos ive seen regarding athletics and doping. You actually choose to stay away from the "athlete is intentionally malicious in their doping" narrative that most outlets dive in headfirst in how to explain doping cases, but you actually go into the wider dynamics behind why some athletes are incentivized, convinced or cornered into cheating, from coaches, scholarships and sponsorships, to how they are preyed upon by lawyers or other groups of people. This is a view that is SORELY lacking from the absolute outrage-bait takes most people do, and direct it to structures & systems behind the competitive scene. amazing job :--)

Completely different situation where it was proven beyond the balance of probabilities that he had a negligible amount in his system and the meat from the restaurant was tested and found to be contaminated as well. Key difference in Asinga's case was the gummies from the same lot had vastly different results, which would be out of the norm.

@@amimi92 Who is Erriyon's lawyer? Also you must realize it's not a theory that certain athletes are protected from the consequences of positive drug tests. Read "Speed Trap" by Charlie Francis. Plenty of behind the scenes accounts directly from athletes, coaches, doctors ect. that Charlie spoke to as a sprinter himself then later as a coach. Rae Edwards (former US and later Nigerian sprinter, ran a clean 10.01 if I recall) has also exposed this system where if you connect to certain people you get enhancements with benefits and never fail a drug test because they're on the inside controlling the testing. Rae met with them at a dinner and rejected the offer but brought another athlete as a witness. He'd also been in a room with top sprinters in 2009 where they were being injected with a supposedly legal substance and were given very technical projections on where they would place and what their peak sprint times would be at that year's world championships. They could calculate an estimate how much time their formula would take off of a natural sprinter's time. Basically they estimated Rae would run 9.8. Rae said he ran faster then ever leading up to the champs but got injured and still managed to run just as fast as he used to naturally. This information was revealed in a since deleted live stream that I saw in which Rae was drinking and very upset that someone allegedly on drugs (Coleman) was disrespecting him in response to Rae criticizing his sprint form. Rae also revealed that he had text messages on certain athletes like Coleman and other evidence that could bring down quite a few people. People watching were saying to at least wait until after the Olympics before exposing them because they wanted to enjoy it before things get messed up. It's entertainment at the end of the day for many which is why it's not in the best interest of these anti-doping bodies to actually catch all the athletes. It would mess up the sport and take money out of pockets of some powerful individuals as well as corporations. I personally hate the drugs because I know there are better (and much healthier) natural options but not everyone wants to do the research and experiment with those until the find what's best for them.

This year there was an American TV show about the "main character energy" guy, hyping him up, giving him all the attention. They needed him to win in Paris. Considering the end part of this video and how absurd the situation with Knighton is according to the author himself, I would absolutely not be surprised that some athletes are targets of "doping attacks". Natasha Hastings once said: "you don't ever even leave a bottle of water unattended". There is zero transparency in how these doping cases are handled, so it makes it impossible to believe anything.

Zero tolerance for cheaters, not matter the age or whatnot. As a deterrent. We need to protect clean athletes that see their own (and their family, as you mentioned) opportunities, achievements, sponsorship, etc. taken from cheaters. Because dopers might get punished, yet honest athletes never get compensated for their lost opportunities. Those dirty lawyers should use their shady tactics to pursue exorbitant financial compensations from the Armstrongs of the sports (still wealthy and worldwide famous) to the honest (and forgotten) athletes that finished behind them.
