22. The Advantage Gained Is Still Extant

Tue Feb 15, 2022, 12:23 PM

Feb 2022

She tested positive 6 weeks ago. That probably means the doping stopped 10 weeks ago.
The performance enhancement gained is not dependent on the presence of the drug or metabolites.
The compounds could be completely out of her system, but the performance enhancement will last as long as she continues to train.
So, how far back it goes, absent the words MONTHS or YEARS in the discussion, is not relevant as her performance is still enhanced by the breaking of rules.
