Imagine racing in the 90s at the highest level and claiming not having known about EPO. I was 18 back in 1992 when I figured out what the elite does - as a measly amateur! Oh, just 7 years before Fritschy here. GTFO.

UFC fighter tests +ve twice for Ostarine. Combat Sports Anti-Doping (CSAD) decided that the ingestion was 'unintentional', so 6 month ban. Panel decided that the low levels found did not provide her with "any significant performance advantage". ufc.com/news/statement-on-jaโ€ฆ

This is separate, from 2017.
Given the recent accusations of cheating aimed at a certain Premier League club, I'm surprised that this story from 2019 has gone under the radar๐Ÿ‘‡

๐ŸšจBREAKING. The WBC has confirmed that it will take no action against Lawrence Okolie falling his postive PED test on 8th April 2026 The WBC stated that "Mr. Okolie fully cooperated with the WBCโ€™s review and provided extenuating evidence supporting his position that the prohibited substance entered his system as a result of the actions of a third party, without his knowledge or consent. The WBC considered that mitigating evidence, together with Mr. Okolieโ€™s unblemished testing history and cooperation throughout the process when reaching the agreed resolution."

From Dopeโ€ฆ ENGLISH FOOTBALL. BILLIONS IN REVENUE. AND HOW MUCH GOES TOWARDS CATCHING DRUG CHEATS? According to an investigation by Simon Briggs of The Telegraph and Edmund Willison, English football invests just 0.04% of its revenue in catching drug cheats. The figures don't prove that football has a widespread doping problem. The FA has maintained that doping in English football is rare. But that raises an obvious question: how confident can we be about the scale of a problem if relatively little money is dedicated to finding it? Cycling has spent years living with the consequences of its doping scandals. Football has largely avoided the same reputational reckoning. Is that because the problem is smaller โ€“ or because the scrutiny is different? When the stakes are this high, integrity shouldn't be an afterthought. #Football #PremierLeague #Doping #SportIntegrity #Dope
