If you aint cheating you aint trying.

[BoLevi]

Ya I assume she was doing her own testing and knew she would fail. Hired the wrong doctors to run her doping program.

Another Canadian cheater. Should be banned for life, along with the women's soccer team.

not that I agree with this take, but I am very curious about the what the Canadian media reaction and narrative is going to be here...

Extreme reaction without any facts

Considering the author, par for the course

It'll be silence, as always. Just look at the two posters in this thread so far and their reaction. They'd prefer to attack the person condemning the cheater than condemn the cheater themself.

No, I'm curious if there will be a witch hunt similar to dronegate or is Oleksiak a national hero above reproach? Where is the Rick Westhead hit piece???

I do think we need to wait for more info before we can judge but the actions don't look good

[MacDaddy77]

Not actually caught with PHD, was a failure of reporting location on non competition days incase they wanted to test her.

What a cheater… almost like we shouldn’t jump to conclusions without knowing the facts

[Jason14h]

That is cheating the rules of testing!

And skipping 3 tests isn't a coincidence. She already admitted guilt and took the suspension. This isn't an "honest mistake"

Everyone in that sport cheats to a degree. Her system/schedule was screwed up or she took something she shouldn't have!

Gonna apologize for jumping to conclusions or nah?

[flamingred89]

Seems more like someone who was tired of all that it entails to be an Olympian and wanted to live her life.

Huh? You're saying she didn't cheat? She admitted guilt and took the suspension, didn't contest the charge. She's not guilty of doping, she guilty of dodging doping tests.

She didn't dodge anything. She just didn't let them know she was on vacation. But sure, double down. Bye.

[MegaErtz]

I'm being as respectful here as possible. Your position is that she didn't dodge anything, other than the doping test?

From chatgpt:

Elite athletes in the WADA “Registered Testing Pool” (RTP) must:

A. Provide their location every day

They must log:

Overnight residence

Training location(s)

Competition schedule

Travel plans

B. Provide a daily 60-minute testing window

Every day, 365 days/year, they must guarantee one location where they can be found for one hour.

If a doping control officer shows up during that hour and the athlete isn’t there, it’s a missed test.

She missed THREE times. This isn't like someone went on a last minute vacation and forgot to update their calendar.

[Erick Estrada]

She was such a good story. Kind of disappointing.

[MRCboicgy]

Meh, it's not like the super greasy, systematic doping the Russians did at Sochi, probably should strip them of even more medals.

[Bill Bumface]

At this point I just assume anyone athletically elite is cheating or getting as damn close as they can without crossing the line according to their personal risk tolerance.
