Message: [QUOTE="awy, post: 5053169, member: 13496"] the whole anti doping system is designed in a way that assumes states are operating on the level and effective at supervision of athletes, who may potentially cheat. this is a western model. with state doping programs this entire system is less than useless, since the states enforcement entities provide cover for the programmatic cheating. u.s. does have a lot of dopers and also hand on scale enforcement or lack thereof, but not the level of theatre found in state directed doping programs. only solution is an intelligence one and that's how rus got busted. china is far less penetrable. but they do share the research and so on. trimetazidine notably taken by russian skater who got banned in 2022.
