Why are long sleeves a red flag? When blood doping became against the rules, it was common for cyclists and runners to start wearing arm warmers even in the hottest weather to hide the marks so can raise suspicion. (Froome on a TdF rest day, 28°, Merckx not caring in '72.)

Doping has moved on significantly since Ivan Drago's big needle in the arm. Doping is precise, intelligent and often hidden in plain sight. The most effective drugs (testosterone, HGH, EPO etc) offer the biggest improvements but also carry the biggest career risks.

Skill games also benefit greatly from doping. Being able to practice those skills for longer and more frequently in training and then preventing fatigue so those skills and speed are not diminished in the 5th set or 85th minute is the difference between winning and losing.

We often hear there can't be doping in football 'because it's a skill game' but being able to perform as skillfully in the 80th minute as in the 5th is a huge advantage as is being able to run as fast in the second half as in the first. So football has a long history of doping.

Every single thing about someone's athletic career can scream DOPING but the only thing that sticks in the public's mind is the failed test* and athletes know it. Never take a test you can't pass. (*With enough money and spin even the damage from that can be mitigated.)

Also ask yourself, given the history of doping is documented from the first ancient Olympics of 776BC, the modern Olympics in 1896, in athletics from 1904, cycling from 1903, football from 1924, tennis from (at least) 1959 ....

For those of you who consistently argue that elite athletes don't dope or don't need to dope. Ask yourself then why anti-doping agencies were created, and continue to exist.

This is a myth. It becomes a competition between those who have the most money, can buy better and newer PEDs, afford doctors to administer them and are willing to take combinations and quantities of drugs that risk damaging their health.

Given that inhaled salbutamol is not a performance enhancer and WADA don't require a TUE for a theraputic dose via inhaler (because even in high doses it will not trigger an AAF) why do the media report athletes faling drug tests as "inhaler use."

With many doping practices flying under the radar of the average sports fan, we see EPO and steroids as bad but minimise and excuse other substances or are unaware of how seeingly innocuous drugs are misused as performance enhancers. As an example, let's use salbutamol.

Athletics in the 60s-80s in the UK was numerically HUGE; exposure to millions meant special talents were unearthed & nurtured. It’s very different now in the UK & most of Europe. It’s also well-known that most of Eastern Europe in that period ran state-approved doping programmes.

Every time. Marginal gains, oval chainrings, LZR suits, super-spikes, better nutrition, bicarbonate of soda, contact lenses, altitude training or any other explanation for unexpected progression, late career improvement or dominance. It always ends up being something else.

I see Linford Christie is being rehabilitated now. 1988: +ve for psuedoephedrine. 1994: Provided Solomon Wariso with a product containing ephedrine causing him to fail a test. 1999: +ve for nandrolone (100x the normal level) - 2yr ban.

So when we see athletes claiming a range of diagnoses it's almost certain that the medication used to treat those conditions can also be used (or misused) to enhance performance. It casts a shadow over any clean athletes with a genuine condition and raise some red flags.

She also floated the idea early on that any positive test she returned would be part of some bizarre revenge plot and definitely NOT because she was in fact doping. The scene was set. (Occam's razor?)

This attempts to put Salazar's relationship with Farah into context. In isolation, it may be possible to explain or excuse one or two of these points over the years but the whole picture makes it very difficult to reach any other other conclusion.

This must be one of the least believable excuses. His physio used a healing spray containing a steroid popular in East Germany on a small cut on his hand. He then massaged Sinner who absorbed enough of it through his skin to fail a doping test. And this happened twice?

I can't help but think that someone who defended Salazar to the end, even after his doping ban and who has since remained silent on his lifetime ban for abuse, is not the person to be assisting anyone when it comes to those in charge of athletes and their welfare.

@eliott_aime One of the complications of blood transfusions is water retention and so is Urticaria which Froome also claimed to have. He also said he had both Biharzia AND asthma which seems unlikely. After all the other lies from Sky, I'm not sure we can any explanation at face value.

Take this account of a mandatory doping test after a WR was broken in the '90s. According to this, the athlete entered with the head of doping control, signed the form and left. No sample was provided. Are big stars protected?

@theML__ No, unfortunately not. Many of the biggest frauds are simply too valuable to the sport to be allowed to be caught. Lance Armstrong's doping was covered up, Usain Bolt's samples are locked away and not available for retesting, There is no desire to upset the apple cart.
