[Vault-emort]

I see she's playing the God card, bless her.

she can run OT while under appeal

Well, at least that is less bizarre than letting Demi Payne compete in the Trials after she had failed a test that was not announced yet!

It’s always once they’re caught that people think the system isn’t fit for purpose!

McNeal gets 5-year ban.... see story on home page

ps--CAS will hear the case

The AIU operates independently of WA.

Does it though? It was formed by WA(then still the IAAF) and is funded by them.

I should know this, but why is World Athletics back in the business of anti-doping? I thought that was why WADA/USADA was formed - to avoid the conflict of interest that is inherent in sports testing their own athletes.

sounds like a case of time/date manipulation to me

Trying to substitute something other than her own 'product'?

Yes, not wording I have seen before. So, not an adverse result, not a missed test...but somehow interfering with the process of collecting the sample and managing the results. This could be a number of things I guess, from trying to influence the DCO directly during sample collection, to maybe trying to influence/lie/bribe someone from whichever testing agency took the sample or tried to take the sample, outside of the disciplinary process. So, for example, maybe she had a third missed test, and outside of the formal investigation process she has approached USADA/whoever to try and persuade and influence the decision.

We shall have to wait and see, but this could be her career over as it would be her second violation, so an 8 year ban...

Brianna Rollins-McNeal provisionally suspended for tampering within the results management process, announced the AIU just now

hmm, I see that:

The AIU said it charged Rollins-McNeal with “tampering within the results management process,” but did not specify details of the case.

not that I have any idea what that means.
