Re 200m candidates, Brown has looked ominous and could be a threat behind Thomas, who must be the favourite. It might be a blanket finish though.
The WCTs themselves she may be fine particularly if she sticks to one event. Bouncing back from NCAA and WCT competition for the WCs may be the bigger issue.

NCAA Regionals....her next adventure...are prelims and shouldn't be all that taxing for her. The NCAA meet itself will require 2 races in the 100m, 200m, and 4 x 100m and possibly the 4 x 400m although it's possible they could sit her until the final for the longer relay assuming she runs it.

(I note championship setting because pro athletes timelines are way different, so the one-off meets they run against NCAA athletes arent as relevant. ex LSU Joe May Invite)

The only data that seems to get published in places I've looked is aggregate data that doesn't identify individuals and positive tests where athletes and their offence details are published. Even the offence publication varies in detail depending on the country according to this somewhat dated but excitingly titled 2017 report:
An evaluation of the anti-doping laws and practices in the EU Member States in light of the General Data Protection Regulation
Go to Section 5.10 Analysis and Publication of Data for some background (or read the whole thing if you want to test your sanity!).

I don't think there will be a Euro version because there are multiple testing agencies involved, either based in individual countries or groups of countries or third party providers.

Exactly. Why on earth anyone would expect there to be a European-wide database, when there is no European testing agency, is beyond me. A non-existent database based on a geographical continent also has nothing to do with the NCAA not fully aligning to WADA, but hey, some people just get a wee bit defensive and like to have a dig, rather than just accept a fact. 🤷
Your snarky/sneaky little asides leave you wide open to digs.

Not at all, it's not a pro-European/anti-America perspective, it's an anti-drugs perspective. There's plenty of doping in European countries, which I am more than happy to discuss, but this has nothing to do with the conversation I was having, which was about potential reasons why some US College athletes go backwards in form when they go pro (you know this, of course)
I'm stating a well known fact, that NCAA testing protocols are not aligned to WADA, which is an issue. But rather than just accept and acknowledge that, gm was trying to be smart. But it failed.
I'd actually turn this around on it's head, and say American posters are far too defensive about college sports testing, play down it's significance and cannot stand any criticism of it. But hey ho.Last edited by Wiederganger; 05-25-2022, 09:35 AM.

Rather than continue to change the course of this thread, if you want to continue this discussion further, feel free to DM me, I'm more than happy to debate this off line. 😗
