At any rate- even the top Russians who have medical resources at their disposal to help them beat the tests get sprung in OCTs. Like I said I don't have an intimate knowledge of drugs and how people beat the tests but I am inclined to think its no so easy to beat the test, the issue is more about how good the testing regime is. The places where cheating is evident seem to be places where there haven't been good independent OCTs. In oz we do have a good testing regime. So I'm inclined to say PA is drug tested AND the top guys are drug free. Nothing is perfect, but I don't go for the argument that since cheating is possible the idea of drug-free is useless or not worthwhile. Ok I love this little soap box.
