So the mom accidentally put one of the pills in this guy plate, well if that happened once the concentration after a long time is pretty much gone, wonder the concentration founded because with one pill I doubt you can get doped enough to win a race?

what kind of man blames his mother for his own failings in pursuing ethical sport?

seriously, what a piece of s&$!.

Ha, he just copied the excuse from the tennis player that used the same defence. He even mentioned her. Someone should compile all these excuses that have been proffered over the years, it would make a good read. Another dum dum that got caught.

How many pills were on his plate that he didn't notice one more?

This list doesn't even cover Raimondo Rumsas ("The PEDs were by mother-in-law's"), Gilberto Simoni ("The cocaine was from my South American Aunt's candy"), Paola Pezzo ("The steroids were from eating Belgian beef"), or Frank Vandebroucke ("The EPO was for my dog").

a few years we had an applicant fail his hair follicle drug test --- positive for cocaine....he said his girlfriend didn't want him taking a job 50 miles away so she put cocaine in his shampoo.
