Yup. That’s understandable though. My comment was sarcastic and people don’t understand sarcasm anymore. It’s a witty person thing

While I’ve never been in a continuous testing program I have been at a level where I’ve been tested in competition so I have some appreciation of the responsibilities of an athlete as I’ve competed against them. I can well imagine the attraction of going “fuck it!” And not updating your location as often as you should.

Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, three times is a pattern…

Thanks for clarifying.
On her insta she says she retook every test and passed them all. So at that point, I think you are right that - as unbelievable as I may have found it at first - accidental is correct.

I simply meant a genuine case of it being accidental and not malicious - I did not comment on the rights and wrongs of the process as I’m actually a strong advocate of these penalties to prevent PEDS usage.

What do you mean by genuine case? That she has a case to appeal this?
I don't think that's how it works. Or at least it shouldn't. Yes, rules like this always place a bigger burden on people outside the norm, such as people with mental health issues, but at the end of the day it is very, very well known that world-class athletes always have to be available for testing or at least update their whereabouts. At the very least someone in her circle should be on top of this. Specifically after two strikes. Additionally, you can't just say "I'm done competing for this year" and that stops testing. Arguably that's exactly the point where there should be more tests, because a long period of not competing right before the Olympic season is where you would run a nice series of gear if that were what you are doing, to get the most out of that time.
Not saying she has done anything. She's not accused of that, but the system is in place the way it is for very good reasons and there seems to be no doubt that she did miss those tests.

I guess he’ll just have to settle for the $32.6M. Poor bastard.

Of the 2 teams, there’s far more evidence saying he’d go to the Vikings over the Bears. For 1 the Bears will still have a starter in Fields whereas everyone is expecting this to be the last season for Cousins as a Viking

You just need to take 1 look at his run of HC/OC. Adding that to playing through a cavalcade of injuries doesn't help anyone.
If he'd started the 2018 season, Browns likely finish 9-7 and Baker with 30 TD passes. It was already close, but I genuinely think its one of the greatest rookie seasons of all time. The inconsistency above him after that did nothing but hurt him.
