Aiphone JP-4MED Hands-free Color Video Intercom Master Station (White) Review See any errors on this page?This is one of the hardest yet most freeing letters I’ve ever written. I had a positive result for an anabolic substance when I was tested at the Masters Indoor Championships in Albuquerque. The substance was a metabolite of Dianabol, which is one of the most masculinizing substances among steroids. Users of Dianabol will have large gains of mass and water retention — up to 20 pounds in a month. Women should never take this substance due to the damaging masculinizing factors. Dianabol is contraindicative to anyone who has a genetic disposition toward breast cancer as I do since it increases the risk factors for such. It aromatizes, or turns into estrogen in the body and estrogen is a trigger for breast cancer. The level of the metabolite in my urine was labeled by the lab as “low” — 2 nanograms per milliliter is the level per WADA standards that can trigger a “low” adverse result.
To put this in perspective, a nanogram per milliliter is a “part per billion.” So the threshold for a “low” result is 2 parts per billion. One part per billion is equivalent to one drop of water in an average backyard swimming pool. The average cell in the human body weighs a single nanogram. That illustrates the minuscule amount of metabolite that was in my system, yet WADA’s strict liability policy gives no latitude for levels of detection – it’s only a binary result, positive or negative. Before this season began, I had confided to friends that, for several reasons, this was going to be my last year as a competitive athlete in masters track and field. I could no longer justify competing when I weighed it against other factors, most importantly my health. To find that I tested positive for a health-adverse banned substance when in the past I had purposely avoided taking beneficial risk-reduction breast cancer medications (due to them being banned) is irony beyond belief.
I would never knowingly take a substance that would compromise my health and femininity, and I had no changes in my appearance or in the results of my regularly scheduled blood tests that would have tipped me off that something was amiss. I was also worried sick about the possibility that I may have increased my breast cancer chances due to the aromatizing effects of Dianabol. I can’t tell you how badly this affected me – I honestly lay awake at night worrying about it. The timing of any systematic doping for me was unsupported due to foot surgery I had in November along with my nine-week recovery time. I could not begin sprinting and track training until the middle of January. To follow a typical cycle, I would have needed to start my deliberate doping approximately one week after my foot surgery in November, continue it while I was in a walking boot or a brace for the next six weeks, keep doping while I was in physical therapy and unable to sprint or train until the second week of January, and then stop right at that time in order to give the Dianabol the necessary 6-7 weeks clearance time before
There’s no advantage to doping if you are mobility-restricted after surgery. I was able to jog in the pool and lift weights for my upper body starting in December, but there was no sprint training. I couldn’t train until mid-January per doctor’s orders. I presented this logic to USADA and noted the possibility of contamination of one of the amino acid supplements I began taking in January and stopped about two weeks before the competition since I had no other source by which the substance would have entered my body. Several studies have suggested that up to 25% of supplements may be contaminated with substances that will trigger a positive drug test. The levels of contamination can be too low to be detected using routine product screening methods but high enough to trigger a positive urinalysis test. I have taken supplements for years but have always checked their ingredients against the Global DRO online lookup tool to see if any were banned substances. What I didn’t do is research the companies.
One parent company that supplied my products is based outside of the U.S. and uses raw materials sourced overseas. Their website specifically mentioned a partnership with a location in China, which is a popular source for Dianabol production. The company also had two situations involving athletes (one a U.S. bobsledder, one an NFL player) who had positive drug tests. Both athletes used products produced by the company and testing by an independent lab proved the products were contaminated with an anabolic steroid. If I had done this research, I would have quickly decided that this company was too risky. Unfortunately, I didn’t do this. I also didn’t have the empty bottles to obtain the lot number in order to submit them to an independent lab for testing. USADA told me of this option, which is very expensive and the cost is borne by the athlete. But since I didn’t have the lot number, I was unable to use this testing to prove the contamination. I released all my medical records and other supporting documentation to USADA.
After reviewing everything, their legal counsel told me they decided to do something on my behalf – they purchased my supplements and tested them — all at USADA expense. They even made a trip to a retail store to buy one of them since it wasn’t available online. The legal counsel said, “This is definitely not something that we usually do,” but my medical records showed them that systematic doping was unlikely. The difficulty was without a lot number the chance of obtaining the same contaminated lot number for either supplement consumed over six months ago was very very small. But even with this small chance, they still went ahead and did this at their own expense in order to assist with my case. Sadly, the lot numbers weren’t a match and neither supplement sample showed contamination. USADA then said they would take my medical records and petition WADA for a reduction in suspension. USADA operates under the WADA code, which is very restrictive as to reductions, but USADA still lobbied on my behalf for a reduction.
WADA agreed with USADA and gave me a 6-month reduction in the length of my 4-year suspension which began March 5, 2016. So that was the hard part. Now for the freeing part. If my doctor recommends medications, I can take them without worrying if they are banned or not. They are necessary for my health. This gives me great peace of mind. to read the comments when Ken posts his article about me. People close to me have given me their unconditional support. USADA supported my lack of intent to the point that they volunteered to bear the cost of expensive testing even with the small possibility of positive evidence. WADA agreed to a suspension reduction after reviewing all elements of my case. Regarding the negative comments or questions about my sincerity, it’s said that the best thing about the worst time in your life is that you get to see people’s true opinions of you, not what they have shown to your face. I’ve beat myself up so badly over this to the point that I’ve had enough – I’m so weary of allowing this to make me feel like an evil person.
