So, do you guys really think that it's reasonable for amateur athletes to be held to the same WADA testing standards as elites/pros? Should amateurs really have to worry about trace amounts of metabolites from some banned substance being in their food just to participate in their hobby? I can't help but wonder if the testing standards for amateurs shouldn't be relaxed a bit so that they can catch the blatant cheaters without testing for tiny trace amounts of every possible banned substance (many of which have questionable benefits at best).

I just find it a little absurd that this 90 year old is getting called a cheater or worse by people who didn't even bother to read the details of his case, just because he had liver for dinner the night before a race.
