i'm just curious if you (or others) will actually quit the sport when it is time to test and you are an hour late.
if clean guys leave the sport, that is sad, and it would be another shameful thing about what doping --or the impression of it -- does to an amateur sport.
(i suspect you are clean but i'd never place any money on you, or pretty much anyone else, being clean; that is no disrespect to you.)
I wouldn't focus too much on the personal part of that. It's mostly irrelevant. Guys on the same team don't know what one another are doing, I'd hardly place cartesian certainty on a guy I never met from an internet forum.
The important point I think is that for the overwhelming majority of folks this is a hobby. That which adds complexity to the hobby impacts the reality of their lives. So it's inline with the part about clean guys leaving the sport.
