EPO = minor doping offence? really?

 

p.s. that's the most they can be sanctioned with for this kind of infraction (based on the MLB Players Association CBA)...

 

CBA = Collective Bargaining Agreement

Yes, I know that EPO is not a minor doping offence for any serious sports organization...that was to point out once again the ridiculousness of their bans. Losing a maximum of 6 months of salary is not enough if players can dope heavily in order to be offered multi-year contracts for tens of millions of dollar, risking only a fraction of their salary but not their career.

Three American eventers suspended for 1 year. Mostly for amfetamine....
