Agreed ... but i think it is a good sign that she was caught. The fact that athletes from such a rich country can't get away with it is something positive, it is a positive sign that the system is working (to some degree).

Convenient.  Just in time for the 2040 Olympics.

And the horse?  We have heard those excuses before from horses.   I never trust ‘em.
