You are defending an organization that let a fighter go based on a bogus study put out by a guy who used himself as a test subject, r
As far as Jon”Picgrams” Jones case, I’m going by the words of Jeff Novitsky, who specifically cited the Russian study as to why USADA let Jones go, as well as California.
Ok, this is the study where the guy conducted it based on a single dose of turinabol administered on himself.
Hes a German, and the study is from 1996. He administered a single dose to himself and discovered two new metabolites. (but this is totally unrelated to Jones anyway because its different metabolites)

Some dude on youtube found that study, confused that with the Russian 2012 study and made a huge video about how Rodchenkov tested on himself and only took turinabol once, which was totally wrong. Luke THomas tweeted the video saying how great it was, and I can only presume you watched that video and came out with utterly the wrong end of the stick. The video was completely innacurate. the dude had completely the wrong study. The wrong authors, the wrong country, and 15 years out of date.
But.. It is neither the Russian study (Rodchenkov/Sobolovsky), nor the Miller/Moore/Eichner study on clomiphine pulsing. It was the Eichner study on clomiphine pulsing that cleared Jones. Novitzky only brings up the Rodchenkov/Sobolovsky study when citing the detection window of the short and mid term metabolites. That is not what cleared Jones. What they cited in clearing Jones is the Miller/Moore/Eichner paper on clomiphine.
But again, I can see your confusion because while Jeff cites the detection window of the mid and short term metabolites from the Rod/Sob paper, that is not the justification for clearing him as that paper has already been proven unreliable as far as excretion data goes. The paper he cites for clearing him is the Miller paper.
To my knowledge, Jeff has NEVER cited the Schanzer paper (the guy who tested on himself). I doubt he ever will, in fact its highly likely he isnt even aware of its existence.
Please just accept that your claim of "bogus study of a guy who used himself as a test subject" is completely and utterly wrong. You have (understandably) mixed up three studies more than 30 years apart.
At some point you need to realise you have got everything very muddled and just step back and say, "ok.. i dun fucked up" and we can move on. And its fine. Its understandable. Its not your area of expertise.
THAT SAID. The Miller/Eichner paper they use for justifying clearing jones of pulsing is complete and utter horseshit. They completely fail to demonstrate that "pulsing" per their definition is present in clomid, let alone in a long term metabolite of turinabol. Its total smoke and mirrors from Novitzky
