I’ll copy what I said in another thread.
Turinabol can be taken without PCT.
So Jon gets caught with Turinabol (metabolites) in his system a few months after his suspension for PCT drugs (metabolites) has ended.
what a coincidence!
People will argue “pulsing” the basis of
1) Lack of short term metabolites found in his samples
2) Intermittent positive and negative samples in a short time period
to which I’d respond
1) Research was specifically aimed to find long term metabolites because short and medium term metabolites are hard to find. Why develop a test for long term metabolites if testing for short and long term metabolites was sufficient.
2) The intermittent positive and negative tests are not due to fat sequestering but rather specific gravity of samples. Travis Tygart (CEO of USADA) says as much in an interview with OTB sports.
I can only presume that positive samples were less diluted than negative samples otherwise he wouldn’t chalk up “pulsing” to variances in specific gravity.
"He tested positive the day before and negative that day because of his specific gravity (the amount of water in his system during his weight cut)."
To be fair he also says the following
“Jones
got 15 months because the evidence, the negative test before, the negative test immediately after, showed that there was no way he took an intentional dose to enhance his performance. The test result would have been much higher than the test result which was bookended by a negative and a positive test”
If variances in specific gravity explain away the appearance and disappearance in samples then how could the appearance and disappearance be used to exonerate Jones?
seems to me that he’s contradicting himself.
