Rrrrr. Working so hard not to understand!! Measured above threshold and confirmed by b sample equals an AAF. Boop! The finding was adverse. They really did! And it really was! After that it's just up to whoever to decide if they believe the dog ate my homework story. Except in this case...

Re: Re: Dopity-dope-doper!! Statistically proven to have gained > 15% FTP in a 3 week period. All that's left is to pick the method. Motors, blood, chemicals... Who cares! John Swanson
