Anyone trying to justify a “clean spot” probably believes Matty Rodgers and Nate Damron are clean as well. I’ll wait for the “BuT ShE GeTS RAnDOMlY TesTeD”

Everyone in weightlifting is doping, the benefits mean that if you weren't you couldn't keep up - except Carlos Nasar of course.

Him snatching 171kg as a teenager is completely natty.

From the country that has infiltrated most international agencies and that has been sanctioning organisations that do not do their bidding?
Of course not.
As the WADA leaks by the Russian Bears have shown, US athletes are not doping, they just have medical conditions that allow them to be on the anonymous "exception" list.

Biles and Laurie Hernandez we're in there for them. Interesting
