There is a lot of misinformation floated in track and I want to add to the correct information.
First, Carmelita Jeter did not return to LA until after London, so the report that said she had returned home before London is false, not to mention impossible. The week prior she ran in Athens and Rethymo.
Secondly, since she has been home she has been tested three times, including a blood test. All in the span of 5 days. Normally, this information is not publicized for one reason or another, but I am tired of the cloak and dagger in the name of self importance. Perception is reality in track and I am adding some reality to improve the perception.
This is not the first time I have heard of an athlete being tested multiple times in a short span, I have seen an athlete tested twice at the same time. As the one tester was walking off the track through one gate the other tester walked through another gate.
And the randomness of drug testing is not as random as advertised. There is a specific pool of names and the only random thing is what name is pulled. After this week I am doubting that randomness also.
For the super curious, that is Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday she has been tested. I now return you to your regularly scheduled program
