What does matter is that Dry wasn't home that day, which is where he said he'd be. And that when authorities asked him where he really was, he told them he'd gone fishing when, in truth, he'd taken a trip to visit his folks.
But when the doping control officer knocked on Dry's door, he wasn't home. Given Dry's status in the British anti-doping system -- he was part of the country's less-scrutinized "national testing pool" -- his no-show that day would count as the first of three strikes that would have to accrue to elevate him into the "registered testing pool.
"When I received the email informing me of a missed test I panicked and said I was out fishing," Dry explained. "I did not want to have a strike against my fully clean record and so opted for what I now know was completely the wrong decision." But UKAD appealed and won when a new panel offered a different interpretation of Article 2.5 of the world anti-doping code -- the tampering rule being applied to Dry's case.
Every bit as head-scratching was Dry's lie. In his interview with the AP, he explained that he was still on painkillers in the wake of a difficult hip surgery that had sidelined him for months.
Wow. If a fib like this got him that much, what should happen to the politicians then?
And yet NFL players are hailed as heroes, guilty of wife beatings, drugs, dog fighting... Yup, top notch reporting, ctv. How about you get an on site report for us from Trudeaus lakefront cottage, where tax payers are paying for his estranged wife and mom to stay?
