Had a visit from USADA today. Super nice people. They spend alot of money doing this testing. Airfare and rental car with two salaries. This is the fourth time Jack has been tested since 2009. First time from USADA. All elites keep your whereabouts updated. I was told more testing this year then in the past.

I made a joke on Face Book about this....
"Athletes tell USADA more about their lives than their parents."
They do come a calling at the most unusual of times. They come to South Bend a lot.

Why more testing than in the past? Just curious.

They would not say. They gave out very little info at all.

I would think they test more in Olympic years than any other year, just makes sense to me! I hate it though haha

They've also got this new biological passport program which may be prompting more tests.

Ok so what is a biological passport? Dont mean to sound dim but drug screening/testing seems pretty clear cut.....................one would think.

Wow! There is a concerted effort to leave no stone unturned in the war against doping......that is a good thing and hopefully the biological passport will prevent errant decisions.
