The Honest Truth

On the face of it, this is coming across (at least to me) as a pretty innocent and a very stupid mistake. For five years she was taking it to enhance her performance. OK. But it wasn't a prohibited substance. Then on January 1 2016 it became a prohibited substance and, well, she didn't get the memo. Busted at the Australian Open in January.

Whatever the honest truth is here, you have to admire her for stepping up instead of lawyering up. She played it the way you wish Bonds, McGwire, et. al. had played it.

Can't give her a bye on this, though, even if it was an innocent mistake. The elites can't play by different rules.
