Lol. You’re now changing your question from has anyone else gotten a pass to pulse to was it the norm prior to jones???
the financial incentive for usada and smrtl (wada lab) was not “immense”. More downside than upside.
I haven't changed anything. I have given you my explanation to your question "yes...does that change anything for you".
Questions and answers are not black and white without elaboration. A simply yes with no qualifications or no without qualifications.
it COULD honestly change my view if you could provide some fighters names and examples of 'allowed pulsing' where the governing testing body allowed the fight to happen regardless of high steroid detection limits that otherwise would see the fighter suspended.
But the truth is if the 'exceptions' are only 'once' prior or even a 'few' prior and it is ONLY for big name fighters in big fights I will still be skeptical. WHich is what you asked me.
Am i skeptical that Danial Cormier made weight fairly in that big fight? Yes. I think no minor fighter gets that pass and only a similar big name would. Or Jones failing for Cocaine and still getting to fight? Yes.
I will happily review your examples of prior 'pulsing' and they might indeed change my view. And that is a fair position to hold. I DO NOT have to say 'no matter the example you give me i will state now it will change my view regardless of what that situation happens to be'.
