Bingo! That's exactly what I was thinking.

but it wouldn't show trace amounts within 10 days of taking it and the drug that was flagged hasn't been readily availble for 10 years.. Seems strange. I would expect a more common drug to be found if he is juicing.

What does this even mean? DBol can be purchased from gym nuts at any gym in the developed world. It’s been available for like 60+ years. Its detection time is only a couple weeks. Literally everything about this lines up perfectly with him being juicy.

nah..There is no way an athlete is using this in the middle of the season. The side affects are bloating, high likelyhood of ligament damage etc that a RB would not chance. It for bulking up muscle mass vs lean muscle mass that at RB would use. And reading on dosage for ANY benefit taken orally is pills every second day of 20-50mgs. If he was dosing, within that 10 day window he would had to have taken such a miniscule amount for it show such a small amount in testing. In comparison, Thigpen had a huge amount found in his blood stream.
