Mikey,
You do realize the supplement crap is likely BS. Like Mark and the andro? You also realize that testing includes ratios of normal hormones? It doesn't just test for "banned" substances. Athletes should know 100% what they put in their bodies. Not knowing is not an excuse. He's likely a cheater and got popped for it. Sucks but how life is.

Thremp, did you actually read the papers I posted? The claim isn't that Sherk accidentally took nandrolone, but that he never took it at all. The test for nandrolone does not actually test for nandrolone directly; it tests for a derivative of it. There are many papers which indicate that an athlete can test positive for the derivative of nandrolone from taking 100% legal supplements that contain absolutely no nandrolone.
Don't be so quick to assume that some arbitrary number decided on by bureaucrats without a solid scientific basis definitely proves that someone took nandrolone.
