Any system of justice that hurts innocent people is an illegitimate system, or at least a system in need of some serious questions being asked.

I don't know how innocent I would consider him.

Okay.

I think that there is some plausible evidence that you could consider.

I don't know that I would describe him as the most sympathetic character, but let me give you an example.

I know you might sound, to certain people, this sounds so laughable, but this is exactly the point.

There used to be something, it still exists, called strict liability.

You ever heard of this?

No.

The notion of strict liability was that imagine that you go to take a piss test or a blood test, whatever, and all of a sudden you didn't do anything wrong.

You did exactly what you were supposed to do, but somehow they flagged that you had a metabolite for, I don't know, some kind of steroid in your system.

You're like, how can this be?

this this doesn't even make sense i didn't even use anything but the rule of strict liability is that you are strictly liable for it it doesn't matter how it got in there it's your problem but something happened along the way recently and what they discovered was that there is so much cross contamination in the world

that they've had to be much more specific around what threshold shows up because they're having a hard time distinguishing from what's just been contaminated versus like somebody actually took something in your body, digested it, and you might say, well, where is this showing up?

In pharmaceutical drugs that are prescribed by your doctor, it will just have something else on it.

You could get prescribed, literally, I'm going to make up something, an antibiotic, and the antibiotic is laced with

We had very small amounts, but some kind of prohibited substance.

They found it for a gymnast.

This is true.

I'm not in any way exaggerating this in tap water.
