It isn’t out of the realm of possibility that he is drinking fast acting test.

In general I do agree though - this isn’t really part of how people would dope

Regardless, there is 0 part of me that believes Novak is clean. A tremendous champion who spit on the covid policies, lied and hid his actions? Of course he’s a drug cheat.

As most are...

If I had to give a ballpark figure for fun, I'd guess that 60-70% of professional athletes dope.

There was an anonymous test, I think it was done a while ago by the Athletics federation. 40% admitted to taking some banned substances in the last year or something like that. We can assume that it's an even higher threshold given the incentives and how cutthroat is the competition between elite athletes.

Edit: lol it was actually 57%
