@smithbell81 And you say CrossFit has no potent anti-drug program!

@olboodog This is a very interesting point which underscores the real problem which is that in CF one can only appeal a decision with the very same organization that has just made the decision. No independent avenue is allowed by CrossFit to appeal their decisions.

@lilkaos82 Yes and no. She was not in the registered testing pool of athletes who are required to let HQ know where they can be reached at all times a la the WADA system. So how was she supposed to comply?

@christhasrisen2000 There's no way forward. I'll quote myself from yesterday: "A bit tangential, but it always botherd me that beacuse it's not under one top brand, 'gym training' is never considered - at least in CF circles - to have impacted a lot more lives positively. Don't tell me that...

@anonymous258 Apperently Castro has some limitations in programming if he can't test extensively on the specific site and with good enough athletes.

@orthodoxlady1994 You know, Castro had to squeeze in 15 events only because it was the 15th Games. But the human elements and logistics are limitations so how 'elegantly' solved the problem.

@praynmama I think we are looking at the same thing differently. Let's say if you compete in bench pressing only you can be elite without having GPP (let's assume it's true). I'm saying that if you compete in a crossfit type sport in which a huge portfolio of specific skills and capacites...

@praynmama First of all, I did not say that every single programming detail should be released. Second of all, when you have 13-15 events GPP will be tested and needed even if you know what the events are. What I meant is: season dates cuts at different competitions costs, minimum prizes...

@elahopes Annie said that she wouldn't be on it when she returns to competition. Hobart also competed this year. I haven't heard anything since the initial announcement. I'm pretty sure it's non-functioning or weightless. Especially since CF HQ is OK with not disclosing important details...

@pamark1 Not long ago I called it "Castro's BUD/S trauma". But let's just call it imprint. The jury is out whether this is good testing for fitness, but at least CastroFit has a clear track record regarding this attitude!

@blacktophat I don't think specific lane assignments are available. You either catch the intro section of a broadcast when (if) they show it for the upcoming heat with on screen graphics, or you calculate yourself daily from the leaderboard and the number of lanes they use for the specific...

@casterberry She was good, but I was amazed at what I saw in terms of being unprepared generally. People fighting their sunglasses. Not being able to decide what to wear, including headgear. Drinking water from closed bottles from the stand instead of their own helpers handing them electrolyte...

@sanders1031 Ka yack

@emsw You are wrong. CrossFit HQ is perfect with well-thought out rules and procedures that are always published in time so it's only fair that they can punish somebody when they can't make sure that they successfully followed one rule.

@giftsigns I've said it a hundred times here: it is a fact that she is close to 15 lbs heavier than she was in 2018 (and I'm not at all sure if she is any stronger). That has to have some negative consequences and therefore it is still amazing that she can podium.

@minimunchkin Her high school is 10 minutes from CF New England. And it was not obvious before that CompTrain sucks if it indeed does.

@nonamend D Speegle is overrated.

@giftsigns Yeah, I wish I had a better sense or intel on what is happening. Tha Capitol can be tricky, it had two heavy implement components. Maybe she did't peak for running? Or she got cought out by the sled lane?
