Here at MHE and 303 we love clean competitors and think cheaters suck! If you agree, you are going to love this interview. If you cheat, you may not love it, (and you probably soiled yourself listening to that letter), but you're going to want to listen to this interview. We have USADA Education Manager Tammy Hanson and USAT Safe Sport Sr. Coordinator Shelbi Meyer. We know you are curious about testing in our sport. Are there dopers? Are they getting caught? What are the risks of supplements? Is my prescription drug safe? All those questions are going to be answered today.
Welcome to Episode #165 of the Mile High Endurance podcast. Mile High Endurance is your weekly connection to coaches, experts and pro athletes to help you reach your endurance and triathlon goals.
We're your hosts coach Rich Soares, coach Khem Suthiwan and 303 Chief Bill Plock. Thanks for joining us for another week of endurance interviews and discussion.

Imagine you come home from work and grab the mail from the mailbox. You thumb through the envelopes and see a letter from US Anti-Doping Agency. Your breathing becomes shallow. You slide a finger under the fold and tear the letter open. You're heart starts pounding. You begin to read. You notice your forehead becomes cool with the bead of sweat forming on your brow. "Dear [Bill], The United States Anti-Doping Agency collected the following Sample(s) from you (Sample Number(s): XXX on [date] at the [event]. There's a lump in your throat. We are pleased to inform you that the reported results do not indicate the presence of any prohibited substance and/or method. We may retest or analyze any Samples for future reference." You breathe a sigh of relief.
