Really Poor Timing by A. Brownlee
If you were put on two years of "double secret" probation by the ITU for using clenbuterol, wouldn't you go do Ironman, too?

Ironman will accept him just fine right now. No use in waiting to let the heat die off.

anyhoo, what's he going to do in races where he can't draf...oh, wait, never mind.
unofficial non-general counsel for TRS Racing and other TRS-related entities
On December 6 an article was published that said he was probably going to race 70.3 world champs this upcoming season as a precursor to racing Ironman Wold Champs in Hawaii.
So, the timing might look odd, but I bet he's still going to race Leeds, so there is no super secret suspension and the Ironman World Champs "announcement" looks a bit overblown since he seemed to indicate that he wouldn't be doing it until after Tokyo.
In that spirit, I would also like to announce my bid to qualify for Kona in 2021 as well.

So when BTF said the positive test wasn't a member of the elite performance program there's still a possibility the positive test was Alistair, and that they weren't lying.

ITU days vs his first IM and the decrease in swimming and running vs increase in biking.
