Another “my supplement was contaminated with Ostarine” situation
Let us speculate about the supplement... if the story is as told, I hope the supplement company is held responsible

The part I keep getting hung up on is him saying he didn’t even know what Ostarine was until the positive test. Been mentioned quite a bit the last year or two and I don’t even get tested.

If you are a "pro", and don't know what it is, then IMO, you have not even begun to fulfill the basic requirements of professional conduct and should be stripped of your pro status.
This sport needs serious pros!!!!!

So if you are buying your supplements from a proper above board company and you feel they are contaminated then there better be lawsuits because they are apparently doing illegal things. Or you knowingly decided to take a substance you know has it in it (which apparently is easy enough to find in the body building world says Google hit #2).
AM I RIGHT?!?!?!?

It sucks if truly inadvertent, but my sympathy is running low for this. Supplements testing positive (or using that as an excuse) has been in the news for a long time. As a professional you need to do your homework. How can you not know what Ostarine is? Did he train on this supplement everyday for years? How did trace amount in one batch lead to a positive?
The sheer lack of any drug testing in long distance triathlon, and the amount of ostarine "contaminated" positives, should show that the supplement industry is totally fucking bogus.
He had Herbalife as a sponsor on his kit, probably as a Wattie Ink team sponsor. I hope he has enough sense to not use that crap. If I used supplements, I wouldn't touch a Herbalife supplement with a ten foot pole attached to a remote control drone.
I didn't know Herbalife was a thing in the states still. I know it's really big in South America still, or was last year. I'll give him a pass there and hope he's just an up and comer doing what he has to do. Guess they don't do salt pills though?

Some will argue he should out them, however he can make more money on this settlement than he will ever make as a mid-tier pro triathlete. He will likely be able to get a reduced suspension and return to racing with some cash in his pocket to fuel his hobby - whether he races as a pro or AGer. Sure his reputation will be damaged, but based on most comments on these situations that's not going to change whether or not he wins a lawsuit. He, and anyone else who tests positive, are pretty much in a no win situation from a reputation standpoint.

Off the record, I'll give you a baker's dozen of HJs for some of those ostarine tabs salt supplements

No athlete is safe. Think of the poor 350lb DT from Clemson that got popped. Could be hair gel or acne cream! (I give points for originality.) And is it common that teams test athletes? To me that raised my suspicion that they constantly test to make sure they are doping at correct levels.
