Cam vs. Sage

Jessy Carveth for Marathon Handbook did the lord’s (lady’s?) work of compiling the whole online drama:

At the time of writing, Hanes has not been charged with a rules violation. His Eugene result stands. His age-group win stands. His 2011 blog post is still up. His Instagram comments to Canaday are still public. He has gone on his own podcast and confirmed, in his own words, that he used a banned peptide.

Canaday is not claiming Hanes used BPC-157 at Eugene specifically. He is saying the public admission of using a banned substance during the same competition window is enough to refer to USADA, and that placing in the age group at a USATF championship while doing so breaks the rules athletes sign up to follow.

That is where this sits for now. The Eugene result is on the books. Hanes is back home in Oregon. Canaday’s tip is with USADA. Whatever happens next will happen on the agency’s timeline, not the podcast’s.

Worth a read if you want to catch up with the various events on the timeline without the emotions and comments on social media. Not sure where I stand on all this, but I thought it’s worth sharing as there are a lot of conversation floating around about what “community and culture” really is and who’s the arbiter of it all.
