Ah... It was about the substances that she managed to find in various food and suppliments that she purchased. Using the test to detect synthetic testosterone... Because it's a banned substance, you see. She found it in a variety of suppliments. From the likely suspects of athletic suppliments (from websites where one might be fairly correct in thinking people ordering from there would be pleased about this) to things like... Deer velvit or whatever. Stuff targeting old people.
The concern is that athletes could be taking this stuff and end up testing positive and losing their athletic scholarships / places on Olympic teams and so on.
Australia has a 'no excuses' drug policy. So that means athletes need to be careful to not eat anything that may be contaminated because they can't plead ignorance.
New Zealand does not. That means that there there no structures in New Zealand to make it really considered awful horrible comtemptable for coaches or for suppliment companies or whatever to put really rather hefty doses in our food products in order to see what happens to the team (or whatever)... And the athletes can just play dumb as they are... The coaches can reccommmend suppliments and the like. That doesnt' happen in Australia everyone is told it is their own personal responsibility to be clean (and so avoid anything that might be contaminated)...
Anyway... She found quite a lot of contamination in our processed food.
I think she's still kicking around...
I have been wondering recently if our 'strong women' phenomenon (particularly Waikato) is something to do with the dairy there. Hormonal. The estrogens or whatever to keep the cows persistently lactating. I don't know if it... In the water supply, or maybe in the milk itself or, I don't know... I wonder if it is... Emasculating, in some way. Or... I don't know.... But I suspect it is something like this...
