Gilman suspended for “whereabouts” violations.

Maybe the article was poorly written, but it seems to say pretty clearly that Gilman was suspended for not registering his location.

Which is hilarious because (1) it wasn't exactly a mystery; (2) the article says he's from Port Matilda, which is pretty specific.

So they couldn't be bothered to find him until it was time to hand out punishment.

For most Olympic sports (maybe all, not sure) you have to tell them where you are at all times so they can do random testing whenever they want and if you are not there it is strike one. Moot point here since he was not bothering to inform them where he was because he was no longer competing. You would think they would have a way for an athlete to tell them when they are no longer competing so they don't waste money trying to test him or her. Money that could be better spent testing athletes that ARE still competing.

Understood, but apparently they were able to find him once it came time to crack the whip.

And yes, when an athlete announces his retirement, that should be the end of it except bureaucracy.

So......you are saying that the USADA knew that Snyder was in a hotel room trying to get some.....And they did nothing? It was a set-up. Damned communists....:)

If they only saved 10 percent on what they spend on stupidity, and 1% on what they spend on corruption stuff they would have enough to allow 10 weights for wrestling and still put a couple hundred million in the bank.
