RBR welcomes USADA and WADA working very hard to keep our sport clean. For the sport to grow, we have to show that the majority of athletes and coaches run, jump and throw clean. We posted Mike Rodgers grande mea culpa to his nine month suspension. He took his responsibility seriously, and accepted his judgement. We look forward to seeing him run after April 19, 2012.

This is the release from USADA:

March 1, 2012

USADA
announced today that Michael Rodgers of Hutto, Texas, an athlete in the
sport of Track & Field, has tested positive for a prohibited
substance and accepted a suspension for his doping offense.


Rodgers,
26, tested positive for methylhexaneamine (dimethylpentylamine), a
stimulant, as a result of an in-competition urine sample collected at
the Sport e Solidarieta event on July 19, 2011, in Lignano, Italy.
Stimulants are prohibited under the USADA Protocol for Olympic Movement
Testing and the International Association of Athletics Federations
(IAAF) Anti-Doping Rules, both of which have adopted the World
Anti-Doping Code and the World Anti-Doping Agency Prohibited List.


Rodgers
accepted a 9-month period of ineligibility, beginning on July 19, 2011
the day his urine sample was collected. As a result of the sanction,
Rodgers is also disqualified from any and all results obtained on and
subsequent to July 19, 2011, including forfeiture of any medals, points,
and prizes.


Rodgers
originally requested a hearing in front of independent American
Arbitration Association (AAA) panel, at which he provided inaccurate and
misleading testimony. However, before the false testimony was acted
upon by the arbitration panel, Rodgers came forward, acknowledged the
truth to the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, recognized his responsibility and
agreed to accept his sanction and to pay the full cost of the
arbitration hearing.


Rodgers
provided independent corroborating evidence that his positive drug test
resulted from the use of the supplement known as Jack3d several days
prior to a competition. Jack3d has been implicated in positive tests
involving several athletes and lists 1,3-Dimethylamylamine HCl on its
label. 


USADA
issued an athlete advisory on June 16, 2011 to make athletes aware of
the concerns regarding methylhexaneamine (dimethylpentylamine). 
Athletes subject to the WADA Prohibited List should avoid supplements
that reference methylhexaneamine, dimethylpentylamine,
1,3-Dimethylamylamine HCl, dimethylamylamine, geranium, geranamine, or
geranium stems or which purport to come from geranium oil or any
constituents of a geranium plant.  USADA’s advisory can be found on the
USADA website at http://www.usada.org/media/methylhexaneamine-and-dietary-supplements.


In
an effort to aid athletes, as well as all support team members such as
parents and coaches, in understanding the rules applicable to them,
USADA provides comprehensive instruction on its website on the testing
process and prohibited substances, how to obtain permission to use a
necessary medication, and the risks and dangers of taking supplements as
well as performance-enhancing and recreational drugs. In addition, the
agency manages a drug reference hotline, Drug Reference Online (www.GlobalDRO.com),
conducts educational sessions with National Governing Bodies and their
athletes, and proactively distributes a multitude of educational
materials, such as the Prohibited List, easy-reference wallet cards,
periodic newsletters, and protocol and policy reference documentation.


USADA
is responsible for the testing and results management process for
athletes in the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Movement, and is equally
dedicated to preserving the integrity of sport through research
initiatives and educational programs.
