Your anecdotal experience with tbol is meaningless (especially if you're referring to bodybuilding), as it has been proven for decades for athletic use, scientifically. It was developed specifically for the purpose, and works as intended, as has been proven for many many years going back to the 1960's. It is especially great for MMA, because it keeps strength and lean mass up during a cut (that may help explain Jon gets popped before fights, and not in between them). This is obviously very irrelevant to bodybuilding.

I do agree that it is possible that he got caught up in some weirdness with the tests, especially if they are looking at minute amounts. If picograms are meaningless, why bother testing that strictly? Especially when the margin of error goes up each time you test finer. Keep in mind though, that the amount he tested for this time was potentially higher than the amount he tested for last year. (60 pg vs a range of 20-80)

Should be noted that Tom Lawlor tested for an even smaller amount of an unproven substance (ostarine, a SARM) and had the book thrown at him. And many others I'm sure. So whatever the circumstances are, the dance they are doing to accommodate the results is still disgusting. The card would be FINE without him.

I also agree that people just need to get over the vilification of steroids, and just accept their use. If you want people to keep getting better, you're going to have to let them do so openly (and safely)
