Few thoughts. 3 bath players were sacked and banned a few years ago for failing drug tests not peds but cocaine one of them saying that after being in several car crashes in 80 minutes it's what you use to enable you to go out after the match. Dubious I know. Ironman held an anonymous doping survey with an alarming number of people admitting it. Can you accidently dope? Yes. If you take something a coach gives you because you trust them and they say it's legal use is that an accident or are you niave/stupid. If your partner picks up the wrong grade lemsip the day before a race and you take it is that an accident? Is you are on prescribed medicine for an unrelated thing and you don't check your meds against the wada list is that an accident? I know a guy who still runs following a heart attack while taking heart improving drugs is he cheating? Yes he is faster than previously! So I think doping is common place 99%won't get caught but what is the point in amateur sport? Sorry got a bit rambleyou'd!
