This event, in conjunction with the Rude/Graves situation seems to indicate that athletes and teams in the EWS need to be much better educated, more aware of and more careful around the anti doping rules.
I'm inclined to believe Maes narrative and I also think that Rude and Graves are guilty of negligence rather than malicious intent.
But the rules are what they are and, as in any sport, if you violate the rules you get penalized. No matter the reason for the violation.
