- oh_sigh 11y agoIt was a mistake that she didn't check that her drug was banned, but it wasn't a mistake taking the drug. Usually you would take that drug for a couple of weeks. She was taking it for 5+ years, for its doping powers.
- bardworx 11y agoFrom my understanding, a "cycle" of the drug is some amount of weeks but that doesn't imply that it cures whatever ailment / you never have to take it again. More importantly, the difference between a regular dose and a doping dose is very severe (by a factor of 10). When the blood tests are revealed, it would be easy to tell if she was just taking the doctor suggested dose or downing 10 pills per day for its increased endurance.
