Lance Pugmire of the Los Angeles Times shares Victor Conte’s “duck and dodge” technique of outsmarting the anti-doping organizations. Conte detailed the technique in a letter written to sprinter Dwain Chambers (”Victor Conte details ‘duck and dodge’ technique in doping,” July 19).

* “First, the athlete repeatedly calls their own cellphone until the message capacity is full,” Conte wrote. “This way, the athlete can claim to the testers that they didn’t get a message when they finally decide to make themselves available.

* “Secondly, they provide incorrect information on their whereabouts form. They say they are going one place and then go to another. Thereafter, they start using testosterone, growth hormone and other drugs for a short cycle of two to three weeks.

* “After the athlete . . . know that they will test clean, they become available and resume training at their regular facility. . . . Long story short, an athlete can continue to duck and dive until they have two missed tests.”

Does Victor Conte really think we’ll believe it’s that easy for professional athletes to beat the drug tests? Well, actually - yes!

Doping is rampant and beating the testers is like taking candy from a baby.

Oh…
