I think they are screwed.
I don't buy the contaminated meat angle. New Zealand has incredibly strict customs laws as well as probably even better meat standard that we have here. There is no way that this was in meat there. It is not China or South America.
I don't buy the Coke angle. Nobody would cut coke with an expensive drug. You would use baking soda or something cheap to increase profit. It makes no sense.
Unfortunately the only real logical angle is that they thought they could cut some corners and take something to help them build muscle mass and lose fat in preseason when training hard.
I would be so happy to be proven wrong but it's not looking great. Let's wait til the B sample is tested and give them an opportunity to make a statement but then we need to make our own and delist if they can't justify
