“I honestly feel it (high testosterone levels) has played its part in keeping me fit,” Heaslip says. We’ve explained what (normally happens) but we can’t give you the personal information for an individual athlete who clearly has not had a positive test." "So this notion that he had a positive test and was cleared because you went back and retested his previous samples is complete nonsense?" In the past week, we’ve made repeated efforts to address the confusion (USADA say they didn’t test at the Churchill Cup that year) but Heaslip has refused to engage with us. I’ve read the chapter about your positive test in August 2006 and have been talking to the Sports Council about it.
