re: Reports out that Clem players’ “B” sample also positive for PEDs.

After 5 half lives, a drug is considered eliminated from the body. Having such a small amount in their system would tell me they either were exposed to a small amount recently or a larger amount much further back. The common denominator between the 3 players, is that they all are recovering from injury over the past year. Regardless, it was in their system, rules are rules.

By definition, the plasma concentration of a drug is halved after one elimination half-life. Therefore, in each succeeding half-life, less drug is eliminated. After one half-life the amount of drug remaining in the body is 50% after two half-lives 25%, etc. After 4 half-lives the amount of drug (6.25%) is considered to be negligible regarding its therapeutic effects.
