Apostle Guilty of EPO Doping

The apostle who reached the tomb before Peter is under investigation after receiving a positive A sample from the USADA yesterday. Pending a confirmed B sample, the apostle could face a ban from all USATF sanctioned races of at least 2 years.

“There is a lot of pressure to differentiate yourself from the other 11 apostles,” he told the New York Times. “I put my trust in the wrong person. Judas.”

Various publishers have already stated that if a B sample is confirmed they will redact all 2.5+ billion sold copies of the Bible and place an asterisk at the end of the line that credits this apostle with reaching Jesus’ tomb first.

“The USADA was very saddened to hear results of the test,” stated USADA CEO Travis Tygart. “This young man was a role model for many younger runners/apostles. To disgrace him with this penalty is terrible for our sport but in the end we are helping to preserve the integrity of our sport for years to come.”

2013 – Two bombs explode at the finish line of the Boston Marathon, killing 3 and injuring 264.

 

Images of the suspects were released on April 18th. A fire fight ensured after one of the suspects was located. Chechen Tamerian Tsarnev was shot and pronounced dead on the scene after he had killed an MIT police officer and severely injured an MBTA police officer.

 

A manhunt on April 19th which included thousands of law enforcement officers combing a 20-block area of Watertown, Mass. led to the arrest of brother Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

 

This simple-minded and hate-filled act of terrorism was a resounding failure for one simple reason: we are not a country that can be bullied into submission.

 

You can say what you want about this country and our leisure or vices; that fortunate abundance of resources or lack of disease or a greedy and selfish capitalistic economy have led to our status of 1st World Country. But do not leave out the one factor that absolutely shined through this terrible ordeal in Boston: our strong resilience.

 

You attacked one of the largest competitions in America to dishearten us? The Boston Globe reported that it expects over ONE MILLION people to line the marathon route and cheer competitors on. That number is twice what a typical year gets. Donations have poured in from all across the country to aid victims and their families. As of September, 2013 the One Fund Boston program has received more than $69.8 million

 

Not only did you bring your disillusioned “impactful” attack to the wrong country, but you also attacked the wrong group of people. Runners do not respond to pain and fear like most people. When the deep ache of oxygen debt begins to catch hold of us or the finish line feels infinitely far away we take one deep breath and say, “This hurts pretty bad. I should probably keep going.” Some of the marathon finishers who had just run 26.2 miles continued running… right to the nearest hospital to donate blood. The 2014 Boston Marathon currently has over 36,000 registered participants, the second highest number that its ever had. Thousands of others were unfortunately turned away because the sheer size of the race would be too much to handle.

 

We live in a time when terrorism has turned into an unfortunate form of communication. No one blinks an eye when you read about how one group voices their displeasure to another group through senseless acts of violence. This violence becomes cyclical and endless. We are above this in America, however. Do not bring that hateful garbage in here. You will not bring us down and we will become a stronger community because of it.

 

Please remember Krysti Marie Campbell, Lu Lingzi, Martin William, and officier Sean A. Collier who lost their lives during the bombing and fire fight that followed.

1896 – Spiridon Louis won the inaugural marathon in front of a home crowd in Athens, Greece wearing shoes that had been donated to him from fellow villagers.

In the middle of the race Louis passed the Australian Edwin Flack who had earlier won the 800m and 1500m. Flack entered the race despite never having run a distance farther than 10 miles. A spell of dehydrated delirium hit Flack in the middle of the race. A spectator with good intentions reached to help steady him but was perceived as a threat and promptly attacked. Flack was restrained and taken off the course in a carriage.
