I was going for a gag:) like the teacher that says read all the directions on a test before starting then the last question says do nothing… and then we play Heads Up 7 Up.

One billion seconds is much longer than one million seconds. Specifically:

One million seconds is equal to approximately 11.57 days (1,000,000 seconds / 86,400 seconds per day). One billion seconds is equal to approximately 31.71 years (1,000,000,000 seconds / 31,536,000 seconds per year). Therefore, one billion seconds is roughly 86,400 times longer than one million seconds.

An Olympic athlete who wishes to remove themselves from the US Anti-Doping Agency's (USADA) testing pool must complete and submit a Retirement Notification Form to USADA. This form can be obtained by contacting USADA directly or by downloading it from their website.

The Retirement Notification Form requires the athlete to provide their personal information, as well as the reason for their retirement. The athlete must also sign the form to certify that the information provided is accurate.

It is important to note that once an athlete has retired and has been removed from the testing pool, they are still subject to testing for a period of time. This is known as the "retirement period" and varies depending on the athlete's level of competition and the sport they participated in.

Athletes who have retired and been removed from the testing pool but then decide to return to competition must notify USADA and may be subject to a period of testing before being eligible to compete.

USADA has a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) program that allows athletes to use substances that are prohibited in competition if they have a legitimate medical condition that requires the use of that substance. Mental health conditions, such as depression or anxiety, may require the use of certain medications that are prohibited in competition, and athletes can apply for a TUE to use these medications.

In order to apply for a TUE for a mental health condition, an athlete must provide medical documentation from a licensed physician or mental health professional. This documentation should explain the diagnosis, the medication or treatment being recommended, and why the medication or treatment is necessary.

Athletes can also contact USADA directly to discuss any concerns they may have about how their mental health condition may impact testing. USADA has a Medical Science team that can provide guidance and support to athletes regarding their medication use and the testing process.

Additionally, USADA recognizes the importance of mental health and has resources available for athletes who may be experiencing mental health issues. USADA's Athlete Express Program provides free and confidential counseling services to athletes and their family members. Athletes can also access mental health resources through the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee's Athlete Services program.

To be at her level after ALL the tests over the years she’s taken — to act this way is silly. No excuses. I only made 2 Olympic trials and know the rules. She’s been to the big show. There is no excuse, she will be forgotten.

They all have a “cyber policy”. I would bet this group did not take the cyber policy and we’re probably told that this is the way to cover the loss that they are experiencing now.
