And Contador never ate a dodgy steak...

I asked a 65 year old farmer if that was possible & he said it’s impossible under our farming laws but even in other countries it’s very unlikely to get steroids in your system from the meat. He also said they tend to wait a while before killing medicated animals as it can make the meat taste horrible.

We can't afford to get too high-horsey about this. Looks like Sinner has got off a doping rap (or at least reduced the sanction to nothing) by deployment of very expensive lawyers, where lesser (poorer) athletes would have fared worse. Similar to the Froome salbutamol business a few years back.
Money talks, and it doesn't necessarily mean corruption à la Armstrong and the UCI, it's just that good lawyers cost a lot.
It's the rich wot gets the pleasure, it's the poor wot gets the blame. It's the same the ole world over, isn't it a blummin shame?

Wasn't there an issue in China where everyone tested positive for steroids? Including the person in charge of testing?

Yeah we can. Tennis is corrupt as f*ck when it comes to doping. All high level sport is.
Cycling has had a justified bad rep for years, it's about time others started getting pulled up.
Messi wouldn't even be a footballer if he wasn't pumped full of HGH, for example.
