Michael Brinegar Shares Perspective on 4-Year Suspension for Blood Doping
On June 22, 2024, SwimSwam reported that 2020 Olympian Michael Brinegar would not be competing in the 1500m Free prelims of the 2024 US Olympic Trials after the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruled in favor of the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA)’s allegations of blood doping during a three month period in 2022. This means that Brinegar is facing a four-year ban.
Hear Brinegar's side of this 2-year process and the effect it has had on this athlete who still claims his innocence in the situation.

    I am struck by how, in this case at least, there seems a lack knowledge by the athlete about the process once a swimmer is under suspicion of doping. I had heard about the extensive testing that athletes go through and assumed they not only had information about how the process works when there is a suspicious result, but also support from USA Swimming or other relevant bodies to help them navigate the process. This podcast seems to suggest a swimmer is largely on their own in figuring out how to defend themselves and tell their side of the story.

    My former club teammate trained with Brian at Townson and is close friends with him. I've been on multiple cross-country, swimming, track, and triathlon teams and I can say that this guy is one of the most dedicated athletes I've ever met. I asked him to describe Brian and he said that Brian is the hardest worker he's ever seen. Brian is the real deal folks.

    You would NEVER treat a white OLYMPIC GOLD athlete like this; Just shows the hateful environment, she's had to train in. Yes, athletes or anyone performing at a high level, CAN, be over trained. You have NO IDEA, what she has to put up with. Simone Biles, was also treated the same, in Tokyo. How many Olympic medals have YOU won?

    They don't think the rest of the world is stupid; a more accurate assessment is that they don't care what they think... China, aka CCP, has a win at all cost attitude, a fake at all cost attitude, a look good at all cost attitude. These attitudes infect across all segments of the country.

    USADA, simple question - where is the evidence if you accuse someone of their wrongdoing? I have search left and right in google, I simply cannot pinpoint a single article that contains any proof. This is a serious matter. the 23 Chinese swimmers, and those swimmers who might have a chance for medals, and the public trust of WADA and CHINADA are all on the line. Be responsible for what you started, show us the proof! For all audiences, use your common sense, please! If you don't like being arrested because your neighbor claims you were a thief with no evidence, then pressure USADA to provide proof! I assume many of you here are actually swimmers. take a look at their swim techniques, and their times in past events, and judge it yourself. Do they look like they need to dop? we all want a clean sport. It is respectful to all athletes who put in their hard work. If the Chinese swimmers put in hard work, paid for the world best coaches, had the most advanced technologies to improve their techniques (I heard the Chinese Academy of Sciences involved in consulting their movement *individually* in reducing drag/resistance). I mean, if they put in more, they deserve the win. On the other hand, for those swimmers who didn't get the medals, it is also helpful to know why they lost. not to confuse them with doping accusations with no proof.
