No, Khan should not get his belts back. The guy tested within very normal levels ffs. He was actually smack down in the middle range. Yet everybody is jumping on him and calling him a cheater. I actually feel for the guy - he made the stupid mistake of not reporting it and now he gets most of the uneducated public who haven't the first clue about the situation branding him a cheater.
I'll say again, it's fishy as hell that HE was the one pushing for the VADA testing and then getting caught.
I wonder what Khan's testosterone levels were?
The explanation for pushing for VADA testing could be that he gambled that the testosterone pill wouldn't be detectable. Alternatively, it was a slow release pill, maybe by that point, he felt like it would have been completely released.

I have a question. If an athlete's testosterone is above 1:1, but below 4:1, does that mean that he is taking something to supplement it, but it hasn't been caught because either it isn't banned or because he didn't take enough to take him out of the legal limits? Because normal humans are 1:1, it seems like any amount over it, would be banned, right?

Hahah, that's way off Rant. Normal humans testosterone levels fluctuate greatly throughout life, as do most hormones. A male athlete in their late teens early 20's will have FAR higher levels of testosterone and other growth hormones than they will even 10 years later, not to mention 20 or 30, not to mention compared to someone who is inactive. Being in peak physical condition will naturally spike these levels to a huge extent, which is why it is so difficult to test for HGH for instance. As someone else posted the legal ratio of testosterone is as high as 6 or 7:1 for this reason, it in no way indicates one is supplementing with anything in itself.
