Well that's a Daily Mail style headline.
OT but if anyone is under the illusion that the BBC is some bastion of Journalistic integrity, I've followed 2 high profile cases in depth to the point where I was actually logged in to the court in 1 case and in both cases what the BBC chose to report and how they chose to report it bore no resemblance to the reality.

He says he was unknowingly over the limit but:

'These messages indicate that: (i) the Player requested the Clinic staff not to keep receipts relating to his infusion; (ii) the Player discussed ways in which he could justify receiving infusions, including feigning illness; and (iii) the Player subsequently researched whether or not the infusion was prohibited under the WADA Code (specifically, whether it was the ingredient itself or the water that was relevant to the limit of 100 mL within 12 hours),' the ITIA wrote, outlining their investigation.
