It is getting easy to see why other sports tests, if ever done at all, are kept secret.

That anti doping budget of $2m is utterly useless.

That anti doping budget of $2m is utterly useless.

yup in the context of the WORLD take in gate money and sponsorship for all the athletic organisations and promoters - but what is that $2M - as I understand it that is just for the overall running of the programme - it is the individual national organisations that undertake the testing

 

[400bhp]

it might be only $2m but it red flagged thousands of suspect blood values, but if the IAAF or whomever didn't - weren't - aren't prepared to do the required follow up checks, then I'm not sure in the present system what a bigger budget would have done...

They ran out of budget so they couldn't do anything with the suspect blood values. Ridiculous. It tells me a lot that they actually are defending their position by quoting this. I have budgets at work which are far bigger.

I suspect that so do the researchers producing the next EPO.

Yeh, that's right Seb - attack the messenger. Typical doping apologist response.

 

[themosquitoking]

He's just said more or less the same on R4, there is no problem and everyone involved in athletics is very angry that you keep saying there is.

"Increasing resources for anti-doping and creating a new IAAF ethics department"

"I am convinced that athletics can reclaim a new golden era, but to deliver this ambition I believe that we must have the right IAAF structures and resources in place, including a fully independent anti-doping agency for international level athletics."

"[the IAAF] takes these allegations extremely seriously [and] will issue a robust and detailed response to them"

""It is a declaration of war on my sport. There is nothing in our history of competence and integrity in drug-testing that warrants this kind of attack."

Some do it quicker than others...

Maybe it was different when the media were witch hunting those evil Ruskies. Now it's a bit closer to home....
