Doping in other sports

[Strathlubnaig]

Some do it quicker than others...

me thinks he doth protest too much

Lord Coe is angry.

He is playing a stupid game ,just to get elected . It is McQuaid all over again ....is Jamaica donating test equipment for the IAAF .

Did you all read The Times' article? I wonder who the athlete who threatened to sue is, saying '.....you won't be getting any money back in future like Lance Armstrong- I can promise you that'.

"If these scientists have evidence that the IAAF did not follow up suspicious samples, then they should immediately make this available to the Wada Commission.
"If they do not have evidence, then we urge that they refrain from making assertions of wrongdoing."
.....

....Russian Liliya Shobukhova, who won in 2010 and was runner-up in 2011, has had her results since 2009 annulled. The Sunday Times claims that she recorded "extreme blood scores" for nine years before the athletics authorities finally took action against her in 2014, and that marathon organisers were not told about the scores.

QED?

Ashenden is always involved in this stuff it seems but I've never seen any reason to doubt his opinion and the way the IAAF is failling over themselves, despite the noise, I don't think they do either.

 

[albion]

Quite sad really.

Those 'other sports' already hiding things via minimal secret testing will be destrying the evidence right now I well bet.

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

I see that Mo Farrah is saying that he'll make his data available. The data we already know is not suspicious.

How about those with suspicious data doing likewise?

If the clean athletes let their data be known, then by default any one that doesn't will be marked as a doper. Good call I say

Below this story are 5 so-called 'related' links to other athletics and athletics doping stories, which includes Jimmy Anderson being in the 5th Test squad.
I think he should sue.

It has to assumed that the stories in the Aussie press about ball doping are true

All the athletics stuff -it was just a matter of time.

Just look at Gatlin sticking two fingers up.

It still comes back to risk vs reward. The risks must outweigh the reward so many times over, but they don't. Until then, in ALL sports, doping will continue.

The London marathon race chief criticises the IAAF, its all a bit tit for tat at the moment...
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/athletics/33840230

Yeahbutt:

• The London Marathon has spent tens of thousands of pounds on testing athletes and supporting the development of anti-doping measures over the years.

So, let's say £50k over, let's say 10 years. £5k a year, maybe £10k a year being optimistic.

It's just pishing into the wind.

I am actually pretty angry as athletics comes second to me in sports I enjoy.

Right, now that the dopers have retired, the IAAF comes out and reveals that, oh, yes, they were doping and the IAAF were always going to deal with it. Anybody convinced?

 

[themosquitoking]

I can't find a list of the names anywhere yet.
