Doping in other sports

[400bhp]

How good would this be,,,

Seb Coe is replaced by Steve Ovett as IAAF President..

I may start a campaign now.

Coe would be , what the young uns call "OWNED"

Is he going for a record for shortest term?

It'll be a new World Record for him..
ah, but is he clean

All this stuff coming out is a reminder of how another organisation used to be. For SC and associated personnel read HV/PM and associated personnel, and it looks all very familiar. Question is, who would take on a poisoned chalice in IAAF? They need a very straight, very well off (it's unpaid, right, what a nonsense!) someone who could sort things out and start by some removals and installation of known and trusted people. Question again, where to start? between IAAF and FIFA, alleged fixing of cricket games, credibility of "popular" sports is about zero. Utter shambles. It may only be by closing it all down and starting from scratch there's even a remote chance of getting proper governance and transparency.

Nick Davies has "stepped aside", whatever that means; he's probably hoping it means that good old Seb will support him and the IAAF will see him right, what it probably means in reality is he's f*cked

I wonder whether Coe's initial antagonistic attitude to the press for sullying the name of a sullied organisation was done on Nick Davies' advice. It echoes Davies' email and he was still IAAF's PR chief at the time. At any rate, with him out of the way for a bit, Coe's incredible ''I knew nothing'' line will continue unabated.

The Dark Side documentary (embedded in this linked report):
“No one’s got caught, because the system’s so easy to beat,” Robertson, the pharmacist, brags to Collins. “And it still is, that’s the sad fact. I can take a guy with average genetics and make him a world champion.”

Just watched..
heavy stuff, I've just been in a few of the US baseball and gridiron blog comment sections are buzzing with this.

"It's a cheap, popular game, and we don't have any doping issues."

Spanish court decision today (Wed)

The Al Jazerra report had kinda gone quiet but two baseball players mentioned in it are taking Al Jazeera to court HERE plus Peyton Manning admitted his wife was the recipient of HGH delivered to his home....

Is sport rotten?

PR's PR? This is getting confusing.

It'd be good if she moved into public relations full time, perhaps on the US west coast. PR could do PR for LA ... In LA.

She is actually an important and iconic figure for the country and immensely for British Athletics. People around the World know of her than say Jeremy Corbyn. She can do much for the sport. Someone needs to talk to her

There is another thread for doping in other sports - perhaps take it there for discussion?

Perhaps you can help him out as the comments are directly related to his post.

Will do, on the other thread.

Crack on...

Seb Coe in news today 'I don't believe there was a cover up'.

I doubt people would think twice about throwing him under the bus, why is he so cautious

[mr messy]

Laughed out loud when Pound suggested Coe was the best man to sort this out...after saying the whole IAAF was corrupt!

 

[totallyfixed]

Yes, that was really odd, a most peculiar comment to make.
