Doping in other sports

I agree with the above but I actually don't think Coe is corrupt in the way Blatter, Diack are.
I think he's naïve, and a bit thick. He is, in my opinion, probably the only obvious person to attempt to clear the muck up. I may be wrong though!

I may be wrong though!

You are.

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

As suggested on social media today, I hope Coe now releases Pound's family

 

[Crackle]

Pound in, Gobsmacking support of Coe statement. I spat my tea out. Careful words though. Just because he can't think of anyone else doesn't mean their isn't anyone else. Speculation for Pounds support continues apace however....

Back to my hibernation now.

Pound may think Coe is the "least worst" option. Someone who could be brought into line? Best option might be to replace the lot, bit as testing has been slack or results covered up, who would anyone pick with a clean guarantee, and the political nous to sort things. Coe at least scores as a (not awfully good) politician. Back to "least worst" option!
Of course, there's always a certain lady who gets herself in then news a bit.

A bit like Michel Platini was probably viewed as "least worst" until he was found "just as bad".

I think it's a bit like the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Obama, in other words, telling Coe to do or become something, rather than really believing anything about what he's already done. However, look how Obama worked out on the peace front...

This is potentially pretty troubling. If Pechstein succeeds she could end CAS arbitration in sports.
