I'm not sure, but I do believe for example Klichina was cleared pretty early because she mostly lives in the US? If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

I think I'll have to have excel files of our start times, two livestreams running, about 4-5 live results pages running and jumping constantly between them, which will probably resemble work more than entertainment.

intoronto 4,202 Posted July 10, 2017 #273 Share Posted July 10, 2017 (edited) Final medal table at the Asian Athletics Championships: (a lot of top athletes did not compete and there was rampant cheating among Indian technical officials).

The only story about AAC and cheating I could find using Google News was 800m Women race where Indian runner was disqualified for blocking Sri Lankan runner.

Better choice of wording would be inconsistent. Here is one example But this event was well organized and had a lot of attention to detail, which I found surprising considering they had only 90 days to prepare for it.

dcro 10,179 Posted July 10, 2017 #277 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Oceanian championships also completed, with grabbing a bunch of golds. It will be interesting to see how many athletes will they send to London. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, we already knew about some rumors during last few days. Apparently (as he said) he had some abnormalities in his biological passport this summer after his injury. We know nothing more, but apparently it has nothing to do with previous years results, He was never caught during all his career. The problem happened last month. when they found some differences in his biological passport values in comparison of previous years (which as they wrote him doesn´t automatically mean a doping) IAAF and WADA now just accordig to the rules suspended him until the investigations will be over and asked him to explain the reasons of these changes. He said he is working with different medical experts to try to explain that it´s not about doping but because of health problems...but well, who know, we have to wait and see... His official statement can be find here in slovak https://sport.aktuality.sk/c/284943/matej-toth-nebude-startovat-na-ms-ma-nezrovnalosti-v-biologickom-pase/ Gianlu33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, i followed her recent results very closely and thats also one of the reasons why i hoped that Kuchina wouldnt be allowed to compete. With the russian doping history her recent results are absolutely outrageous, she must feel untouchable. I guess she is allowed to compete? (Thanks for not answering my question by the way) Everyone who is allowed to compete in diamond league is also allowed to compete at world championships? I dont really care whether russian athletes compete for Russia or not, in the end they will all by honored by Putin if they win anything, noone will be fooled by this stupid trick, IAAF cant seriously think that everyone forgot already.

IAAF's strategy is obvious, just wait and hope that everyone forgets ... i still wonder what actually changed in Russia? You also have to wonder if it was really and incident that the list with all the supposedly doped athletes (Jager, Farah and so on) was "stolen" recently and didnt contain a single russian athlete ... i guess this shows that all nations are equally dirty, so we can as well allow Russia to compete?
