Steve_RP 5 Posted September 14, 2016 #4671 Share Posted September 14, 2016 (edited) 7 minutes ago, Dolby said: No, Simone Biles and Venus Williams are not going to be stripped of their medals. As Simone said, she had prior permission from WADA to take her medication (containing banned substance) due to her condition (ADHD). In theory at least, these exemptions are available to any athlete who can prove that s/he has an underlying condition and needs medication for that. Also, I hope, they need to show that other medications (without the banned substance) can't work. This exemption could be time bound (when an athlete is recovering from surgery/injury) or long term (I am assuming that Biles has a long term exemption). Legally speaking, I think, they have broken no law and hence, there is no chance of ban or stripping of medals. ur assessment is spot on...but the same Russian hackers have stated that there are more exposes to follow.... So, the issue is far from over Plus, the same group of hackers have stated that they have lots of data to show how doping is rampant even in the US.. So, lets expect fireworks Edited September 14, 2016 by Steve_RP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prakash 27 Posted September 16, 2016 #4677 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Rafael Nadal on Friday pulled out of Spain's Davis Cup World Group Play-off against India due to a stomach bug. He was due to play the first rubber against Ramkumar Ramanathan. Feliciano Lopez will replace him on Friday. However, if Nadal, recovers on time, he could play the reverse singles against Saketh Myneni on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
