If the UK bids it will be Manchester not London if Coe has anything to do with it.
ExpandAs long as it’s not multiple countries worldwide (unless it’s countries bordering each other…), anywhere in India, Saudi Arabia, and probably even Doha I’m fine with pretty much anywhere.
It’s pretty much going to be either a widely spread games or one of those countires. Nowhere else is interested or can afford it.
USA axes funding for WADA. Major crisis now. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/jan/08/world-anti-doping-agency-faces-crisis-after-us-government-withholds-funding
If Coe wins it be in Saudi for sure.
ExpandSo, will they appeal to CAS like in Sinner case?
Surely they will unless I am missing something.

Cwnt see WADA not overturning this. One month for a banned substance is very low even for accidental consumption. I’ve only ever heard that short for something banned only in Competition and therefore not seen as fully doping. .
The IOC could fall apart over 2028 and the possibilty of countires being banned (Including maybe China), Who knows how that will go.
Adam Peaty says it’s 50/50 if he will retire but he will 100% not if the 50 Breast is added to LA.
ExpandWADA filed an appeal against Jannik Sinner, requesting a disqualification of one to two years, without cancellation of results.
I’ve never seen an appeal without cancelation of results. I wonder if they have done that because they know CAS won’t want to cause too much of a mess,
Some think a big issue for Coe is Atheltics bringing in prize money which upset many people connected to other sports.

ExpandMassage guy had a wound on his finger. Treated it with a legal spray, which included clostebol. Then massaged Sinner, and that's how it ended up in Sinner's body.
I mean, I guess it's theoretically possible
I wonder if USADA will appeal. The tests happened in California
ExpandJannik Sinner tested positive twice for banned substance clostebol.
Testing agencies didn't publish his doping results to public.
Tribunal ruled that cream used on his cut caused contamination.
He has been cleared of the dopings.
I think it’s standard procedure to not publish now until someone is suspended. As he appealed against a provisional suspension it wasn’t revealed until it was all resolved.

Italy is running a Russian style doping programe for sure.
The IOC will lose LA if they insist on this investigation stopping.

With a week to go till the deadline for the world invitational,the rosters look beefy for the discus on both sides.24 entries for the men[19 accepted in so far] and 25 for the women[18 accepted so far] For the men so far there are three 70 meter throwers[i count Denny as that since it's just 4 centimeters off his pb]10 from mid 66 to low 69,three of 65 and over,four from almost 64 to almost 65.On the women's side the 18 accepted throwers all have a pb of over 60 meters.11 of them have pbs over 64 plus.of the ones still not there besides Valerie and Yaime who have been marketed so i can only assume they will join,such names as Sandra Elkasevic,Bin Feng,and jordine van klinken aren't signed up yet,jordine's probably the most likely of them to join in tough feng would be a cool surprise,i somehow don't see Sandra doing this,but it would be awesome if she did.Stahl and ceh aren't in yet on the men's side,ceh has been marketed while stahl hasn't been mentioned at all,[pretty sure stahl will not be there],Lukas[last name is too wild for me to even try] and lawrence okoye aren't there yet either but i'm betting both will be joining in. -

It's complete American domination in the women's discus rankings so far this year,they occupy the top 4 slots,and the WORST result of those four was achieved at Ramona .Third place currently belongs to Ciera Jackson who had a huge almost 4 METER pr at the west coast relays on friday-64.42[previous best was 60.77 from march of 2023,and she opened her season a week ago with at that time her second best result ever of 60.14]she also had a 63.66 throw to back this new pb up,and finally with her new personal best she took down the school record that stood for 36 YEARS[Btw Valerie Allman actually competed in Ramona on march 30th but conditions were apparently far from ideal and she fouled four times and her best was a 63.61,i don't doubt that in the event that she competes in the world intational,the conditions will be perfect,i wouldn't be so bold as to say she wouldl get the world record but for sure i think she could get a new personal best. -
So after finding this this morning I started to search for more news about the date and ticket prices all over the world web ! I found this then to just notice later that it was April fools so yeah, that was my day -

Europe and Egypt are the same time zone’s so I’m not sure they will go for that.
Also on paper Saudi/Qatar/UAE would be less risk than Egypt due to being more experienced at hosting events.
