AIU suspends three Kenyan athletes for doping

The US's Hassan Mead tested positive for two SARMs and has received a three year ban.

Can Narendra Modi Stadium even fit an athletics track? Seems like it's not long enough.

Seems she's not actually admitting to doping intentionally.

 

  Quote

 

De Bruin admitted to the violation and waived her right to a hearing in October, when signing an Early Admission and Acceptance Agreement. By doing so, the applicable four-year suspension was reduced by one year.

 

De Bruin told CBC Sports she signed the agreement due to a lack of funds to appeal the decision.

 

"I appreciate and respect the need to have tough rules to keep the playing field clean, however, I signed the Early Admission and Acceptance Agreement ... because I simply do not have the financial means to fight it," de Bruin said.

 

"I have always considered competing for Canada and wearing the Maple Leaf on my suit around the world an absolute privilege, and I would never do anything intentionally to jeopardize this honour."

Australia is considered to be part of Oceania for the most part plus the culture of the two nations are different. I think they have a good chance if a nation outside of Europe is going to win.

The European and American broadcasters (especially NBC) aren't gonna care that it's culturally different only that the timezone sucks for them.

I'd love to see another Summer Olympics in South Korea but probably the IOC won't won to go to East Asia so soon after Brisbane 2032.

Kenya's really on a roll.

 

Two more Kenyan athletes suspended for alleged doping offence

 

Almost at the point where we can just presume they're all doping.

It's strange because it's not banned out of competition but if you take it in competition you're basically guaranteed you'll test positive so that'd be super stupid. I wonder if they're using it out of competition but not waiting long enough for it to clear the system before competing? Or maybe they are just this stupid?

Expand  

So maybe they fully anticipate testing positive but don't particular care because the money is in pocket and spent by then. Time to withhold all prizes until after tests come back clear? That could be a big hindrance to clean athletes with how backlogged testing labs are.

Imo, those countries are bad choices.

 

Why choose Egypt as the first African country to host the Olympics? They’re better off giving it to South Africa.

 

As for India, wasn’t their CWG bad in 2010? 

 

And why should they celebrate 100 years after the controversial 1936 Berlin Olympics?

Expand  

South Africa couldn't even deliver the CWG when they were awarded them and Birmingham had to step in and host instead.

 

That said I expect Egypt to be an even worse condidate and at this point in time there doesn't seem to be any African countries capable of hosting without it turning into a mess of white elephants, corruption and terrible economic fallout.

Russian athletes who have not been welcome at international events due to the country's war with Ukraine could soon be allowed back in competition, said the head of the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee on Thursday.

Santo must be due to switch nationalities again soon.

Another Nigerian sprinter busted: Commonwealth gold medallist Nwokocha provisionally suspended for doping

 

Nwokocha is an NCAA athlete coached by the Duane Ross whose son, Randolph Ross, also coached by him, was busted for tampering earlier this year. To make it even more juicy Duane Ross was busted as a part of Balco back in the day.

Couple of cases at the Athletics Worlds, both involving fair-size names with medal chances.

It's been years since a podium level track and field athlete has been busted by USADA but at least there's AIU to actually do the job they're failing to do.

Were they having very good/suspicious results? I don't follow cycling at all.

Okagbare didn't appeal the doping ban so a 10 year career ending ban it is.
