[Steve_RP 5]

Great 4th round from Gurpreet

[Steve_RP 5]

That 93 would cost him his chance to qualify

Cheer up guys/gals, the games have not yet started but here cenotaphs are written. No system is perfect. But most of us can see change taking place in the positive direction, maybe the pace needs to be accelerated. Our sportspersons are given much more support than earlier including sport psychologists. Never before, plans were made 2 yrs in advance. 125 crores are spent. There will always be bad day at the office in sports and real life. Its only that vulnerability has to be reduced as much as possible. Be positive. Medal or no medals, what is important is how much heart was put in. The journey itself is a reward. I'm sure we will get 10 medals this summer olympics. Cheers.

Lets postpone this discussion for a later date...time to gear up

Main problem is mental conditioning for our athletes...They need to have psychological sessions...Deepika was just that case where pressure took toll on her...She accepted that fact indirectly..Can't blame athletes for that.....This is important part of training for international athletes, But Indians hardly get this...And then blame game of not performing...Sportspeople will understand my point...Fans are bound to be frustrated but all go for glory and not for fun...No one wants slip up.

Its no surprise that the best sporting nations also have amazing big event acumen...Its all in the conditioning one gets right from the early days......Our system isn't the best, we know that.....but things are changing...and quickly....but all the other changes which plague our sportsperson would need lot more time to overcome.....its not something we can overcome in 4 years.....its a long process which would take years......and maybe the next batch of athletes who are 14-15 yrs old would come out stronger

 

[Steve_RP 5]

Lot is being said about yesterday's slip up by Deepika...

Lets just say its better to make all the mistakes in the ranking rounds....Hopefully they'll get a feel of things and do well........

Be prepared for more Indian athletes getting sick just before competition resulting in DNS

hope that does'nt happen....

NADA did say last week that around 20 test results were awaited and would be out by 2nd or 3rd....I assume dharambir's result is of the same batch..So, if no new results come out in 1-2 days, we could say that the remaining athletes are clean and there should be no problems with their participation.

Let them repeat or better those performances at Rio. Then, I will say that the improvement is real and not due to some controlled circumstances at home.

understandable...Consider this..Justin Gatlin doped and got banned for 4 years..he came back...now he's pushing Bolt more than ever.....Performance enhancing drugs gives u some muscles and physical strength....it adds a fraction more power to the body...but the athlete still has to do everything....

Its not like a candy with superpowers that can transform an athlete from no one to a world beater

The sudden improvement in few atheletes is shown up for what it is ........................sad 

The unhappiness is understandable....

But the improvement is almost across the board....which is most heartening

Dharambir Fails Dope Test

[Steve_RP 5]

Whoa ....schedules and timings coming up.....Rio, 2016 is here....

[Steve_RP 5]

The rumours abt nirmala and Seema seems to absolutely premature

Although NADA did say that quite a few results were awaited, there is no evidence to suggest their doping......

How can a person have traces of drug a week ago and not find it after a week. That too for out of competition testing. Seriously no idea what is going on in India.

Not puzzled over NArsingh's results......He's said his first report had a high dosage of the drug....tested on june 25 and july 5..so the drug would take some time to leave the system

 

Inderjeet's case is puzzling

It is said he cleverly evaded a few tests and kept his whereabouts hidden for sometime..he's found to have doped on 2 different drugs both of which aid in muscle growth...

the different results is due to the delay between the dates of testing....more time passes the traces of the drug reduces

[Steve_RP 5]

Narsingh's tests are'nt over...today's result was of a test done on july 5..retests can be done...tomorrow is his last chance

Narsingh Yadav fails second dope test

The point was on what basis are you saying that it was at high level ?

1. there was a cook who had seen white powdered substances in Narsingh's food....His testimony says a large amount was mixed

2.Narsingh has said that a significant quantity of Methandienone was found in his tests....No athlete would take much quantities of the substance because it leads to weight gain...

We barely got to know it was Methandienone, and there isn't a single confirmed information available beyond that. All speculative. On what basis are you stating it to be "high levels"? 

 

As far as Sushil is concerned, I had similar thoughts seeing Rana's name. However, as the word is (confirmed by Digvijay 'CNNIBN' anchor, who was with Sushil yesterday), Sushil has been out of practice, and does not intend to go to Rio. So there would be no rebuttal from Sushil's camp in case Rana is the final man.

its Methandienone....Narsingh has said its Methandienone..

he says Methandienone makes ppl gain weight and muscles.

 

Its also mentioned in the FIR that was filed yesterday

WFI Replaces Narsingh Yadav With Praveen Rana for Rio Olympics

Rana is named as replacement but if Narsingh is found innocent by NADA, then he can be back. But, even if Narsingh is cleared he can't compete if traces of dope still are in his body.

He's got high levels of methandienone...

but why is'nt Sushil considered if Narsingh cant go.....clearly its misdirected anger against him....nothing against Praveen Rana...It seems as it WFI is pissed with Sushil....

but that cant be a reason not to send someone who's of Sushil's class
