Doping Cases and Bans Thread (2016 & 2017)

[T&Fwatch 6]

According to

Efimova will appeal at CAS and of course she will win.

I don't know why IOC wants to use a rule that already had been overturned by CAS.

World Archery confirmed that Russian team can start in Rio.

And two news about athletics.

Mutko asked IAAF to change decision at least for Isinbayeva, Shubenkov and Kuchina.

Stepanova asked IOC to change decision about her.

Especially Isinbaeva doesn't show any signs of understanding the problem there is in Russia. Also her opinion about Stepanova is absolutely disgusting. 

Hopefully IAAF does not change decision about her!

I don't see them changing the decision. They banned them and that was upheld by CAS. Don't see why IOC not doing the same would make IAAF change their mind.

I think first of all Isinbayeva is a perfect and clean athlete. And without her women's pole vault competition at the Olympics anyway won't be so perfect like with her. And this is the main thing. Her opinion about something and people's opinions about her are important. But opinions can not be the main thing if we speak about sport. So I hope she will start.

All is possible. IOC can allowed Stepanova if IAAF allowed Isinbayeva, Shubenkov and Kuchina for example. They are different organisations with different rules. But world of sport is not a space, they are talking each other a lot behind the scenes. But of course maybe it won't be.

Of course, but only because the IOC tried to implement the Osaka Rule again, any athlete could have appealed that restriction.

it's quite obvious that you don't follow Fencing so carefully (and don't know it in its deepest aspects)...

foil and sabre are always subject to interpretation (and often they are really affected by bad refereeing - which sometimes is just corrupted refereeing)...

and moreover, there is a big geo-political mafia behind the Fencing refs...but until they do it according to mr. Usmanov's desires, nobody will go against the boss' will...

 

I've been following fencing since 1996, man (remember Badea-Trillini and Badea-Vezzali bouts in Atlanta?). I disagree with everything you said, but I don't wanna argue with you, so let's respect each other opinion, OK?

However, if this appeal is successful the IOC will have effectively done nothing, so they may consider increasing the punishment to a ban
