Other clean athletes will be cut from the Olympics because of dopers.

 

Come on, cheer a little bit, they will have the chance to discover the OG, the opening ceremony. Event, if they are not at the top of their game, it's still great for your giuys.

Besides, it's not like with normal preparation they would have been very likely to win a medal.. of course everyone wants to be at their best at the Olympics, but I know I'd definitely enjoy it if I would have the chance to suddenly go to Rio.

well, they were 4th at the last World Champs with Viviani and Ganna (our young rising super-star) very tired because they also started in other events in the same days...

I think that at their best they would be major contenders together with Denmark for the Bronze medal...

 

however, the news of the day is that the Chinese specialist Hong Liu, winner of the Race Walking World Cup on May 7th, was tested positive in that same competition...

but, of course, no information about the illegal substance(s) found in her body was discolosed and she was sanctioned only with a disqualification from that race and a 1-month ban, which already expired on July 13th...just in time to let her win the Olympics...

 

IAAF is definitely a joke...they're just insulting all the sports' fans throughout the World...

Bit strange that they gave women quata's to ALB GEO and MDA , considering that those nations had positive tests recently.

Never in a million years I thought this could happen

Looks like our NOC doesn't want to accept reallocations.....they must be crazy
