Doping Cases and Bans Thread (2016 & 2017)

[Xander 53]

Natalia Lupu (UKR) was proclaimed innocent by WADA.

 

IWF also justified Krzysztof Szramiak (POL), Lyaisan Makhiyanova (RUS) and Hripsime Khurshudyan (ARM). All 3 are pretty known names in weightlifting, esp Olympic bronze medalist Khurshudyan.

 

Sharapova won't be included into this "amnesty wave" because her amount of meldonium was too high. According to WADA's General Counsel.

Makes sense. I remember her press conference where she openly admitted that she received a list of prohibited substances in December but didn't check it. Meaning that obviously she used it after January 1st.

Coupled with Ahn's gold medal and Wild's two gold medals we are talking about more than half of Russia;s gold medals being from doping/bought athletes.

With Ahn and Wild not being typical "bought" athletes, by the way, but more like athletes that were left hanging by their own countries and then picked up by smart Russians 

 

Anyway, I'm curious if there will be names in the interview. If not, meh. If there will be, at least one or two wouldn't be surprising at all..

The International Olympic Committee has announced that 31 athletes could be banned from the 2016 Rio Games for doping violations after 454 samples from Beijing were re-tested. The IOC says the 31 unnamed athletes come from 12 countries and six sports – with all those confirmed to have broken rules being banned from this summer’s Games. The governing body said it is further awaiting the results of 250 re-tests from the London Olympics of 2012.

that's close to 10% of tested athletes .....this is really sick .........................

What we know at the moment is this;

 

Australia, South Africa and Great Britain have denied any of their athletes are involved.

 

Most cases come from "the usual countries and the usual sports".

 

Athletics and Weightlifting are involved.

 

One report says some are from Russia.

 

B samples will be tested in June, results of those tests and provisional suspension will follow quickly afterwards.

Next week  the IOC will announce results of the retests from London 2012 samples.
