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 :p

 

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.

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.

    • I remember when I was a child and I was on holiday with my parents in Tunisia, I think in 1999? We were on a trip to the desert near the border with Algeria. The guide said something like that: Algeria is a few minutes from here but we won't go there because there is a war going on there and it's not safe.
    • Netanyahu is bad but unfortunately Hamas helps him maintain power. Every attack they make is a reinforcement of Netanyahu's rhetoric about the country's security, etc. In the fall of 2023, Netanyahu was already losing support and then suddenly a big Hamas attack on a festival near the Gaza Strip. Coincidence? It wouldn`t surprise me at all if Netanyahu knew about the plan for this attack but did nothing so that he would then have the tools to maintain his power. I also remember Ariel Sharon - he was probably even more radical than Netanyahu but he had a brain hemorrhage and fell into a coma.
    • Ah yes, post-colonial bickering never gets too old. Let me grab my popcorn!   Netanyahu is on a personal revenge mission to avenge his brother's death for his entire political life and people still act like they're surprised by his actions
    • MId-1962.  Almost all the Jews were driven out in a few days, even though they had been living there since Classical, pre-Muslim times.   Perhaps our friend could give us details of of any current Algerian plans to welcome them back, restore their property, guarantee their safety etc etc?    
    • In what year did Algeria free itself from French influence? 1960, exactly?
    • Or better, perhaps he'd like to tell us what happened to the 140,000 Jews who were living in Algeria in 1960, as against the 200 who live there now? 
    • There are still many people of Jewish origin in Central and Eastern Europe who have nothing to do with the state of Israel. What ties does Zelensky have to the state of Israel? Apart from he waś there as president of Ukraine and speaking in the Knesset? Nothing. In the power circles in Moscow there were/are many people of Jewish origin and what about that? A large part of the power apparatus of the USSR was based on Jews, especially in the years shortly after WWII.   Instead of constantly writing about Jews, would be better to tell me which country Algeria has better diplomatic relations with: Tunisia or Egypt?  
    • Handy guide for the perplexed.  
    • I`m a bit disappointed with the starts of the Italian team. I was counting on progress from last year. And here it looks like Bagnis is still very uneven. In Cortina there will be 3 competitions with medals to win and it would be a shame not to use our track to win 1-2 medals. The same goes for luge.
    • On the other hand Errani's serve doesn't make Paolini's task any easier... But Paolini is in a such good shape here, though, that I hope she wins her first title in the old Fed Cup. For Errani, it will be 4: 2009, 2010, 2013. So far, Roberta Vinci has 4 titles with Italy.
