De_Gambassi 896 Posted June 16, 2016 #272 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Il y a 8 heures , Maxim Fastovsky a déclaré: It's time for the IOC to re-evaluate if Weighlifting should really be an olympic sport, so many doping scandals, so many top athletes cheat. Where do the science end and the sport begin? At that point, weightlifting could be used as a perfect pet-subject for a real harsh (and hopefully efficient) anti-doping policy: - Life ban for first offenders - Elimination of any record/medal won by a convicted doper - Systematic bans for federation with multiple doping offenders (≥ 2) - Frozen prize pools (4 years) - Reset of every reccords - etc. If it fails, then the sport is out of the olympics (and is likely going to die). If it success, then it could be used as a blue print for other sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can IOC pass over the decision and allow Russians to compete in Rio 2016 with own flag The journalists aren't sure yet about what IAAF decided. One said "The suspension stays", another says "The suspension stays but demonstrably clean athletes might go if IOC says so" while yet another says there has not been any decision made yet If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

IAAF has kept Russia's ban for all international competitions, but left an opening for "provably clean athletes" to start in Rio according to some journalists. Question is how they'd prove that: their athletes only competed in Russia this year and the doping controls in Russia are nothing but a joke (like international testers being sent away by armed guards). I think it's up to the IOC and what they decide next week.

No. Only IOC can ban anybody from OG, so we need to wait for the 21st June. But athletes can qualify for the Olympics only on IAAF events, so if Russian athletes will be allowed to participate(doesn't matter, under which flag), they need to be already qualified. opruh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
