Doping Cases and Bans Thread (2016 & 2017)

[Guest TandFwatch]

Very interesting documentary of Seppelt and Sunday Times in Kenya. Showing a Doc talking about a Brit who is kept anonymous. Question of the evening: Who is ***?

It's fairly certain who he is. A runner who has been successful in a minor way in international competition.

But it is not somebody who has won medals at Olympic or world level.

Name will revealed in next few weeks or months.

I always wonder, is this really hard to take a complete decision ? will they award the bronze medal to the next athlete or not ?! can't they just announce it.

There is a story in the Russian press about a draft letter from the head of the US Anti-Doping Travis Tygart.

The letter was due to be released after the release of the McLaren Report but has been leaked.

It says that USADA "request the removal of the Russian team from both the Rio Olympics and Paralympics" because "the McLaren report has proven Russia has broken the Olympic Charter and the rules of the IOC and WADA".

It goes to say that it has proved the Russian Ministry of Sport and other parts of the Russian government interfered with the anti-doping system.

If this is genuine (and we don't know know it is yet) then this story just got very, very serious for Russia.

This would fit to a short statement of ARD which says that ARD has information about the McLaren report. It will confirm that they cheated with support of Russian Ministry of sport.
