Malaika Mihambo today had her 5th competition of the season with 7 m or more, the last time that happened was in 2002 (when Tatjana Kotova had 6 competitions with 7 m or more).

It is only the last competition of the year that matters!

So after Madiea Ghafoor was caught with millions worth of drugs to sell, the next one is already there

 

Dutch sprinter Roelf Bouwmeester (national level, reached the final of the 100m at the NCh recently) has been arrested at the Sziget music festival in Hungary with 450 bottles of drugs, 1kg of XTC and an undisclosed amount of marijuana which he and a friend were selling there. Police got a little suspicious when way too many people went in there tent with money in hand and came out with little packages  

 

The fuck are they doing  

[heywoodu 16,468]

Bouwmeester and his mate apparently had a van with them in which police found 4000 (!) XTC pills and 15kg of marijuana

 

Lifelong imprisonment is apparently an option. @Vektor How would morons like this usually be punished in Hungary, we're all assuming they're going behind bars for a very long time..

Okay, so what's going on with the Dutch athletes and these horrid drug stories?

How did you think the relatively strong performances of late were funded?

I can kinda see this happening now though. Some Dutch sprinter providing her with the goods and Marit sailing her boat to the other side of the world
