Huge news if this is true. Not sure if it’s been confirmed yet:

Today is the first day of trail for doping in weightlifting and cycling. This is the biggest doping case in Lithuanian history.

On a bench:

• Bronislovas Vyšniauskas - head of Lithuanian weightlifting federation, national coach. During the raid police found more than 1000+ items with doping substances
• Ramūnas Vyšniauskas - son of Bronislovas, Olympic weightlifter, previously suspended twice due doping violations. During the raid police found illegal psychotropic drugs.
• Antanas Jakimavičius - cycling coach, during the raid police found doping substances.

 

All 3 facing possibility not only to loose their jobs (obviously) and get penalties, but also spend 4 years in prison.

Very glad to hear that, although it took way too long, i already called her out in 2015, but at that time i got a lot of hate for it.

Very good to hear, especially because it should shut up all those people who never can imagine that even in a country like Jamaice underage athletes are doping. Of course this also doesn't make Ato Bolden more trustable.

And yet, we will not see a sanction to US Track & Field... IAAF's double standards, covering English world athletes. I wouldn't be surprised that a few years from now the likes of Bolt & Farah are uncovered as cheaters.

I have said it for a decade that Bolt is dirty and they protected him for money and success it brought to the sport. One day things will come clean.
