Doping Cases and Bans 2019 Thread


Recommended Posts

Now I have to admit that I don’t understand why people have turned their attention to Bolt and gone after him. There is no evidence to suggest he participated in a doping scheme or anything of the sort. Going after Briana and Coleman I get but Bolt I don’t understand. With the amount of retesting on samples that has been done on the last few Olympics there is there is little chance he was doping.

Because he did insane things and was the absolute moneymaker of everything athletics. People watched athletics because of Bolt, people went to stadiums because of Bolt, no matter the ticket costs. Not saying he doped or something, I have no clue, but it's not like there would be no reason to kinda help cover something up or help stay under the radar.

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.

 

well, all the Salazar gang up in Oregon has always been more than suspicious...he's well known to play dirty with rules and products he gives to his pupils (yesterday they were Farah and the US middle distance specialists who used to be almost as good as Farah himself and the Africans, nowadays is the Hassan/Klosterhalfen duo, who were just good but now they're a lap ahead of people like Dibaba and the other flying Ethiopians, already suspect enough by themselves)...

 

and the Jamaican wonders (Bolt included) have always been related to coach Seagrave (who was the mastermind behind the Ben Johnson's "project")...

 

so, those are the "facts", the "dangerous relationships" in the small world of top athletics...:evil:

 

then, everybody can think what they want...we're still in a free world (most of us, at least)...:whistle:

see my previous post...

 

I guess just those 2/3 "dangerous relationships" are a good enough reason to have bad thoughts about all this "world"...

Guys, there are just discussion without any proof. I honestly do not believe that Bolt has ever used any shit on purpose. We would have to be saying that everyone who is world class athletes dops? Anyone who breaks a world record dops? That is just nonsense. Let them be .....

 

One guy from WADA, forgot the name, said couple months ago that the current status of doping tests is that they catch those "stupid users" who are not careful enough and those, who really use some crap for years and keep winning, might be far ahead the current technology. But of course, this might be just a hoax. But who knows......

Isn't that always the case though? How many times throughout the years have we heard 'now it's really better!' until some new scandal pops up and the whole thing repeats..

The difference with Lance was that everyone knew, but they could never catch. As I said, with the amount of retesting that has been done on Rio 2016 and London 2012 samples, there’s almost no way Bolt was cheating. Just because someone is the best in a sport/event doesn’t automatically make them a doper.

In the times when he was dominating, the general consensus among fans was not 'he is doping', but 'he is incredibly good'.

    • The Italian team's form is currently disastrous, especially after their excellent performance at the World Championships in March in Hamar. The miss of qualifications for the women's team is just one of bad news. The second is that Lollibrigida is completely out of form and Ghiotto has her worst results in 4 years at the World Cup. The Italian women's distance team should have been built around Lollibrigida 4 years ago, but with her gone, there's practically no one competing. Peveri and Marletti were there a few years ago, and where are they now? Another huge missed opportunity with the Olympics at home. But of course we are not as lucky as the Czech Republic to have another phenomenon after Sablikova, even though there is not even 1 professional track in the entire country!!! If someone like that appeared among us... Before Paris 2024, Marchand appeared in France in swimming and won several gold medals. No one else appeared in our country and 90% of our medal hopefuls are well over 30 years and already won medals in 2022 and 2018. This is the biggest problem for us.

    • Sooooo, after day 2 :     No change. To clarify, Thorup confirmed she was not going to the Games. But she still collected three quota for  that can be used by any other athlete. Still, Lindenskov has not achieved any minimum qualification time so she's not eligible.    Braun just had to finish the race. She could have started and bailed out like a couple of skaters did in the 500m. But she went all the way and got DQed  So only one Polish skater and Smedding is in (she would have received an additional quota anyways).   Horikawa was given the huge edge of starting in A division thanks to a couple of Dutch skips. Despite running 3s slower than Yang she still retrieved a comfortable amount of points to secure her spot. Yang benefited from the quartets but things could have gone to the wire if they ran in the same division.    Italy not starting. Failing to qualify while they only had to be top 12 (with 14 teams competing) is a huge blow.    Nope Nope Nope   It was tense. Before last pair Semirunniy Lorello and Snellink (in that order with the tie breaker rule) were tied with 110 points, ahead of Henriksen. Meaning that Semirunniy was in and Snellink in too but only in the SOQT ranking, thus depriving the Netherlands of their 9th man. But Eitrem, ranking 0.07 ahead of Semirunniy, and a few seconds later Dawson, 0.10 ahead of Lorello, reshuffled the rankings completely, saving both countryman Henriksen and Dutch matrix selectors.    So Semirunniy, as the world leader in the 10k (not the same event indeed) and 4th of one of the three WC qualifying races is not going to race in Milano. I guess the easy answer is to put that on him. But Sasaki, with 6'21, 13'30 and 6'21 is qualified, because he managed to be a tad faster in the first race of the season on the fastest track in the world. Semirunniy mismanaged his efforts in a flawed system that allows time quota in a World Cup circuit with huge track discrepancies, which works with unfair divisions rewarding way too much already established athletes. Like, look at those injured skaters not even going a hundred meters banking more points than 95% of B division, and yet still taking a spot next week. Erin Jackson could pull this till the end of the season and remain top 16.
