And again, English speaking countries get away with just warnings... IAAF and WADA are turning a blind eye... if it were a Russian, every single sportsperson would be automatically banned and put under surveillance for the whole Olympic cycle.

 

Well, I think the organisations have been doing that step by step. Russia, Kenya, soon will be joined by Jamaica, USA, China

Unfortunately development of some chemicals that improve your body skills is a way faster than development of the technology uncovering it. 

 

:JAM has anyways come in the shade a bit, especially regarding male athletes. ... :USA needs to be investigated thoughout all sport spheres including college sports. 

 

We will see what WADA and other sports organisations can do within next few years. Maybe we will witness the situation when Olympic or world champions in 100m run or 10.000m will be white people cause others, no matter individiuals or national federations, might get ban easily. Just like Russia.

Coming back to Rafaela Silva.
In Brazil, fenoterol has been detected and must give away the medal of the Pan American Games. The translation is a hit: I don't have asthma, but my friend's child has it. I usually give her my nose to suck. Yes, this substance had to get in.

still, until they don't get any of his athletes (even after the end of their career, if it's the case...any referral to Mo Farah and Galen Rupp is purely intentional :whistle:), I'm not sure this changes anything...

Well, I feel US wants to play "active" and "fair" country so they needed to blame someone. Not saying that Salazar is clean. But what is more convinient than put the blame on someone who works in US with local athletes but is foreign citizen :cool:

well, you know...

 

when an avalanche starts running, nobody never knows where it's going to end up...

 

now, we can only wait and see...maybe a miracle can happen and a good bunch of cheaters can be caught, even if some of them with many years' delay...

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
