ETHIOPIA - Life in prison for Ethiopian runner Besu Sado
Ethiopian runner Besu Sado was sentenced to life in prison after being found guilty of killing her husband. Former athlete Teshale Tamru was stabbed to death in their house by two men hired by Besu Sado and her two brothers in August 2022. The five people were charged but one of her brothers and the two suspects are still on the loose.
Asked about the reason for the murder, Beso Sadu said her husband did witchcraft on her family, her mother and her brothers to prevent them from succeeding.
Besu Sado clinched a silver medal in the 1500m at the 2015 All African Games and finished 9th at the Olympic Games in Rio the following year (PB 3:59.47 at the Zürich Diamond League in September 2016). She later switched to road races, clocking 2:21:03 in her first marathon attempt in October 2019 in Amsterdam (4th). In April 2022, she finished 3rd of the Paris marathon in 2:23:16.

not here...

 

those idiots from Sky Italia has the tv rights but doesn't broadcast this meet...and the stream is geoblocked, of course (not a real problem, but still just another "censorship act" by skysport here in Italy -it will be the same with Baseball's WBC...exclusive rights, but they will show only the games of the Italian team and the final 4...it's always the same with international football...there's no competition they show in full according to their tv rights...and they just can't use the online service to make up for the lack of linear tv channels).

    • I have reported this again and they said it should be fixed now, please let me know if you are still facing issues.
    • more countries added to the list of US ban    you can't travel to USA if you are from : burkina faso , niger , Laos , South sudan , mali , sierra leon ...
    • Yes, but what I mean for Serbia is that everything changed there (unfortunately for us ). 2022 was an unbelievable mess, that's not the case anymore now with just one athlete who has really gone for it and made it, so I'm 99% sure they'll accept it this time.   Who knows though. Plus there's always 1-2 bigger countries here or there who reject something, but it's not gonna be 16 places I'm afraid   
    • Doping by Event Type When we look at which events have the most doping cases, a few categories stand out from recent sanction records: Long Distance (3,000m and above): 32% of cases Sprints (400m or less): 24% of cases Jumps: 12% of cases Javelin: 8% of cases Middle Distance (800m–1,500m): 8% of cases Hammer: 8% of cases Steeplechase (3,000m SC): 4% of cases
    • From 2020 to 2025    These three countries alone make up almost two-thirds (61.9%) of all current doping violations in athletics worldwide. It’s worth noting that 199 of World Athletics’ 214 member federations have no athletes on the current ban list. This means the problem is really concentrated in a small number of places. Here’s a look at the top countries: Rank Country Total Violations Percentage Region 1 Kenya 119 24.74% Africa 2 India 108 22.45% Asia 3 Russia 73 15.18% Europe 4 China 26 5.40% Asia 5 Turkey 20 4.16% Europe 6 Italy 18 3.74% Europe 7 South Africa 18 3.74% Africa 8 Ukraine 17 3.53% Europe 9 United States 16 3.33% North America 10 Morocco 15 3.12% Africa
    • Here's my calculations of the quotas. I believe you are correct about Italy having 3 quotas in men's singles.   Men's Singles   3 Quotas: 2 Quotas: 1 Quota:   data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==   Women's Singles   3 Quotas: 2 Quotas: 1 Quota:     Men's Doubles   2 Quotas: 1 Quota:     Women's Doubles   1 Quota:
