It's ridiculous.  It's been 1.5 years, what's more time going to do?  It's obvious they're trying to wait long enough for people to forget so they can let the cheating Russians keep their medal. Yet again it is proven any competition where Russian athletes take part is a farce.

Good for him, he has at least one thing to be proud of!  And he didn’t false start, which we have seen a lone runner do before.

Out of nowhere, an original excuse for a failed test - accidentally ingesting your son’s cough medicine.    Judging by his photo, “caught it off a tattoo needle” might have been worth a shot.

 

Also: matches my theory that many doping fails are ageing professionals looking for another couple of seasons of paydays.
