It was actually a successful appeal by ITF. The tribunal let Ymer off but ITF appealed to CAS and they imposed a ban.

Athletics won’t be around in 10 years as Doping will kill off what is left of its viewing figures.

Don't be a troll. People don't give a shit about doping scandals at this point, cycling for example even survived Armstrong and it's still very popular.

 

I don't want to kink shame, but your enjoyment of these weird Nostradamus sports predictions is starting to look very unhealthy.

he always said it was a problem with the ADAMS and his iPhone, but he wasn't given any credit by WADA and by the Italian anti-doping authorities.

But come on, of all the thousands of athletes with iPhones, he is the only one with an unsolvable problem? And using a computer to keep the information in ADAMS updated was impossible as well, because of his MacBook or something?  

 

Not saying it's impossible, but....yeah, that doesn't sound like a great excuse...
