Poor guy he shouldn’t be running that often. He could learn from other people who just appear in a race only once in a while 😉 and have injuries and then win 😂

in this case it wouldn't change anything, as he's got caught thanks an out-of-competition test ;)

sure! US doctors and managers (but it's the same for the Europeans taking advantage of the Africans in distance running), but an athlete coming from a small Nation with no other chance to improve his life (and his family's) than succeding in sport

 

that's the perfect 

"No other chance" his parents are US college graduates, don't think he was living in a hut.

He lived all his life in the US and is not even close of being poor.

I completely missed this when it was posted a month ago but WADA is now using the ABP to screen for HGH, IGF-1 and steroid usage.

 

Quote

 

The Endocrine Module of the ABP collects information on markers of human growth hormone (hGH) doping. The module aims to identify hGH use as well as use of hGH analogs, fragments and releasing factors categorized under Section S2.2 of the Prohibited List. This module may also indicate use of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), categorized under Section S2.3 of the Prohibited List.

The Steroidal Module of the ABP collects information on markers of steroid doping, which until now, have been measured in urine samples. This module has been updated to also include markers measured in blood (serum) samples.

Totally forgot to post it, but one of the bigger bits of doping news the entire year, especially in cycling:

 

 

 

And an excellent bit of explanation on Reddit about the whole Freeman/Sky/Ineos farce, starting with Wiggins.

 

Quote

For those who weren't around at the time this blew up, this is about two things.

The first was when Wiggins won the Tour. Freeman went from a race in Eastern France where Sky/Ineos were racing, to the UK, then back to Easter France, to bring a bag of medication for Wiggins. Nobody knows what medication.

Sky and Brailsford demurred on it, gave several different explanations. The first of which was to try and pin it on Emma Pooley. Luckily she was leading a race in Spain that day so she couldn't have been involved so that lie was quickly exposed.

They went through several explanations as each was easily debunked, until settling on "It was Fluimucil". A medication that could've been bought over the counter at any Pharmacy in France, but apparently they needed to go back to the UK base to get it.

That's the first thing. The second thing was several deliveries of corticosteroids and testosterone to their UK base. Again several explanations from Brailsford saying it was for his knee, to it was for Shane Sutton's impotence, to several other things. The most damning moment was when an e-mail surfaced from British Cycling to the company that sold the testosterone saying essentially "Tell the press it was a mistake and we never ordered this or you won't see any more business from us".

Of course, all this took a bit of a backseat when Froome tested positive and people kinda forgot about it.

A lot of evidence would've been on Freeman's computer, especially the files on Wiggins, Froome, Thomas and Possoni, the 4 Sky riders who were involved in different levels of scandal. Unfortunately Freeman "lost" the laptop it and the whole team had no copies of the files. No online backups, nothing.

How surprising. I definitely wouldn't expect doping to be involved in a team that promised "A British Tour winner in 5 years" when not a single British rider looked like an even remote possibility, only to have 3 different guys inexplicably go from either pack fodder or time trialists who couldn't climb a speedbump, become world beaters and win the Tour.

    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons

    • More AI visualizations of the venues.         
    • I can count for you, but what I will say is that I don't think it was a lot. 
    • Off-topic, when I lived in Beijing there was a park across the street that had all the 2022 pictograms along its fence on the street. They were big and lit up at night. It was really cool, especially because the 2022 pictograms were very unique and creative. 
    • They're not very creative or unique to Italy/Milano, but like others have said, at least they're understandable unlike Paris. These are very generic, though. 
    • National law and sport rules are completely different. Like, there's a law in Canada that if you punch someone in the face you will get charged with battery. But if you're playing hockey and do it, you'll only get 5 minutes in a penalty box. Japan only recognizes gender at birth and this was not an issue in 2020(1).    Any law Trump and the Republicans pass can only apply to governmental organizations, i.e. school competitions. Private sport events, like the NHL, MLB and the Olympics, can still decided who can and cannot participate in what events. If the NHL wants a female goaltender to play, they can do that tomorrow if they want. If the IOC decides Semenya can participate in the female category, then that's their right as a private entity. I'm sure Hitler wasn't happy that Jews, black people and other groups were allowed to participate in 1936, either.    Of course, I've been saying for a long time they should do away with "male" and "female" categories and just have "Over/Under X amount of testosterone" categories. 
    • Yeah, if they have all their FTA* live streams on one page, announced in advance, life will be easier. Before you had to sub to about 7 or 8 YT channels to.know what was on every week.   But the results/events Page is also easier, because previously they used to mix up World Cup & say, Balkan Cup events together.
    • UWW's new rules for change of nationality   this doesn't look great for likes of Bahrain, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and few more.    still it won't make a huge huge impact for the next Olympic cycle because each NOC still can use 2 mercenaries per style in each tournament but after 2028 it will be reduced to just 1.    some of those countries already have 3 or 4 (or more) Russian mercenaries per style. from now on they have to pick 2 of them for each tournament. I assumed the new rule applies to previous mercenaries too . https://cdn.uww.org/2024-11/change_of_nationality_regulation_eng_oct2024_final.pdf also you can't wrestle for another country without a passport. (UWW allowed that for some years) current non-national wrestlers can continue like that until the end of 2026 though.   it could be better but in general I'm OK with new rules. good job by UWW.
