In law you also usually have a little thing called "force majeure". In such scenario normal rules should not apply in some instances.

 

But alright, I guess all those cheaters will have a new arrow in their quiver for Paris 2024 and onwards - release a deadly virus and hope the blasted thing gets rescheduled. :cheer:

Just introduce life bans for caught cheaters and this whole thing is no issue anymore :evil: 

 

Spoiler

Yes, I know there are legitimate reasons not to actually have life bans for first time cheaters.

The gray area now is age limits from what I gather. “Only people older than 15 as of the start of the Olympics can compete.” NOCs seem to arguing for strict interpretation or loose interpretation of some rules like that.

 

limit cancelled because of that thing called "Skateboarding"...

 

now it's up to the single federations only to set up some kind of reasonable age limit (and I fear some IFs are not going for the right decisions)...

the ioc has tried many times to set up a law to not allow any previously caught cheater to take part into the Games anymore in their life, but CAS has always rejected those attempts...

 

and they also cancelled the 8-year ban some IFs tried to apply to the 1st time caught cheaters...

 

it's not easy to fight against a world that most times has more regard for the criminals than the victims...:whistle:

Finally someone stated the obvious. If no vaccine is developed by next summer, the Olympics will hardly go forward at all...

Apparently the postponement will cost the IOC (alone) 800 million USD.

Which we learned during the worst press conference in IOC history ?

I'd say the 8-year-term is too much, I'm getting already tired of Bach's speaking instead of saying.

I’ve always been a Bach supporter, but the last 2-3 years have really made me lose faith in him. If I got to vote for the next IOC President, I’d vote for Pound.

Every new IOC president seems to take the totalitarian role one step further, Bach took two steps :p

    • you're obsessed! but who cares about a team of mercenaries? the players have to be true "Italians", which means they have to have Italian blood running through their veins, they have to feel the love for the Country, they have to feel their heart bumping when the Anthem is played, they have to really want to play for us there's no need to bring here people not good enough to make their native NT, just pick and train our young girls! waterpolo isn't that complicated, just needs a strong physical preparation and being smart enough to understand the tactical situation and take the correct decisions in the pool   ps and frankly, better find a swimmer capable of winning multiple medals than a winning team in a sport watched just by the players' relatives 😈

    • I don't think rankings are fair in cricket. There's no cricket between India and Italy or Papua New Guinea for the latter team to improve their performance or get better in rankings. It's just top 8 teams that regularly play against each other.   In long term, if more teams being competitive there will be more interesting match ups rather than between same old teams.
    • I understand your disappointment as a neutral Olympics fan  , but the qualification pathway that both ICC & IOC has agreed on is based on pure merit. In fact many other Olympic sports has world ranking system as the primary  means of qualification . This achieves 2 things, it rewards the best nations in that particular sports who have managed to perform at the highest level over a period of time rather than a one off playoff/qualifiers & secondly it ensures you get quality matches among the best teams in the world at the Olympic level. There is a reason world rankings are used as a parameter for qualification in multiple Olympic sports.  I am delighted for  & they qualified on merit albeit via penalty kicks, but how many Canadians (or the global audience)will be interested to watch a World cup opening match at home v  as compared to v . You will get your answer as to why ICC choose world rankings over  a random qualifier. 
    • Some of the highlights from this week    Adejah Hodge with a WL, PB, and NR of 22.10 in the women's 200m at the Spec Towns Invitational    That WL stood for about an hour, before  Cambrea Sturgis went 0.01 better in 22.09 at the Baylor Invitational, for a new PB.     Lachlan Kennedy with a PB of 9.96 in the men's 100m heats at the Australian National Championships   3:29:85 for Cameron Myers in the men's 1500m final as well   9.96 PB for 16 year old  Dillon Mitchell in the boy's 100m (2.8m/s) at the District 23-6A Championships
    • It would be great if  women Italy water polo returned to the top, where volleyball is now. These 2  teams + basketball and football and maybe softball, would be a nice to see for the women's team sports in LA in 2028.   https://www.instagram.com/p/DVs-BAdjPyd/?img_index=2
    • https://www.instagram.com/izachiappini   She's currently playing in Roma, but I see she's 171 cm height... She's a bit short, and that's a big problem for the Italian National Team. I also don't know if there's even any talk of her returning to the Italian National Team? She is 31, which is still an age to return to play in NT. The ITA has changed head coaches, so maybe there's still a chance for a her return? There's no one left from that 2019 team, except for Roberta Bianconi.
    • For me, it's nonsense –in the Italian National Team played with players from Hungary, Brazil, etc., although perhaps not at that particular time. Regarding the 2019-2021 period, it was a generational change after coach Fabio Conti times. The team was in crisis and didn't qualify for the 2021 Olympics. I don't remember what the atmosphere was like back then, but honestly, I don't remember that particular this Brazilian player in our squad. If there was a problem, it was more of a personal one. Many people from that squad are gone, but the crisis in the Italian team continues and is more of a structural one – the players are too weak physically. In my opinion, it would be advisable to naturalize someone strong to change the Italian team's power.
