Two years is the maximum punishment for this offence.

But of course since Kenya is not Russia, nobody's gonna ban the whole state from competing :coffee:

Of course the big difference was the allegation that the Russian Anti-Doping Agency and the government was protecting their athletes.

That hasn't happened in Kenya. At least not yet.

Yes, but we have seen an insane amount of positive tests from their athletes lately. I do think they should definitely face sanctions of some sort.

Is that because the system isn't working or because the system is finally working properly though?

    • Ah yes, today was the dreaded "IOC news day"... As usual there is barely anything to smile at.   Men's boxing losing more weights is absurd, especially since their "gender parity agenda" is out of the window after switching the football.   Swimming getting the 50s in an already bloated program was sadly inevitable. With US and AUS the next hosts, I'm surprised swimming doesn't have 100 events to begin with.    All the new mixed stuff is Frankenstein as usual, especially the tennis and gymnastics. No one asks for these, even within these sports, but the IOC only care about "Let's have all the stars interact more with each other for maximum TV talk and social engagement, who cares about sporting traditions".   Climbing splitting the events is a positive, though for me personally I didn't see any problem with the combined. It actually showed the true overall best climbers, while now the specialists in one event will get more chances to sneak a medal.   Host sports with 6 teams are a joke and shouldn't award medals! Have them as exhibition events with a trophy etc. for the winners, but shouldn't be included in the medal table. But what do I know.   And still no news on the most important thing for me - extending the Games to 3 full weeks. Things will be crammed, crammed again..

    • is this the right place to ask how on earth do you get to cortina d'ampezzo without having to drive? Are they building a train station there at all? wanting to book tickets for curling but it looks like too much effort if im honest
    • As probably one of the biggest swimming fans on the forum, not too thrilled about stroke 50's being added. There's already enough events.   However, if it means that they're getting rid of semifinals for the 200m events, then that's a trade off I'll to take.
    • David Popovici set a personal and national best of 21.83 in 50m freestyle at the Romanian National Championship, becoming the first man in history under 22, 47 and 1:43 . He'll probably be aiming for the 50-100-200m freestyle triple in LA.
    • Given men's football is the one event in all of the Olympics where the best athletes aren't allowed to compete... not sure how this move is "pure wokism". The women's tournament is essentially a mini world cup, the men's tournament is a side show we tolerate because it generates ticket sales.   Would be a different story, of course, if the men's event wasn't a U23 competition that isn't even within a FIFA window.
    • Eh, not sure I agree. The team events are basically a free gold medal for China, so they are trading two free gold medals for one free gold medal and two likely gold medals. Doubles is a format where upsets are much more likely to happen than team matches.   Either way, I think from a spectator standpoint it is a win. The doubles tournaments will be much more interesting than the team tournaments were.
