Catching up on this week’s NCAA Finals from earlier this week, continuing over the weekend. The new Heyward Field in Eugene, Oregon is looking absolutely superb now. Proper athletics stadium, not the usual track surrounding a football pitch.

and quite good results are posted, too...

 

among others, World U20 Record over the 400m Hurdles by Sean Burrell (47.85), impressive 19.91 over 200m dash by Joseph Fahnbulleh (followed by Terrence Laird in 19.94) and world leading time in 2021 for Randolph Ross (43.85)...

How can she claim she has never heard of Nandrolone. Considering how long it’s been about you have to pretty stupid to take it.

 

First evidence of a silent ban? It’s been six months since she tested positive and had she won her appeal we wouldn’t have heard a thing about it.

Jeez, nandrolone. Edgar Davids already fell for that ages ago

Less than 40 days to go until Tokyo and you can guarantee there will be a lot of stories like this emerging in the next few weeks.

Must be doubt as to whether she'll be in Tokyo now

c'mon! we all know that all the NOP athletes should be banned for life (and Nike should be banned from being a sportswear supplier)...

 

and we all know what are the names that should end up in the blacklist...a Shelby Houlihan, among others, isn't just enough...it looks she's just the typical scapegoat...
