the Swiss Federal Court denied Alex Schwazer in his last appeal to find the way to have his shameful, unfair suspension lifted and so try and earn a spot for the Tokyo Olympics...

 

now he doesn't have any chance left to fly to Tokyo...major injustice has been done and kept until the end, despite the evidence of a criminal process that demonstrated how a shitty plot was put in place against him...

 

I wish all those who conspired against him all the worst for the rest of their life...

Teenagers from Africa and now american will be making big debut this season and going into Tokyo if they all qualify will make the event very very good against Shaunae Miller-Uibo and the current world champion. An historic and potential world record race at the Olympics?
