I am very happy that Kilty got disqualied. Will Kilty compete at the olympics?

I heard somehere he's not in a good place to be in the team and surely this doesn't help him :d

 

I'm not sure though, but I'm praying with you that he won't be there :p

Martina isnt one of my favorite athletes, but at least that "turkish" guy didnt win. Its just pathetic that all turkish medal winners are naturalized, especially because it shows the hypocrisy of turkish political leaders. Hopefully god/WADA will find a way to stop Turkey from winning any medal in athletics or swimming (Solnceva).

So, if a guys was legally naturalized (like all italian naturalized athletes) i haven't problem but I don't think that the Turkish law give a nationality after only 1-2 days :lol:

Yeah, but did you see her? We might have a "Semenya case" in shot put.
