Toader was positive on doping

 

Correction, he was negative in Poland, as he was in previous 10 WADA controls this year. He supposedly was tested positive at a domestic contest; however, you missed school that day we learned that until the finish of the investigation the athlete is considered innocent.

Supposedly? Are you being serious?  One is either tested positive or negative, there's no third option.

 

If he had really been tested positive, Romanian federation should've suspended him.

Yes, I'm serious 

 I see English language has many secrets you haven't unraveled yet. "supposedly" means the B sample hasn't been analysed, thus this case is yet to be concluded and the athlete is considered innocent until the finish of the investigation, so some internet trolls should behave

Romanian Olympic Committee already announced he is not going to Olympics

A-sample was positive, meaning he should be provisionally suspended and probably he is. 

B-sample will most likely be positive (only in extremely rare cases the B-sample comes back negative), and then he should get the real ban.

 

Until then, he's a suspected athlete, not a convicted doper yet, but someone who will most likely be a convicted doper quite soon. 

 

It's really that simple

Evrika! you have found it. I said exactly the same things, btw 

My emphasis is on the principle of not being guilty until proven, which is a step stone of democracy; is it that difficult for some trolls to contain themselves until he is fukin PROVEN GUILTY? then they can rejoice all over

I think it's because of the way you have reacted to some positives from other nations (the Hungarians, for example). Anyway, let's all try and treat every situation like this, no matter if they are from Romania, Hungary, the Netherlands or whatever

I really dont see the problem here, our serbian friend didnt say anything wrong (sorry, i cant "understand" his name ...).

Our romanian friend said that he "supposedly" tested positive, but i think there is no doubt that he tested positive (A-sample) and our serbian friend didnt say anything else. His A-sample was positive, we still have to wait for the B-sample.

If he really tested positive before the start of the junior world championships and romanian federation knew about it, then they never should have allowed him to compete there, i completely agree with our serbian friend about this, he stole a medal from someone else and that should not have been allowed.
