How to decide which athletes are clean when time and time again a federation is proven to be ridden with corruption and dirtyness? 

They could do a lots of doping test for all best russian an the Russian Federation will be substitute by an IAAF special commission. Isn't a good idea?

They are already trying to do a lot of doping tests, but the athletes are hiding in all kinds of places where the testers are being sent away by police and military...

Meanwhile we're underway at the Diamond League in a very rainy Stockholm

The starter simply doesn't know what he's doing and now gets Bershawn Jackson DSQ'ed because he's making such a huge mess of the start 

[dareza 911]

Ivan with new first place. She probably will win DL this year

What's happening with Irene Ekelund? It's already a long time ago she had a good race and now again it looked so bad/"forced"

She's been injured but I had Hope She still has More potential to develop after winning world youth.

 

Im so impressed by Susanna Kallurs comeback in the hurdles yesterday. 13.00 and just 0.10 after Talay in that Weather. First hurdle race in 6 years... And 8.5years since last injury-free race..

Ah yeah, Kallur's race was really impressive! I was so incredibly annoyed by the Dutch commentator who didn't mention a single word about how special it was that Kallur competed there yesterday....in fact, he asked: "I don't know why the director is showing Kallur so much, but alright"

Today in nearly 5 hours, the Lithuanian Athletics Championships are going to start and we're hoping for some good results. If there is something promissing today, I'll update

Rytis Sakalauskas 100m. 10.29 (SB, European Championship Standard). Also, there was a huge storm, wind, clearly not the best conditions for good results.
