It sucks so hard internal struggles with the federation screwed over the relay so they didn't qualify....a team with these athletes could pose quite a medal threat :(

Olesya Povh and Olha Zemlyak were excluded from our team because of disciplinary proceedings opened by IAAF. Doping?

Zemlyak said that the letter she received wasn't from IAAF and she's under federation's pressure to withdraw :wacko:

 

 

EDIT: and here goes the scandal :d

Some laboratory did uncertified doping tests on them according to Povh. This method wasn't approved by IAAF nor by WADA :mad:

Zemlyak has already failed a test in 2009 and Povh shared a coach (Kostya Rurak) with Ryemyen when the latter was banned in 2014. Rurak also served a ban as a runner in 1997.

was the uncertified lab in Ukraine or outside?

^ not uncertified lab but uncertified method.

Don't forget that IAAF included them to the list of athletes. They were denied by the federation.

This is experimental procedure (not approved by WADA) which showed really abnormal data.

Both athletes haven't received the letter from IAAF still. And something tells me they won't receive it.

 

If they ban someone basing on faulty non-approved methods then UAF (and IAAF?) should be sued. Though I'm against Zemlyak and Rurak being in our team/coaching. If UAF decided to show their strong anti-doping position they shouldn't have been including Zemlyak to the team from the beginning then :mad:

 

EDIT: Our best athletics lawyer has just confirmed that he will study the case.

 

 

EDIT #2: Judging from their comments I don't exclude that both Povh & Zemlyak will sue our federation after all :lol:

And the scandal with Zemlyak & Povh gets to the new level.

 

- Povh & Zemlyak are officially clear.

 

- IAAF added both athletes to the WCH participants list.

 

- Their doping tests were analized by the new IAAF sub-division. Not WADA.

 

- It was taken 1 year ago in Amsterdam.

 

- There was no anonymity. All the test tubes had names on them :wacko:

 

- That IAAF sub-division is not certified/authorizied to make any official statements or ban athletes. They didn't even say anything about ban. Lol.

 

- They tested testosterone taken from urine (this is very amateurish/faulty/unprofessional method). Not from blood like it's supposed to be.

 

- Their testosterone level is so abnormal according to those "tests" that it's impossible/unnatural for any woman. Considering they're in the doping pool they're tested regularly this fact on alone says a lot about that IAAF sub-division :lol:

 

- Basing on these faulty tests the UAF (Ukrainian federation) suspended both athletes without having such right. Only IAAF (not that sub-division) and WADA are authorized to suspend an athlete in such case :facepalm:

 

- The athletes/federation received mails only from a random person who's not associated with WADA.

 

- Both athletes haven't even seen any official letter from IAAF/WADA for a week! (because such letter doesn't exist). They demanded UAF to show such letter.

 

- Both athletes found out about their suspension in the airport!

 

- Zemlyak confirmed that she will sue the UAF.

 

- Different athletics federations from all over the world have already supported both athletes.

 

- Both of them were under UAF pressure - UAF demanded their confession :wacko:

"I categorically will not sign that because I've got nothing to confess" - Zemlyak.

 

- They have a full right to take part in the WCH still.

    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
    • The worst editions in XXI century for us were Vancouver: 5 medals (only 1 gold for Razzoli's on the penultimate day) and Sochi: 8 medals (but no gold). Turin was already a prelude to this bad period, although the number of gold medals was ok. Overall we won fewer medals at home than in 2002 and this was probably the only case in the 21st century when the host country won fewer medals at home than 4 years earlier, either in summer or winter. In general the years 2008-2016 were very bad in our sport, both in summer and winter. Only 2018 in Korea was a slight rebuild + 2 fantastic summer editions in Tokyo and Paris. in Beijing 2022 we won a lot of medals - 17 but only 2 gold (If it weren't for Gogga's injury, I think it would have been 4 gold).
    • Totallympics had  users at one point, but I haven't seen any hanging around in a while.
    • In terms of total medals, yes. In terms of golds, I’d be fine with anywhere from 6-8.   @intoronto you don’t think we’ll do better or at least the same? Bit surprising.
    • Tadeucci was very good and took bronze
