I don't really follow athletics, but as a reminder to myself in case I decide to follow it someday, I should never come close to some people discussing the results here.   I've seen some sex

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.

      Alpine Skiing FIS World Cup 2024 - 2025

      By copravolley · Posted

      Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...

      Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
