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.

      I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.

      I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.

      The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.

      The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.

      The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR

      That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.

      How Many Medals do You Expect from Your Nation at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026？

      By JockCartier · Posted

      I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird

      So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
