Yes, because anti-doping tests have been sooooooooo efficient to catch cheaters for the last decades obviously. I can't believe people still use that non-argument on a sports forum in 2021.

 

PS: British journalists are among the only ones to have dig up some dirt on their own athletes.

Ah yes, we should disqualify people based on what DeGambassi or Orangeman or OlympicsFan or other big experts think it's obvious, it' much more reliable and fair than doing anti-doping tests

That entire USA team were probably all doping. The other two big names well Jackie was related to her and Carl has been accused many times. 

 

Carl Lewis failed three doping tests during 1988 US Olympic Trials. He admitted it back in 2003 already. It's common knowledge he was a cheater too.

None of us are running the show if you didn't notice. We are not in power of disqualifying anyone, this is not what is happening here. you're making a silly argument.

 

AFAIK, there is no rules on this board that forbidden us to talk of the likelihood of someone being doped even he if hasn't be caught.

Yet the BBC were going heavy on him tweeting about the USA relay flop. Michal Johnson did not look happy and admitted him and Carl Lewis very rarely agree. 
 

The rumour has always been that it might have went higher and they were threats to boycott Seoul if Americans got caught and exposed.

Indeed, that was the 2nd funniest moment of these Games- a Brit getting caught immediately after Brits complained that they had been beaten by someone who would surely be caught within days.

I actually do wonder if his defence will end up being he was set up because he is a Brit.

Maybe, you'll realise that this is not a 'Brit' thing. A shit load of people around the world has raised concerns about him which is very much normal considering his own story and the discipline he excels at.

    • As a Montreal Canadien fan, I am in agreement. However, he is struggling recently and is demoted to the 4th line this week. Hoping he can turn it around. 
    • I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.
    • Abbagnale boasted that he had 80 per cent a few days before the vote (I still have the screen) and ran again as a result of a power deal. Not a great loss.   I have doubts about the new technical director though, you can't announce him during the congress, brandishing the scalp of the Abbagnale era technical staff (who then, were Crispi's men). Let's hope there are no rifts between the new staff and the athletes, it had to be handled better.
    • I was surprised by Abbagnale's defeat. I thought he was a sure of victory, since he decided to run - I read some source that he didn't know if he would start before Paris 2024. What do you think about it?
