Doping Cases and Bans 2021 Thread

[Orangehair43 256]

I suspect UKAD are happy as this is the type of story needed to help push criminalisation of doping up the political agenda.

Obviously Ujah being doped was expected, but i am extremely surprised that british coaches allowed him to get caught (that easily). Usually GB is extremely good at not getting caught. When was the last time that a british athlete at this level got caught? Ohuruogu? Extremely impressive streak for a nation that usually wins a lot of track medals. Will be interesting to see if he actually gets a ban and not just a slap on the wrist.

Also Matt Lawton of the Times liked a tweet implying Jacobs is doping after the news about Ujah testing positive broke. I feel like the Times is not going to stop digging on that

Maybe they should take a serious look at british sports and how it went from irrelevant to top 3 within a decade ... or british cycling ... or Paula Radcliffe ... or Mo Farah. British people are the last that should point fingers when it comes to doping.

And other than cycling most of the increase is in a select few sports when funding and full time training is proven to make a lot of the difference and doping is not likely to be effective.

The British press are not exactly noted for not reporting on Farah or Radcliffe. The main documentary in Salazar was produced by the BBC.

The UK doesn’t win that many track medals. And

So IOC should ban USA and IAAF from Olympics

USA definitely, not sure about IAAF. Obviously this won't happen, since american TV owns the olympics/IOC.

Is he that low key ? Even Michael Johnson is only on British TV.

 

 

Mihambo is working with him which is suspicious as well.

No, she isn't. She planned to move to his training group, but couldn't do it thanks to COVID. Please inform yourself in the future before accusing everybody who isn't british.
