Ujah finally speaks and effectively tells us we looking at a contamination or poisoning defence which will fail. Can’t see many in Britain backing him at all considering the Times has done a no smoke without fire article today on some of his teammates and anyone backing him will get that treatment. 

 

 

Are you sure about that (unfortunately) ?

Well it might get his ban reduced from 4 to 2 if he provides the supplements and he can prove they were contaminated with both substances but it won’t save his teammates medal or his chance of representing GB again without further legal action.

Hope you're right. I'm so tired of these made-up excuses every fucking time...

Shubenkov is the oddest. How as a Russian he managed to get off and even get an apology I don’t know.

If he was able to persuade a lot of the public through that he was a victim of contamination or even poisoning it could make him and the others seen as martyrs who lost due to poor labelling in a Japanese factory or an anti British plot. 

Back during the last Winter Olympics one of the BBC presenters described Alan Baxter who lost his medal as having it still in spirit.

:USA Varvara Lepchenko (tennis) has been provisionally suspended today (andrafinili & modafinil). She's 35yo so probably tried to stiff-arm Father Time :p

Not her first positive test as she tested positive for Melodonium in 2016.

When will Britain return the stolen silver medal?

If you are talking about the Tokyo 2020 Men's 4x100 m Relay. I suppose we will have to wait for a bit. I guess CJ Ujah's B sample has been retested but I think he is now trying to prove himself innocent as they all do by using some steps to express that the substances got to the body by contaminated food or from food supplement that did not have written the banned substances on the list. But if I am correct, CJ Ujah's sample had 3 banned substances and this is hardly defendable. So I suppose sooner or later, the :GBR will have to return the medal. I guess they will prove him guilty, silver will go to :CAN and bronze to :CHN . But I think the final decision will be made some time at the end of the year earliest. Now, it is still too early.

According to the UK press there has not been a second test yet.  He’s going with the old favourite “mislabelled/contaminated batch” defense, which has never worked for anyone not directly employed by Nike.

    • When it comes to power, confidence and match-winning ability, women's cricket has produced some truly fearless batsmen over the years. These players didn't just score runs - they changed games, calmed crowds and intimidated bowlers. Based on influence, consistency and ability to dominate attacks, here is my 2026 Forum list of the top 7 most dangerous women batsmen in cricket history.   At the top, Meg Lanning stands out for her quiet aggression and leadership. She could control an innings and then suddenly explode. Behind her is Harmanpreet Kaur, known for her raw power and clutch performances, especially in big tournaments.   Ellyse Perry deserves a special mention. Her technique, fitness and ability to increase pace make her lethal in all formats. Smriti Mandhana brings purpose with grandeur - once she gets going, bowlers struggle to find answers.   From a bygone era, Mithali Raj may not have looked aggressive, but her mental strength and ability to bat for long periods make her extremely dangerous. Suzy Bats has become a nightmare for bowlers in ODIs and T20s, as she mixes timing and smart shot selection. The list also includes Deandra Dottin, whose power-hitting can change a match in just a few overs.   What connects all these stars is their fearless mentality. Each has earned the tag of Dangerous Women's Batsman by performing consistently under pressure and against the best bowlers in the world. For fans who love in-depth cricket discussions, statistics and trending topics, Cricbites is becoming a popular platform to explore women's cricket in a fresh and engaging way.

    • Off to Milan for the 145th session of the International Olympic Committee. Although the agenda has not been published yet, there shouldn’t be any major items over these two days, apart from the election of a member of the IOC Executive Board. This will be the eighth time the session is held in Italy, the last one being during the Turin 2006 Olympic Games.

    • What is happening in Canada , people leave it  They say life is very expensive , you cant find an appartement , the salary is miserable    is it the multi tax of Trump? 
    • Weightlifting We now have six events per gender with a total of 10 athletes per event.   The Olympic Qualification Rankings will be based on the sum of the total results of five events (three from period 1 and two from period 2). The top 8 will qualify.   The 9th spot will also be based on the OQR, but it will go to the highest ranked athlete from an unrepresented continent.   The 10th spot will be split between the host and universality (3 each per gender). Should the United States qualify normally then their host quota will be reduced, first going to an athlete from an unrepresented continent then to the overall highest ranked athlete.   Additionally, a "Best Lifter" will be awarded which would give the nation the chance to qualify 4 athletes rather than the max of 3.
    • The probability of winning a medal in the men's 500m also seems a bit off   
    • 66% chance for a medal in moguls seems low though...   Men's relay being 5th in short track, and Clarke only having a 0.5% chance at a medal also seem off   Why is ski mountaineering there, we didn't even qualify anyone
