Doping Cases and Bans 2021 Thread


Recommended Posts

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.

Lottery funding

As now we come across the world
To share these Games of old
Let all the flags of every land
In brotherhood unfold

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 

 

What’s your view on Konstanze Klosterhalfen ?

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.

So she was still tempted then - does she plain to do so once Covid has passed ?

    • The Italian team's form is currently disastrous, especially after their excellent performance at the World Championships in March in Hamar. The miss of qualifications for the women's team is just one of bad news. The second is that Lollibrigida is completely out of form and Ghiotto has her worst results in 4 years at the World Cup. The Italian women's distance team should have been built around Lollibrigida 4 years ago, but with her gone, there's practically no one competing. Peveri and Marletti were there a few years ago, and where are they now? Another huge missed opportunity with the Olympics at home. But of course we are not as lucky as the Czech Republic to have another phenomenon after Sablikova, even though there is not even 1 professional track in the entire country!!! If someone like that appeared among us... Before Paris 2024, Marchand appeared in France in swimming and won several gold medals. No one else appeared in our country and 90% of our medal hopefuls are well over 30 years and already won medals in 2022 and 2018. This is the biggest problem for us.

    • Sooooo, after day 2 :     No change. To clarify, Thorup confirmed she was not going to the Games. But she still collected three quota for  that can be used by any other athlete. Still, Lindenskov has not achieved any minimum qualification time so she's not eligible.    Braun just had to finish the race. She could have started and bailed out like a couple of skaters did in the 500m. But she went all the way and got DQed  So only one Polish skater and Smedding is in (she would have received an additional quota anyways).   Horikawa was given the huge edge of starting in A division thanks to a couple of Dutch skips. Despite running 3s slower than Yang she still retrieved a comfortable amount of points to secure her spot. Yang benefited from the quartets but things could have gone to the wire if they ran in the same division.    Italy not starting. Failing to qualify while they only had to be top 12 (with 14 teams competing) is a huge blow.    Nope Nope Nope   It was tense. Before last pair Semirunniy Lorello and Snellink (in that order with the tie breaker rule) were tied with 110 points, ahead of Henriksen. Meaning that Semirunniy was in and Snellink in too but only in the SOQT ranking, thus depriving the Netherlands of their 9th man. But Eitrem, ranking 0.07 ahead of Semirunniy, and a few seconds later Dawson, 0.10 ahead of Lorello, reshuffled the rankings completely, saving both countryman Henriksen and Dutch matrix selectors.    So Semirunniy, as the world leader in the 10k (not the same event indeed) and 4th of one of the three WC qualifying races is not going to race in Milano. I guess the easy answer is to put that on him. But Sasaki, with 6'21, 13'30 and 6'21 is qualified, because he managed to be a tad faster in the first race of the season on the fastest track in the world. Semirunniy mismanaged his efforts in a flawed system that allows time quota in a World Cup circuit with huge track discrepancies, which works with unfair divisions rewarding way too much already established athletes. Like, look at those injured skaters not even going a hundred meters banking more points than 95% of B division, and yet still taking a spot next week. Erin Jackson could pull this till the end of the season and remain top 16.
    • for the first time ever made it to the final beating  which for the first time ever will not play the final   It is already an absolute shock   but the thing which is happening right now in the other semifinal is literally unbelievable    is currently 1-5 down after 2 periods against     Sweden never lost a match in all history of the WCh so far
