Oh well, I've got a feeling there's still one or two rather notorious countries left who might entertain us with a positive bit of urine here and there in Anaheim Edited September 30, 2017 by heywoodu If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

dcro 10,179 Posted September 30, 2017 #7 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I am so gonna watch Weightlifting Worlds more than ever before. This could be intriguing, maybe a couple of medals for Oceania. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHSN 3,214 Posted September 30, 2017 #8 Share Posted September 30, 2017 This is a big news. that was the right decision, I'm glad to not see our country in this list ! we had a bad record in this case but at least in past few years they took it serious. even though advanced doping with higher technology doesn't exist in Iran, so if an Iranian uses something he will get caught soon and not 4 years later ! this will improve our results in the World Champs even though since USA is hosting the event and with the travel ban I'm not sure if we can even participate ! our athletes are already in Dubai for visa things.

monte88 17 Posted September 30, 2017 #9 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Why not Iran? They are the same like Russia and China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iran haven't 3 or more doped in the last two Olympics. It's the only criteria that the IWF decided to use. heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
