I'm really frustrated , this should have been an easy gold medal in total for us , but this's what u get when you're in a country that doesn't care about sport , she stayed 9 months after Olympics without training to finish her high school last year and join university , because our ministry of education didn't allow her to make her exam after Rio , so she lost a whole year , i'm really sad for Sara , she deserved a much better result , hopefully she can return much stronger than Rio next year

for Mahmoud he won medals in wch 2014 , wch 2015 , Rio 2016 , so he was tested in all the 3 events and he was clean , so i think it was just a mistake in the youth level

To be fair - he only tested positive for a stimulant not a steroid,

Toma and Begaj's cases are much worse

Half the world is excluded and still we already have three convicted dopers winning gold medals

Oh, yeah, Begaj won silver. (not counting the snatch/CJ medals, because in the end the totals are what counts)

Even the full Slovak team here is composed of convicted doper, but well, in other hand it´s mainly because we send only one athlete to Anaheim
