Athletics Qualification to Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games

[dcro 10,210]

Surely not the first time this has happened... I'd like to take a closer look at athletes who curiously achieved marathon standards, and then when the Olympics arrived, they were tens of minutes behind their PB.

 

Something like this happened in the Croatian team as well, when we qualified a women's 4x400m relay for the European Championships. Anita Banović, our best 400 m runner at the time, was pretending to be her sister Marina Banović in a national race, so that they can both go to Zurich.

 

They got busted and thrown out of the team.

Agreed, a proven doper stealing a medal from clean athletes would be wonderful to see ...

You certainly have a very unconventional understanding of the law and „justice“.

Rare that an athlete is so outspoken about a rival...

Yes, that would be a WR that would be hard to beat even with help from shoes and technology.  But lucklily for her competitors, I made a typo so they should not fear her that much.

well, it's known since a lot of times that some of his envious collegues are protected by wada and have always thrown loads of shit on him...

 

Diniz is an idiot and a cheater if there's one in the world...he's always been a more than modest race walker and suddenly he improved so much at an age when most athletes retire...

 

and what a surprise! the defamatory article is signed by the significant pool of BBC, Insidethegames, Dunfee and Tallent...

 

p.s. Tallent too is the perfect example of a cheater saved all life long by IAAF and WADA because he's part of the English-speaking Empire...the "good world" against "the big cheaters" coming from anywhere else...

 

p.p.s. and that website are just a bunch of biased liars (knowing what they are and what they're doing)...

Schwazer's samples from Beijing 2008 have been re-tested at least 100 times in order to find something to destroy him, but the evidence was so clear in his favour that they had to make up false evidence when he came back from his disqualification when he was caught because he actually used doping in 2011 and 2012 (and he admitted to have done it, showing all proofs in a serious trial court...and this is why those biased cheaters of IAAF and WADA are still trying to cover him with loads of shit)...

 

today's athletics is less trustable than weightlifting thanks to people like them...

7.08 is crazy too. Maybe a medal chance for IVB.
