Isn’t this akin state-sponsored doping like Russia’s?

 

Well, I don’t see His Highness Coe banning the entire US team, wether innocent or guilty, from competing because the obvious corruption of USATF

This is an absolute howler from USATF, rightly condemned, but Russiagate this isn't - it's the classic US terror of a court case - apparently Houlihan turned up with an order from a low divisional court which didn't understand the way sports admin works internationally. In attempting to bypass and frustrate CAS with a domestic court order, Houlihan is actually committing another offence. But I suspect she's past caring.

So, Houlihan said she hasn't heard of nandrolone before. Now I know she is lying 100%.

 

I'm not a pro athlete and I've heard about nandrolone for years. Linford Christie, Merlene Ottey and Dieter Baumann were all busted for nandrolone among others

I was 10 and I had already heard of nandrolone thanks to Edgar Davids  

 

I did come across an article from 2001, headlined 'Nobody is so stupid as to take nandrolone on purpose'

Did Athing Mu skip the 400 meters at the US Trials? I can’t find her name in the results page for the event.

Yes, that is correct.  She is only running the 800 meters at the Trials.

Crazy, Ingebrigtsen might really win Olympic gold ...

[rafalgorka 1,821]

@OlympicsFan I can't see a foul in this WR throw.

Some Polish athletes didn't see it, either. But maybe we've missed something.
