Rules for athletes with DSD apply in 400m but not in 200m...

So they may not have been allowed to compete in 400m? I guess that seems likely, yeah.

Just letting you all know of an update to my Road To Tokyo tool.  The data capture process now reads performances (IAAF Top List) as well as the IAAF World Rankings.  The filtered rankings, e.g. top 3

Right, but Mboma ran a 400m just a few days ago, and set her best time. If she was a DSD athlete, she would have already had to have lowered her testosterone level to compete at that meet, and thus that wouldn’t be a problem for the Olympics.

 

The only thing I can think of is this is the Namibian federation trying to kept an ace(s) up their sleeve for down the line, but even that doesn’t make much sense. This could perhaps also be her coach’s decision. Sometimes coach’s have a set plan for developing their athletes, and so they’ll reject participation in bigger events from time to time in order to follow that plan for success.

The rumours flying about suggest a DSD problem with the 400m but nobody can confirm this.

She is new to the elite scene, it's likely that WA did not review her case completely yet...she is not banned from competing yet but she might have been warned, and the case would have blown up if she tried to compete at the Olympics.

 

Namibia or the coach throwing away this medal (and even gold) chance to follow their development plan? Impossible.

      It's really funny - the VO has had a constitutional majority for 16 years and someone always blocked him from fulfilling its brilliant plan Without these hostile actions, Hungary would probably have been at the level of Switzerland in terms of GDP a long time ago Btw., in sports, Hungary probably also had better results in the 90s and early 2000s than during the VO era? I mean in the summer, because in the winter, apart from the episode with the Liu brothers - now China in short track, it's probably always been pretty poor level.

      For me is aimed at domestic consumption. BTW, Brussels and Ukraine is happening at the same time as far as constructed "enemies" are concerned. Does anyone still fall for this? Maybe someone over 80 years for sure.  A couple of years ago (but after the war broke out) an old man (in his own admission he was 82) in a local bar tried to convince me that without Don Vittorio in the government, I would be already fighting in Eastern Ukraine  Needless to say, he was unsuccessful.

      pdr4332   Explain to me what this Ukraine thing is all about? Isn't this just another Orban tactic to focus on this before the elections, instead of discussing, for example, the fact that during the 16 years of VO's rule in Budapest, Hungary's GDP has fallen from the level of Poland/Czech Republic in 2010 to under Romania's? Does anyone in Hungary still fall for this, because it seems like something like this happens every 4 years: Soros, Brussels, now Ukraine and who will be next
