This was discussed during the DL today. The pretext, or reason, is that he has not been involved in the Kenyan drug testing regimen for the required length of time. Don’t know whether this comes from Athletics Kenya or WADA or whoever.

That would be rather sad and very irresponsible from Athletics Kenya (again). It's not his responsibility to get tested....it's his responsibility to make sure he doesn't test positive, but being tested is on the federation. On every side this smells like they just don't want him there even though he rightfully qualified.

Ugh. It's both so unsurprising and so sad that Athletics Kenya is basically just an awful and incredibly incompetent federation.

Maybe they wanted him in the programme so they can give him the good stuff :wacko:

Yeah. Seems like World Athletics started insisting at some point on the universality athletes entering 100 m events. I guess to round up their already controversial universality system. Pathetic.

 

Bermuda will have two athletes then....?

Seemingly Kenya are under a special jurisdiction as a consequence of a long series of unfortunate misunderstandings, contaminated beef, people taking prescriptions meant for their grandmother or her dog etc etc & it is not quite as simple as all that.

All too common in African sports where things hum along smoothly enough for three years & eleven months but break down when vouchers for first class air tickets & five star hotel rooms arrive at the Ministry of Sports.

Actually, the athlete from Timor Leste who got an universality place for the 100 meters is a 5000m runner. Guess he's not the only one. It's a shame. All that WA/IOC wanna have is as most flags as possible and the pretense of universality - they do not care about the athletes AT ALL.

    • I would expect a competitive game that could go both ways.    Nicaragua will be riding the momentum from their 2-0 start to qualification and their pitching has been great so far.   Taiwan should be the favorite but for some reason, they decided to not select a bunch of players that were on the team that won the Premier 12 tournament and opted for younger players. However, the home crowd will be a huge advantage for them still.
    • Yeah, not looking good for  despite the win today.
    • Unfortunately Wierer has been sick all the time since last year. She misses an average of 2-3 weeks per season due to illness. I don't know if this can be solved in any way during the Olympic season? Immunity medications, isolation from other people during the season?   I don't know what will happen with Vittozzi. However, the completly miss of starts throughout the all season will be a problem for her. Especially since a lot of younger rivals have appeared since last year.
