Femke Bol just confirmed she won't run the mixed 4x400m. There goes the remote medal chance that was left after USA and DOM were placed back in the final.

I have a feeling Bol still wins a medal in 400h. I don't see anyone spoiling the McLaughlin/Muhammad/Bol podium

Muhammad wins the final heat.

Linkiewicz with PB and finished ahead of Zapletalova (who still advances as LL).

False start in this heat too and White is DQ.

Nugent got busted for running outside the lane in Heat 2 so it's been a total failure for them so far.

Jessie Knight crashed into the first hurdle

It would have been embarassaing in 100H but even more so in 400H.

False start in women's 400H heat Nobody DQ.

17 minutes in and vs are pulling away, This looks like a very predictable and boring event for sure.

vs for bronze and everyone else doesn't matter

First week of training camps and Carson Wentz is out indefinitely with a foot injury already

The BBC highlights show points out the issue also occurred during the second heat and it affected Brazil in that race. 

We all know if Brazil was the only DQ team nobody would give a damn about it But once they decided to re-instate USA everyone else went for a free ride.

Thing about Dwain was that he was actually punished far more harshly than any other athlete of his own or this era.  He had to pay back all his winnings, had all his medals annulled, was forbidden from all Diamond League meets for life & served a full two year ban.  After his ban he was only allowed to run in Championship races for which he had qualified through the British trials. 

 

When does that ever happen now?  No-one ever pays back their winnings, only results from one year are cancelled, medals from previous years still stand & the Diamond League & other commercial circuits welcome all dopers back with open arms and full wallets.

And he did say he doped for performance gains. He must be looking at Justin Gatlin soaking up all the Nike cash and think WTF. I have to say I'm not really mad at Chambers anymore. At least he was honest in the end. Put that against Marion Jones who even lied to FBI, she was so far in her denial

The American Courts. The Main reason  USTF has that trial format is because America is litigation mad and it would all end in frequent court battles. 

Those trials would end in out of court settlements anyway especially if an athlete who sues USTF would be suspended during a course of such trial (which makes sense since USTF would be treated as employer - isn't that what Jess Varnish argued vs British Cycling in the UK trial?).

Plus Nike (or any other sponsor) would probably pay enough money under the table for those #5 & #6 relay hopefuls so they don't file a case and block Richardson's place in the relay. Most things in USA usually come down to money in the end.

They couldn’t select her for the relay without breaking their own rules that say the only those who run in the final can be selected. As her result was annulled she didn’t. 

Who can stop USTF from changing their OWN rules? The IOC?  This is a complete technicality some lawyers make money from but casual sport fans deserve better than that. Whenever there's a will, there's a way.

USTF couldn’t legally ban Gatlin even if they tried. He would simply sue and win - CAS has made it clear governing bodies cannot ban athletes if they doping bans have expired. Blame CAS and The IOC because the IOC are only people who could put in place a rule that sees a lifetime ban from competiting for all dopers and get CAS to agree to it. 

USTF selected Gatlin to compete so they share the blame. The "it's all IOC fault" excuse doesnt hold ground. Somehow USTF didn't let Sha'Cari Richardson to compete in Tokyo (in the relay) so it shows they can shut someone down IF they only want to.

Anyway your country has a very suspicious past as well. 

Yeah, Dwain Chambers gave us tips for free

Lily King famously condemned Gatlin as well. 
 

Efirmova appeared in the relay and while it is unlikely they will beat the Americans in that one things might explode if they do in any of the three finals. 

Lily King doesn't run the USTF. USA speaks high morals when accusing Russians of all the doping evil yet they allow Justin Gatlin to compete and enjoy Nike sponsorship like he's a perfect role model or something. This is a hypocrisy of the highest order. I will always point this out and indicate how two-faced Ryan Murphy's sound like now.

Still not authorised by the USA president when Putin authorised and paid for Russia Doping. 

And who authorised Nike sponsoring Salazar's doping factory? Nike has a bigger budget than the entire Africa so spare me the excuses.

Unless of course you want to tell me that privately sponsored doping is okay and should be endorsed?

Just now, Orangehair43 said:

A dispute over rules is no where near the same as state doping. 

Tell that to Alberto Salazar and his NOP programme   Or just ask Kara Goucher what's really going on.

And the Americans have the nerve to call out others over cheating? They got away with a blatant cheat right there. Watch them trying to extend the men's leg in the final again
