I've been told that all the 6 finalists in the 1944 American Championships 100m were disqualified for false starts. This is the worst case since then.

"Mechanical doping reached a new level when Puertas and his new turbo charged Mercedes engined bike won easily. He will now try to be the first man to win the Tour De France and Italian Formula One Grand Prix in the same year"

Sorry - I missed that Truman competed in the qualifying round. Bigham was the 5th man in the pursuit.

4+4 Bigham doesn't get a medal because he didn't race.

So far 8 British riders have won medals, 4 of them are 21 years old or younger. Scary.

Superstar!

I think I may have said this before but GB were very worried about their chances in Rio but confident that a new generation of cyclists would be successful in Tokyo Sorry...

Very surprised to see GBR qualify fastest. They have Ed Clancy but the rest of the team is just a sprinter and 2 amateur riders

This is wrong then? http://www.futsalmarche.it/nazionali/serie-a2-girone-a/player/0/13829

Bahamian Olympic icon Sir Durward Knowles died on the afternoon of February 24 at Doctors Hospital in Nassau, New Providence. He was 100 years old. Knowles, who had been admitted to hospital earlier in the week, succumbed to kidney failure and other complications. He was surrounded by family and his minister as he passed. Nicknamed ‘The Sea Wolf’, Knowles was introduced to the sport of sailing by his father who was himself an ardent sailing enthusiast. His first major international competition was in 1946, when he and crew Robert Levin finished third in the Star World Championships in Havana, Cuba. The following year, they teamed again and won the Star World Championship in Los Angeles, USA. The Bahamas had no Olympic Charter of its own in 1948, so to participate in the Olympics that year, Knowles and crew Sloane Farrington traveled to London where they handily won the British elimination series, and qualified to represent England at the London 1948 Olympic Games. In those Games, the Bahamian pair finished fourth, having suffered a broken mast in one race and a disqualification in another. Knowles’ place in Bahamian history was assured when he and Farrington succeeded in winning his country’s first Olympic Medal, a Bronze at the Melbourne 1956 Olympics. He ultimately claimed the top Olympic prize in 1964, when he won a Gold Medal with Cecil Cooke as crew at the Tokyo Games (above photo). In total, Knowles took part in eight Olympics – seven straight from 1948-1972, and again in 1988 in Seoul, South Korea, for an independent Bahamas. Other accomplishments include Gold Medals at the Pan American and the Central American and Caribbean Games. Knowles was also the proud bearer of the flag of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul Korea. Knowles was knighted in 1996. In 1997, he was awarded The Bahamas’ Order of Merit. In 2014, the second Legend-class patrol boat of the Royal Bahamas Defence Force was commissioned as HMBS Durward Knowles. In May 2016, following the death of Sandor Tarics, Knowles became the oldest living Olympic champion. That claim now gets passed on to Finnish skier Lydia Wideman, age 97, who competed at the Oslo 1952 Olympics.

So if you finish 4th over the line with no points and one of the first 3 across the line gets disqualified you can literally move from last place to a medal?

Interesting point. If one of the top 3 tests positive then who wins bronze?

Except the women.

Will update the lists after the Olympics ends.

"The athlete is reported to have waived their right to opening the B sample so ADRV is accepted and will go through CAS tomorrow probably"

No - the test was for trimetazidine.

Something from a nasal spray it seems. Possibly the same substance the Russian boxer got disqualified for in Rio. If true this is a very minor doping offence - but her or the team medical staff must be the most stupid people in the world.

This is all very strange. Now even if he proves somebody sabotaged him he will not be able to have the medal given back to him. Because he admitted the doping violation at CAS,
