  4. The International Biathlon Union (IBU) has notified the Kazakh Biathlon Union that nine members of the Kazakhstan biathlon team are provisionally suspended, according to Article 7.9 in connection with Article 7.11. of the IBU Anti-Doping Rules. In order to guarantee fair competitions that are not affected by the substantial risk of doping sanctions, the following members of the Kazakhstan Biathlon team are provisionally suspended from participating in any IBU-sanctioned competitions with immediate effect, pending the final decision of a hearing into the alleged Anti-Doping Rule Violations (ADRVs): - Galina VISHNEVSKAYA - Alina RAIKOVA - Darya KLIMINA-USSANOVA - Olga POLTORANINA - Yan SAVITSKY - Maxim BRAUN - Anna KISTANOVA - Anton PANTOV - Vassiliy POTKORYTOV The review and provisional suspensions are based on criminal investigations in Austria and Italy. The provisionally suspended athletes are now given the chance to provide the IBU with an adequate explanation of the alleged ADRV. The IBU will then decide on what further proceedings are taken.
  5.

  6. I think the other commentator is the Englishman Patrick Kinghorn? He has had some controversial moments.... https://sg.news.yahoo.com/blogs/singaporescene/football-presenter-allegedly-bit-co-host-face-053313081.html
  7. In sports where England, Scotland etc play as separate teams (rugby, curling and (sometimes) hockey, the British NOC nominates an official team for Olympic qualification. This is always Scotland for curling and has been England for rugby and the European Championship part of hockey qualification. So, as you point out, if Wales or Scotland qualify for the Olympic rugby sevens via the World Sevens series and England does not then GB would not be allowed to take up their Olympic qualification.

  16. We were told Zielinski is officially the bronze medalist but the Polish Olympic Committee know nothing about it. So who knows?
  17. After backing down over Russia and doping they can't be seen to the same again. AIBA have made a disastrous mistake here. Three possibilities left 1 Rakhimov resigns. 2 AIBA is abolished 3 Boxing is removed from Tokyo 2020.
