    It seemed reasonably popular in the UK as the BBC had two dedicated commentators cover the highlights of every final including the majority that had no British participants. For some sports like Artistic Swimming the highlights used OBS commentators.

    Slovakia might well get to replace Canada who look fairly likely to withdraw from the games because as it looks I think the next PM of Canada is pro boycotting the games on safety grounds.

    I can’t see it coming back after it is axed. It will be a bit awkward due to the French political pressure to reinstate Karate to then axe a sport after saying the programme is fixed.

    I imagine they will be a big reaction in China as it will surely make it very hard to displace the USA from the top of the table.

    Max Whitlock was asked on Instagram yesterday if he thinks a mixed team event will come one day to Gymnastics and he said it would be an interesting idea.

    Some like Holly Bradshaw are targeting the WCH, Commonwealth and Europeans. Pole Vault through is an event where competing a lot through the season is usual.

    Looking at the world rankings I doubt would have won any medals even with a full team.

    Through Northern Ireland is probably the area that least needs things like this to help improve the Union - everyone there is firmly committed one way or the other on this issue and things like this will change no one’s mind.

    Team GB is set to be renamed Team UK.

    If he was able to persuade a lot of the public through that he was a victim of contamination or even poisoning it could make him and the others seen as martyrs who lost due to poor labelling in a Japanese factory or an anti British plot. Back during the last Winter Olympics one of the BBC presenters described Alan Baxter who lost his medal as having it still in spirit.

    Shubenkov is the oddest. How as a Russian he managed to get off and even get an apology I don’t know.
  13. Orangehair43
    Well it might get his ban reduced from 4 to 2 if he provides the supplements and he can prove they were contaminated with both substances but it won’t save his teammates medal or his chance of representing GB again without further legal action.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/athletics/58216873 Ujah finally speaks and effectively tells us we looking at a contamination or poisoning defence which will fail. Can’t see many in Britain backing him at all considering the Times has done a no smoke without fire article today on some of his teammates and anyone backing him will get that treatment.

    https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1109434/sun-sights-on-paris-2024-doping-ban I suspect the last thing FINA want is him swimming at Paris.

    The times have found a link between Blessing Okagbare and CJ Ujah. Insusoect this will see more than one CAS case - the lifetime ban on representing GB is bound to be challenged as it was previously and there is no evidence CAS has changed it’s views on the issue.

    A very complicated web with lots of athletes being de facto accused in that article.

    This is why i suspect we will not see any NHL Players in Bejing.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/58193282 Jacobs break is not due to injury according to his coach.
  21. Orangehair43
    https://swimswam.com/news/coronavirus-news/ He pulled a contamination defence.
  22. Orangehair43
    Apparently they both prettysimilar in terms of formation could realistically exist in one substance (so might well have been taken together in one product) - which means you could just about claim double contamination which while being unsuccessful is only on the level of some other recent defences that have been tried and dismissed but without sounding entirely fictional.
  23. Orangehair43
    Imagine if we find out Tandara and Ujah got it from the same source. One of the British papers is bound to try and imply he was poisoned by Italy or Russia or China or any random country. It feels the obvious route the press will go down. I mean the daily Mail article on Ujah calls the investigation into Jacobs a doping probe.
  24. Orangehair43
    Many banned substances in shooting are in competition only or would only really be effective in competition even if banned all the time round. There are few out of competition stories of Doping
