    Have any other broadcasters shown interviews during the race. The BBC has just interviewed Leamouth after her leg was completed.
  2. Orangehair43
    Yet NBC News app send news alerts announcing high profile victories not being shown live.
  3. Orangehair43
    The BBC highlights show points out the issue also occurred during the second heat and it affected Brazil in that race.
  4. Orangehair43
    Probably just the pundit’s opinion. I can’t remember what he said about podium protests and the controversy regarding Sun Yang in 2019 and Effimova and Herasimenia in 2016.

    On the BBC daily highlights show just now they ignored that Greenbank chirped up about doping, giving the impression only Murphy commented on the issue but then defended Rylov by saying he has been at the top of field since Rio and said that while it looked like Murphy was not directly accusing Rylov (that’s a stretch) he was still being unfair on him,

    Not sure they would. In the UK Jess Varnish got direct funding from UK Cycling - in the USA athletes are not paid by the governing bodies ,

    I met him once back around the time he was undertaking legal action against the BOA. He was quite friendly.
  8. Orangehair43
    That only happened as he admitted to the BBC what date he started using the drug - he still has his medals from the 1999 Worlds and 2001 Goodwill games as he claims he didn’t start using it till 2002. When he was initially banned he didn’t lose his 2002 results as he told the IAFF nothing about his 2002 use. Very few athletes admit to when they started doping.

    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.
  10. Orangehair43
    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.
  11. Orangehair43
    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.
  12. Orangehair43
    Anyway how can you be so angry about Salazar but be so pro Russia.
  13. Orangehair43
    Lily King famously condemned Gatlin as well. And Russia should be banned because they committed state sponsored doping and every whistleblower and Anti doping organisation in the world recommend a total ban - but the IOC and CAS disagree with that. 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.
  14. Orangehair43
    Still not authorised by the USA president when Putin authorised and paid for Russia Doping.
  15. Orangehair43
    Your comment shows even more hyperbole than me.
  16. Orangehair43
    A dispute over rules is no where near the same as state doping.
  17. Orangehair43
    Michael Johnson - while American he admits to not being in favour of the mixed relay - said earlier the DSQ was likely to be overturned as he believed it to have been done wrongly.
  18. Orangehair43
    It will make it very unpredictable.
  19. Orangehair43
    Efimova has tested positive twice so she is well and truly proved to be a doper.
  20. Orangehair43
    Rather hard - would require many of the top teams to suffer big errors and perfect performances from all three Irish competitors.
  21. Orangehair43
    There are only 10 Russian Athletes. He hasn’t let in the relay teams and everyone else. And he clearly does hate Russia rather than many sports governing bodies who still love them. https://www.swimmingworldmagazine.com/news/ryan-murphys-pointed-criticism-of-russian-olympic-committee-was-warranted/ A good defence of Murphy and his actions.

    https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/olympics/tokyo-olymics-russia-usa-rowing-b1893219.html https://www.foxnews.com/sports/russian-rowing-silver-american-nasty-feeling Good on them.
  23. Orangehair43
    I wonder what the table would be like CAS allowed the rights of clean athletes to be respected and banned anything Russia.
  24. Orangehair43
    The UK was like that for Euro’s until the final which broke all modern records.
  25. Orangehair43
    I think ratings are down as well because Dressel and the other swimmers have failed to become breakout stars in the way Phelps have and athletics will do badly worldwide as there are no global stars to bring in the viewers.
