  1. 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.
  2. Team GB is set to be renamed Team UK.
  3. 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.
  4. Shubenkov is the oddest. How as a Russian he managed to get off and even get an apology I don’t know.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. A very complicated web with lots of athletes being de facto accused in that article.
  10. This is why i suspect we will not see any NHL Players in Bejing.
  11. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/58193282 Jacobs break is not due to injury according to his coach.
  12. https://swimswam.com/news/coronavirus-news/ He pulled a contamination defence.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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
  16. The issue is that in the countries with rewards for winning is that there is less funding for those who don’t win.
  17. I hate that system. Considering nearly all of the participants are in the individual what real effect does holding both have.
  18. Neither of those are even on Wiki which shows how disinterested people are. I do feel through a big scandal in football will come this decade - not sure what Country through.

  20. I suspect with footballers the clubs don’t actually tell the players what they doping them with. Too many Footballers are too stupid to be able to be trusted to keep doping secret forever more.

  22. Some interesting articles which tells us what Ujah’s defence is going to ( almost certainly going to fail) be. https://www.usada.org/athlete-advisory/growing-evidence-ostarine-athlete-risk/ https://www.sportsintegrityinitiative.com/trouble-ostarine-jimmy-wallheads-story/ https://www.bscg.org/ostarine-a-banned-substance-in-sport-and-illegal-dietary-supplement-ingredient/
  23. I mean in many of sports doping might give a bit of strength advantage but you still need to very talanted to stand a chance - you can’t go like Michelle Smith and go from obscurity to multiple champion in many sports just by doping.
