Today was a really bad day for Iranian sport in general. we had two doping cases among our national team members.

 

while official media still refuse to use their names. everybody knows who they are.

 

Bahman Askari, World Champion in Karate and one of our biggest gold medal chances in Tokyo. that was really shocking. I really don't think you need doping in Karate. our Karate federation claims he proved he doesn't use the drug intentionally but still the suspension is inevitable . they just hope to reduce his ban. I'm afraid he will also miss the Asian Games where he was the defending Champion.

 

the other name is not revealed yet. officially it's a member of women's taekwondo team. but I know that's Youth Olympics Champion Yalda Valinejad. she got caught by our local NADO and her suspension has nothing to do with international organizations. she was supposed to participate at the Asian Championship few days ago but all of a sudden pulled out after the draw. which was suspicious at the time. now we know why she did that. I believe using the drug has something to do with our coach pushing he to cut lots of weight in order to make the 57kg. doping is a bad thing but doping for such a young athlete is much worse.

It's almost clear that Iran is going to send 66 athletes to Tokyo. from this list of 63 you have to remove Bahman Askari unfortunately but add Sorayya Aghaei (Badminton), Farzaneh Fasihi (Athletics) and Mehrshad Afghari (Swimming). another one will be added Mehdi Pirjahan (Athletics)

 

of course some of them are not official yet. our Karate federation is desperately trying to save Askari but they already know they have no chance. it seems he proved he didn't take it intentionally but still that will only reduce his ban, won't save him for the Olympics.

 

that guy in swimming also reached the OST mark which I believe is not enough to guarantee you a spot in the Olympics but since Iran has no other swimmer I believe he is safe to go.

 

if nothing happens Iran will have 53 male and 10 female athletes in Tokyo. so this will be the biggest number of women for Iran at the Olympics.

As one of the most active National Threads on Totallympics, I would like to inform you that if you are interested I could create a sub-domain only for Iranian sport fans, named like iran.totallympics.com (and where instead of iran we can put any word you prefer), with the same structure of Totallympics (sections, threads etc.)and in your own language.

 

You can find more info in this thread. Let me know if you are interested

Today is 1/1/1 in Iranian calendar. (1/1/1401 to be accurate) these last 5 years were extremely tough, lots of lives lost.

 

hopefully the new year and the new century brings good things to the country first and our sport second. it was hard/impossible to improve in anything considering the situation, but still last year was OKish in term of sports results, specially the Olympics. hopefully this year will be better with Asian Games and some other important events.
