I hope that USADA is doing their job.

I am not implying anything but improving Barnes' WR who was using PS throughout most part of his career should be carefully checked.

I doubt/hope not that it will be ratified. It was a clear foul (like most of his throws). Not surprised that American athletics doesn’t really care about the rules though ...

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

It is more than obvious that he is dirty, but American athletics certainly won’t take another medal contender out of the game. Someone like Ajee Wilson got away without a problem as well. Too bad that American money rules, otherwise the US might be in danger of getting the same treatment as Russian athletics.

I agree, money they invest in sports must be payed of, no matter what.

If i am not mistaken, USADA has sole authority over USA athletes, meaning that USA athletes arent tested by independent ADAs. Someone should correct me if i am wrong.

Is that fair? Surely not. One national antidoping agency cant be above all the others. 

50 cm improvement must be checked. If he is clear - well done.

We dont need another Armstrong, Marion Jones or Justin Gatlin.

Where is this foul? I can't see it.
