But federation has not disclosed the name and keeping the news low profile to avoid tainted image. Rumors are that the two athletes are Seema Poonia and Nirmala Sheoran.

I remember there were reports some time back about AFI not knowing where Seema was. It was later revealed that she was training in Russia. So, sadly, won't be surprised if she fails the test. Similarly, for Nirmala, with Yuri Ogorodnik as coach, it is quite possible. Edited July 28, 2016 by Dolby Partha_SG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope and pray they come clean, a few more can lead to our suspension as a nation like Russia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gvaisakh 23 Posted July 28, 2016 Author #3396 Share Posted July 28, 2016 UPDATED (1st Page - 3rd Post) Sorry for the delay. Got held up with work 4th post will include the result of all athletes at Rio 2016 5th post will include the daily schedule of Indian athletes at Rio 2016 (Will be updated by 31st July) Those who were part of the old Totallympics and were members during London 2012 knew that I posted detailed list of each athlete and predicted the expected performance of each & every one. I might not do it this time due to crunch of time and also other members have already made lot of predictions (hence, it will be more of duplicate posts) ONE IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT TO ALL INDIAN MEMBERS HERE - During London 2012, there were lot of arguments among our members and some of them turned out to be bad ones and I was forced to warn few members. This time, since the number of Indian members has increased, I am expecting more arguments but please make it healthy discussions and please avoid foul language or disrespect any member or nation or athlete WISHING EVERYONE AN ENJOYABLE RIO OLYMPICS 2016 & WISHING BEST WISHES TO INDIAN CONTINGENT Dolby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolby 651 Posted July 28, 2016 #3397 Share Posted July 28, 2016 As usual, good work @gvaisakh. I hope you will continue to give daily predictions/assessments at least. Regarding arguments, completely agree. With the huge increase in members, some friction is bound to happen. Already we had some heated discussions regarding Tennis and Wrestling. During Olympics, passion would be higher, so number and level of arguments is bound to increase. I, personally, follow some rules to minimize the arguments I am part of. I am sharing them here, so others may follow it if they want. 1) Ignore users who I find biased, bigoted, silly or just looking for trouble. Luckily, I don't find any such users in Indian community but there are a couple in the forum. So, I only reply to them with fact and never with opinion. I even try and avoid posting about those users' countries as much as possible. 2) Limit number of posts on a particular topic. If I find that an argument is going on for a long time, I tend to stop posting about it even if the discussion has been civil. 3) Assume that other users are not idiots, are genuine sports fans and have no malice. 4) When in a real bad mood, just log off. I follow these rules because I don't see any benefit from participating in arguments here from a strictly Return On Investment point of view. Also, I would like to give one more advice to some of the new users, post in other threads as well. It will improve your experience here. gvaisakh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gvaisakh 23 Posted July 28, 2016 Author #3398 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Couple more things to add to what @Dolby said 1) Be active in other threads also.. Don't confine to Indian National Thread alone 2) I am sure everyone will be glued to TV or online streaming when an event happens.. So no need to post minute by minute update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_RP 5 Posted July 29, 2016 #3400 Share Posted July 29, 2016 The rumours abt nirmala and Seema seems to absolutely premature Although NADA did say that quite a few results were awaited, there is no evidence to suggest their doping......
