Jan Linha 470 Posted July 2, 2021 #1701 Share Posted July 2, 2021 If one athletes qualifies in 2 events and wants to keep both quotas, it means 2 quotas for one athlete. Should not one spot be reallocated? Showing an example of Jakob Ingebrigtsen.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHI2019 188 Posted July 2, 2021 #1703 Share Posted July 2, 2021 The last time someone at the Olympics was disqualified for marijuana use was in 2012 when judoka Nick Delpopolo tested positive after eating marijuana brownies.

There are target numbers per event which can't be extended in case of double starters (only if too many qualify directly and/or with universality spots). #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodu 13,540 Posted July 2, 2021 #1707 Share Posted July 2, 2021 10 hours ago, dcro said: Félicien Muhitira thrown off the Olympic team. Can Rwanda even afford that? https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1109656/rwanda-athlete-banned-tokyo-2020-covid Seriously makes you wonder what went on in his head. I mean, one can find the measures too strict or whatever, everyone knows they're there and what the consequences can be of breaching them, meaning being thrown off the Olympic team must have been a risk he was actively willing to take. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Remember that incident? Here's his story. I'm the guy who was disqualified from the Olympics for eating a pot brownie - Vox GB tennis player Dan Evans who is going to Tokyo was banned for a year for cocaine use. "Evans was banned from playing professional tennis due to testing positive for cocaine in April 2017. Evans claims that he took a relatively small amount of cocaine out of competition, but that some permitted medication he was taking was then 'contaminated' by the cocaine because he accidentally put the leftover cocaine in the pocket of his washbag, thus testing positive in-competition. Evans was eligible to return to the professional circuit on 24 April 2018, having completed a one-year ban." Sounds like Richardson may get off much more lightly even if she does miss the OG.
