Cahill's clients are an interesting bunch: Agassi, Hewitt, Halep and Sinner.

Dan Evans - was given a 12-month ban after testing positive for cocaine in 2017 I don't believe the cocaine narrative. This is UKAD's way of dealing with a systematic PED issue. A "cocaine bust" simply implies the athlete went to a couple of parties too many. Nice deflection. Anti-doping...

And on the subject of modelling contracts ... All the American female sprinters at the Olympics looked like supermodels. Is that now part of the profiling of potential talent? Are the commentariat are less likely to doubt the cleanliness of female athletes who possess Flojo looks? If so, then...

Not saying he's clean but he did look vaguely normal during the defeat. Perhaps he was unwell or had partied too hard the night before to celebrate the million bucks prize money plus new modelling contracts.

Watching Sinner v Draper live and Draper looks suspiciously clean.

Italian sport is a good litmus test. They attempted a clean up about 25 years ago (apart from in soccer) but now everyone is back on the bolognese sauce. Why bother to clean up when nobody else does?

Back when I was trolling on here more than 10 years ago, The Clinic was running this same story. My own modest research at the time revealed that Ethiopian track coaches studied at (from memory) Leipzig University before the wall came down, of course. The best anecdote on this blog was that...

There seemed a period when black American youngsters from the projects became reluctant to take the needle from white doping doctors in the burbs. These games have marked a sea change and it's back to where we were.

Jessica Hull 1500 silver studied at the University of Oregon. Who needs the dark web when wiki suffices? Presumably the Oregon project continues to offer overseas scholarships a bit like the Rhodes scholarship at Oxford.

10k silver medallist Nadia Battocletti is coached by her father. She's daddy's girl alright: Daddy Battocletti tested positive for Nandrolon at Campionato Italiano Maratone 12 June 1999 and received a 16 month doping ban.

I've just watched France Austria and thought Kanté's performance ridiculous. Is there a slush fund for veterans playing in a 2nd rate league but are prepared to take the needle "for old time's sake?"

Bryson DeChambeau a 400m drive on 18. Pure comedy gold.

I don't doubt she doped.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/amp/swimming/49137969 My interpretation is that the Australians are being told to STFU or else they risk exposure for the Anglo-Saxon hypocrites they really are. A measure of the power of the Chinese economy and its importance to the continuation of contemporary bread...
