'Wada approves deal for UK anti-doping to take charge of drug-testing in Russia'.
Only the UKAD can handle this! Well they are purer than pure.
Cue Blackcat.

Re:
BBC and others:
Lord Coe responded strongly, simply saying he was "angered and dismayed by today's kids' athletics announcement.
"We will not accept it. It's the kids who will suffer."
OF COURSE. IT'S THE CHILDREN WHO ARE SUFFERING.
(A) As far as Nestle's are concerned, CHILDREN are magical holes that turn cheap nasty chocolate products into literal gold.
(B) As far as Lord Coe is concerned, CHILDREN is a magical word that explains the success of the London 2012 bid. Maybe now this magical word can keep Nestle money?!

Re: Re:
Tom Robison 12 years old from Kent in England was asked for his opinion on the shocking news of the Nestle pulling out of athletics. “I’m shocked” said Tommy from his playground at school. “You come this far in your career as a young athlete, winning the egg & spoon race at age 7 and just went you start to see results in the standing long jump at age 12 you have the rug pulled out from beneath your feet by a greedy cooperate more concerned with fiscal results than the children”.
When asked what he plans to do now, Tommy remained upbeat about his career.
“I’m 12 years old, I have a lot to look forward to in athletics, Lord Coe has paved the way for a better tomorrow, yesterday after school I had a hot milk with my mother and realised that I have to maintain confidence knowing the at Lord Coe will steer the big athletics boat in the right direction”.

Re: Re:
Interesting situation - if there is a cast iron contract with no anti-doping / bad publicity type of get out, then Coe might be able to say that. Enforcing it though might be difficult and not cost effective.
I remember when RBS was bailed out by the UK government, they couldn't get out of the Williams F1 sponsorship deal they had due to a long term binding contract @ something like £20m / year.

Nestle's current contract with IAAF runs until the end of this year. Adidas pulled out last month a contract running until 2019
BBC quotes Coe: "Clearly it wasn't a decision made about reputation because, since 2001, they've been the global partner to the Tour de France and renewed at a moment when cycling was in its worst position around doping."
Interesting... If Coe thinks Nestle is lying, and is not pulling out because of reputation concerns, then what does Coe think is the real reason for their action?
It sounds like Coe thinks Nestles is out to attack his personal position? Could he be right? Do the Swiss chocolatiers/water privatisers/baby formula pushers have an agenda against Coe?
If so, I might lift my personal Nestle's boycott.

Re:
They tear into her very harshly, treating her as a jealous has-been that can't run anymore so instead she's trying to smear the good folks of the NOP!
The doping culture still rules while using tactics LA perfected years ago.

Doping is serious business. The only surprise about this is that it is so brazen.
