Christine Ohuruogu wants the IAAF to get tough with other federations

where to begin...

I'd start by applying your palm to your face.

Then move onto the head to your desk.

Along those lines, the brazen hypocrisy of her calling for the IAAF to get tough is breathtaking.

FINA: China Sought To Let Sun Yang Swim On Without Sanction After Doping Positive

1. The collection of the sample occurred on May 17, 2014
2. As is normal in a case administered at national level, FINA received a copy of the lab report identifying an AAF. At this stage, the name of the concerned athlete is not disclosed to FINA.
3. In the following months, FINA followed up the result management with requests of information on the status of the matter.
4. On September 18, 2014, FINA was informed that a decision had been made which did not include an ineligibility period. On the same date FINA was informed that a sanction of 1 year ineligibility was imposed on the doctor of the athlete.
5. FINA drew the attention of the China Swimming Association on the fact that a decision without period of ineligibility would not be compatible with the rules. FINA therefore asked for a reconsideration.
6. On November 21, 2014, the final decision providing for a period of 3 months of ineligibility was notified to FINA. FINA, and later WADA, confirmed this decision and decided not to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne (SUI)

September 18 fell on the eve of racing at the Asian Games in Incheon, where Sun raced to three gold medals and was photographed on the deck receiving treatment and care from Dr Ba during a one-year ineligibly period that had been backdated to May 17, 2014, the date on which the sample that left to Sun?s AAF was provided at China nationals.

Under the WADA Code, both Sun and Dr. Ba could be sanctioned for their respective and different roles in working in sport at a competitive as or with a person/entity serving a suspension under anti-doping rules. By the time the two appeared in Incheon working together, FINA had informed China that it could not impose ?no sanction? against an athlete who had tested positive. And yet, both swimmer and banned doctor worked on, in full view and knowledge of the China national swimming team at the Asian Games and the Chinese Swimming Association, a member of FINA

Change of code today: League instead of union

Two Welsh rugby league players banned for anabolics in each case.

2 year ban for each, they each admitted the charge (waived B sample) and the sample collection was late 2014 so the standard ban under the code in force at that time.

FINA: China Sought To Let Sun Yang Swim On Without Sanction After Doping Positive

Very, very interesting. FINA doesn't know the name of the athlete because they weren't the Anti-doping Authority. They know there was a positive, but don't have uniquely identifying information. This is why the UCI bends over backwards to be the anti-doping authority for every WT race.

Marathon running sponsor not inviting athletes with a doping sanction.

Also interesting they are stretching the winner's payment out over 5 years in the sense they can stop payment for anti-doping positive. Yes, it substantially discounts the topline number. Unlike cycling, this is real money in a much larger sport.

Both are sound ideas until the federations decide to enforce positives.

One of my bosses was recently skiing and in the group was a well known English cricketer.

He was texting me and I asked him,to ask this cricketer if he ever took any banned substances whilst playing.

Apparently, for the last 3 years of his career he would fly out to Munich every Monday for injections of steroids and other banned stuff in his knee. He was far from alone on the flight apparently. Allegedly on the flight were 3 other cricketers and 2 footballers!

Yet its cycling thats dirty.

Hamza Driouch, Qatari middle distance runner gone until Dec 2016 for Passport issues. (Caught just before the end of the two year ban)

Recent training partner of Mo Farah.

(There is a photo on Driouch's twitter of them training together, Feb 3rd, but I can't get to twitter on my work internet. Someone one else could, though...)

Tony Underwood apparently still has nightmares about that WC match.

Hamza Driouch was banned for a bio passport ADRV and the disqualification of results starts 2 August 2012, when he was at the London Olympics, at the age of 17, He'd won the 1500 m at the 2012 World Junior Championships on 12 July, a title he gets to keep. It seems quite possible that his first bio passport test was at the Olympics.

He was banned from 31 Dec 2014. If the pictures are from the time of upload Driouch was banned there, but from the messages and the other photos I get a feeling they can be older.

There is a pic of him from the 2012 Junior worlds, with the message: Great memories world junior chompionship # work hard.
He also uploaded this picture the same day in January, which I think is from the qualifying heat at the Olympics, the day after the bio passport test that brought him down.

He came second in the heat, after Mohammed Shaween of Saudi Arabia. Shaween was banned for bio passport anomalies in 2013.

Farah claims he doesn't know Driouch, even though he's been photographed with him traveling, eating and training together.


But rest assured,

There is no suggestion that Farah himself has done anything wrong

IAAF is of course on top of the case:

it seems likely that the IAAF will want to speak to him since they have a policy of investigating any breaches of the ban on training.

Among the questions being asked are why Farah moved his training camp from Kenya to Ethiopia this past off-season. Some of the speculation is around the increased WADA presence in Kenya.

Farah is sadly too big to fail.
