Athletics introdused the ABP in -09, they have banned many athletes based on it.
Unlike cycling...

Well, have a read. (This is the latest updated version, mind, there have been many)

To be fair, still not any real big fish iirc. Olympic champions are not all equal. A women's one from say Russia is like the equivalent of the semi finalists in the 100m. They won't dare take down a real star, one who's impact goes beyond 10 minutes of screen time and into things like the sale of Nikie trainers. Ps is that last comment from dopingnytt sarcastic?

Well its precisely from watching athletics that this obvious conclusion gets reached. The BBC didn't bother to show half the athletics final on their prime time highlights show. Bolt goofing around in the tunnel meanwhile was breaking news that required 10 minutes of analysis each time.peloton said:Olympic champions are not all equal? Have you watched athletics?

the sceptic said:del1962 said:JTL wishes he had a rich daddy and a sympathetic national doping agency
But the evidence says Kreuziger is clean, so that must mean he is clean. He doesn't need any rich daddys.
JTL on the other hand was a cheater and a doper. Nothing you can do about those people.

LaFlorecita said:To all the conspiracists:
Why oh why would WADA accept money from Tinkov and drop the case? Or are they corrupt too all of a sudden?
Surely the most obvious reason is that UCI and WADA realized, with the latest info, they weren't going to get him punished at CAS.

Yeah it is always nice when your national doping agency supports a clean athlete against the evil WADA

It's just the latest example of ridiculous excuses that wouldn't have flown a few years ago resulting in dopers evading a ban, and I do believe it's a worrisome trend.
