French 50k walker, Diniz, today had intestinal problems, á la Radcliffe during the marathon where a brown liquid was escaping their shorts.

That is old school. What I love is the guy in the same race who was disqualified ...

Quite possibly a majority. After all most athletes say they would accept death in a year if it meant winning a gold medal.Irondan said:To some people an Olympic medal is a matter of life or death apparently....BullsFan22 said:

Doping with strychnine could possibly get you a gold medal and kill you at the same time, so it's not something that I doubt.
Few more names in the 08 retests

lmao ITV report on how Bolt is so great. He eats yams and puts in "hard graft". It mentioned that 21/30 fastest 100m times were by dopers.
Conclusion: "Usain Bolt has probably saved the reputation of his sport"

Well there you go...again, not picking on the "-istan" countries, but you can't make this stuff up!BullsFan22 said:
I don't know what the sports scene or specifically weightlifting or boxing (two of the most brutal sports on the Olympic schedule) is like in 'stan-countries' (I hate writing that, because to me it's stereotyping, but that's just my thinking) as I've never been there and have never experienced their culture and how these brutal sports play a role to the not so well off youngsters there, but I will say going through such lengths as to use 'rat poisoning' is extreme. I've never been in an Olympian's shoe and I've obviously never been touted as an Olympic medalist, so I don't know the sacrifices these men and women have to make, but taking such substances would not be something I would readily take. Must be some real tough pep talks/brainwashing/threats to make me take something like that. Again, that's just my non-Olympian, holier-than-thou thinking on that.

She went fast in the semi as well - probably too fast, in hindsight. Quite surprising, but then we know about the Kenyan programme. 10 medals for them now - 5 gold, 5 silver

Another name to add to the pile of retest positives - Evgeniia Kolodko, who loses a shotput silver from 2012.
46 athletes from 98 named so far.
Nearly all from ex-Soviet countries - 22 Russians, 5 Kazakhs, 4 Azeris, 4 Belorussians, 4 Turks, 3 Armenians, 2 Moldovans, 1 each from Georgia, Ukraine.
30 of the named are weightlifters.
A lot of the positives have been for deydrochlormethyltestosterone, otherwise known as Oral-Turinabol - the drug all the athletes in the East German doping program were given. Seems notable - would think that there would be something more effective than drugs that were used so long ago.
Kolodko tested positive for this, and also ipamorelin - a growth hormone-stimulating peptide which I hadn't heard of before..

Re:
I've just scanned through the top 100m times and it seems the only person not to test positive apart from bolt in the top 50 is maurice greene!

Re: Re:
Not a surprise, the 100m is arguably the benchmark for doping in athletics. What is surprising is Maurice Greene. If the 100m is the benchmark for doping, then Maurice Greene has to be the stereotypical doped sprinter. He was at his best post Atlanta 1996 and early 2000's up to Athens 2004. This was the time when reports of widespread drug use at the USOC came out. I wonder if Greene was one of the runners that had positive tests wiped away. I hate to keep bringing that up, but I think it's interesting.

Paula Radcliffe on bbc 1 talking about Mo saying "the key change in Mo was when he moved from Alan Story to Alberto Salazar" She then continued to talk about how the switch aided his recovery, his strength and his end of run speed.
I also saw on twitter (sorry I can't find it now) a journalist implying that Paula had slagged Mo off when cameras weren't around. Anyone got any reason to believe Paula has a problem with Mo? As the mentioning of Salazar seems strange considering his doping implication was fairly high profile news.

Asbel Kiprop bottles it again, just as he did in 2012. Just goes to show that you can dope all you want but it's all meaningless if you can't put yourself in the right position in the final
Re:
Maybe Paula is just jelly of Mo's success at the Olympics. He's now won three goals, and perhaps another beckons, while she doesn't have any.

Watching the "women's" 800, I have to wonder, is the person who finished 3rd, I think the name was Wambui from Kenya... Is that another inter-sex athlete? Serious question.
Team Salazar crushing it tonight!
BTW does anyone know anything about Paul Chelimo? I've never heard of the guy and he almost pulled the upset of all Olympic upsets... Gotta wonder about that...

Re:
They are only catching ex-Soviet athletes? The testing and the retesting are both politicized. Apart from GB and the USA everyone else should go to the beach. No point in coming.
