"There are pills on the track"
Norwegian pentathlete Ida Marcussen complains that there are pills on the track at the world championship of athletics.
When asked were she saw the pills, she said it was on the training track today in Moscow. She says she don't know what pills they were, but that she fears that a lot of her competitors are doping.
She then goes on saying of course she did not know what the pills were, could have been ibux (headache medicine), then her trainer Udelhoven says, no that was no ibux.
When asked if this destroys her motivation, she says she is not here to take the gold, just to see how well she can do. It's sad for those behind the medalists, but when even they are doped, well she says she won't cheat to get a medal.
Norwegian commentators are quoted saying she should concentrate on herself, and try to do her own best, not think about what the competitors do. Obviously they can't see what's going on, even With 4 out of top 5 from Jamaica on the 100m.
