Tyson Gay tests positive

[Briant_Gumble]

Odd, and strangely impressive.

But why did they even bother to also search Powell's room if he threw his people under the bus? It's going to be outrageously neat in there. No smelly socks even.

Definitely an interesting development, it's unclear if he was freaking out or if was in a calm Machiavellian state of mind.

As for his room before making the call I expect he went over it with a fine tooth comb to remove any traces of PED's then went back and tried to make it look natural; pubic hair on the soap, smelly socks everywhere, bags of potatoe chips on the table, beer cans from last night on the window sill etc.

Too much work for a sprinter if you ask me. And pubic hairs WILL be analysed, however short they may be.

I'd just buy some colorful bra's and panties off local working girls and litter them around the place.

Apparently a Brit went 9.91 a few days ago. Anybody know who he was?

Donavan Baily is cool because he took away Carl Lewis world record a few years back, made me smile that.

 

[Cloxxki]

It looks more and more like an organized take-down f some bigger names to keep control over the game, while of course keeping Bolt out of the mess. Doubt he could test positive if he tried to.
The dozens of pro athletes from Russia and Turkey sacrificed didn't really leave a mark, so they had to up the ante, catch some Jamaicans who were looking too slippery. How they could influence USADA...not sure. But they could spike Gay, and his words may have meant something like that.

Cheers. I briefly saw his run on the news where he smashed everybody out of sight but then forgot his name.

 

[Carlo Algatrensig]

I find it a bit intriguing that Dasaolu set that time in the semi final and then didn't compete in the final because of an injury. He didn't look to injured to me how he finished the race.

 

[martinvickers]

Have to say i'm finding the whole Powell/Gay story bizarrely intriguing - Powell ASKING for a raid? Either he might actually be a victim (bloody stupid one though), or he's a doping b***tard with balls of steel.

Here's an IAAF positive summary/editorial http://www.3wiresports.com/2013/07/14/tracks-dirty-day/

That site is super-IOC friendly, so it sells the "IOC is advanced, aggressive anti-doping so the Olympic sports are for-reals" story frequently.

BTW, not saying all sports. But IAAF and UCI are pretty identical when it comes to anti-doping.

Strange you'd mention this. Do you feel it's relevant? By that I mean would you be more inclined to believe someone who was the same religion as you?

Genuine question as I'm not religious.

King - I said the opposite namely despite Indurain being (presumably) a Church going Catholic he looked dirty on a bike. My point was that personal attacks on dopers for their moral failings make no sense. A virtuous man might dope and a rogue might be clean. This forum is about their actions and nothing else.

The Jamaican angle of all the IAAF positives takes another strange turn. The coach for the positive Jamaicans has been detained by Italian police, room searched.

Ah ok, thanks. I should learn to read properly.

Anthony Galea!

The Canadian at the centre of track-and-field doping accusations was a long-time employee of a Toronto sports medicine clinic operated by Dr. Anthony Galea, who pleaded guilty in 2011 to importing “misbranded” drugs, including human growth hormone, into the United States.

After two top Jamaican sprinters, Asafa Powell and Sherone Simpson, acknowledged that they had tested positive for a banned stimulant, Mr. Powell’s agent blamed the test result on Chris Xuereb

What a great business. No certifications required!

Looking forward to hearing Powell's excuse for why this guy was hired.

It will be hard to explain away "he was the only guy who was willing to break the law" but I'm sure they will try.

Blaming someone else has never been tried before. Think WADA will buy that?

Xuereb has some interesting things to say about the strategy, though:

Full statement from Powell, Simpson trainer Xuereb

"...We need to remember that in addition to Asafa and Sherone, three other Jamaican athletes tested positive at the 2013 Jamaican trials. I had no contact with these athletes nor do I know them.It is time the athletes took responsibility for their doping instead of looking around for a scapegoat whether that person is their therapist, bartender or anyone else....

So track has athletes who fail the IQ test of glow time, and they are so bad at lying that they run away from the hint of a hard question. That's painting yourself in a tight corner. How would a clean person with ample media experience handle this?

You mean like the Stage 17 strike after the hotel raids in the Festina scandal?

The pullout of Astana after Vino tested positive?

The pullout of Cofidis after Moreni tested positive in 2007? Followed by the French rider strike on Stage 16?

Or, Wiggo and his c**** statement?

Or, Froome and his most recent "I've worked my a*** off to get here, now I'm accused of being a cheat and a liar"?

Fortunately, cyclists would never behave like spoiled, petulant track stars when faced with the issue of doping.

Frankly, when I read about that incident all I could think of was the spillover from cycling behavior.

Considering wiggins was labelled a hero in this country for his - ****ers and losers, speech, i expect the reception would be somewhat similar for that too.

Pathetic, I hope she gets hounded about questions about her own doping now and not just about questions about the sport in general.
