Possibly, just took that from the official site that I linked, but it might have been written a while ago.

New favourite ??

Hmmmm.

I'm all for due process, and I am content that the AIU don't concede ground lightly, but even for me this one stinks. At best she's got a wilful disregard for the process and her anti doping body is at least complicit in not helping her to make sure she is compliant, and at worst she is deliberately gaming the system, knowing where the weaknesses lie.

just catching up the world half marathon champs. A few falls in the ladies race that maybe had an influence on the results. Nice to see some proper racing with no pacemakers and records getting broken. (not seen the mens race yet)

Yes misses the Olympics if it happens. Letsrun thread extract from judgment shows he lied in his defence. He was out shopping during his window.

Also read Naser's case analysis on Letsrun and think WADA should appeal.

Two athletes that aren't taking the whereabouts system seriously.

Stripping of London 2012 medals in 2020. Only a short BBC article, but does anyone know

1) Why were they retested - random or a tip off?

2) were they tested at the time? Were they only now caught because of new techniques?
