Thiago Braz fails doping test

Check the archives. I said he was doping back then. Brazil needed medals and looked the other way.

Look at Isbinayeva and tell me with a straight face that she was clean.

That’s the least concerning aspect of her persona at this point…

like ajee wilson?

Ooh! I see!!

In athletics news, another Kenyan Thiago Braz fails a doping test!!

😂😂😂😂😂

As clean as Moon and Morris ;-).

Yeah, unlike the French...

Lavillenie also got booed by the local Brazilian fans on the podium and was in tears. I felt so bad :(

Yeah, Braz came out of nowhere. I was hoping Lavillenie would get gold and Murer would medal before the home crowd.

At what point was their country banned indefinitely from international competition due to proven systemic doping?

No it's like the bank robber that is caught and has tons of cash on hand but the government can only prove that he stole x and they will only confiscate X.

I have seen this on big busts for dope dealers, illegal casino operators and other criminals so many get funds returned to them if the chain of command is comprised with evidence.

Major busts and aside from lawyers fees the criminals walk away with most of their loot.

Can you point to an example of this? Asset forfeiture is fairly straightforward and in most jurisdictions in the US you can basically indict money that is seized. Prosecutors have pretty wide latitude to go after funds and property that may be the proceeds of crime.

Are you high?

Brazil should be investigated. VERY deeply. I dont know exactly one thing, but it seems the main governing body for the doping procedures in Brazil is actually an institution from the federal government. Well, how does it add up with Braz and others?

It comes down with the 2016 olympics. Could it be possible that both the olympic comitee and Brazil government reached an agree to allow Braz and others to pass the drug tests? I mean, go to the Braz's profile at world athletics, and you will see he had an HORRIBLE performance in 2016, he just suceeded at the very specific 2016 olympics event. AND in 2017, 2018, 2019... are those the numbers of a very recently YOUNG OLYMPIC CHAMPION ("trained" by Bubka?)? The only time he would return with decent perfomance would be in 2021 (which lets be honest here: anything coming right after 2020, in a world of lockdowns, restrictions and VOLUNTARY DRUG TESTS, its without a doubt that some athletes took advantage of that).

Another very intrigating fact about Braz: his best perfomance would mostly be at the bigger events, like olympic finals, World championships, while it seems his PEDs cycle could not allow him to perform better at Diamond League finals, apparently.
