Russian sports papers claims IAAF covered up 4 positives for Mo Farah

No.

In 2013 Russia ranked 148th out of 179 countries in the Press Freedom Index from Reporters Without Borders.

Like the press isn't jailed in the West? Take the rose colored glasses off.

Bad old Diack days are done. Good thing Coe wasn't running the sport alongside Diack.

500,000 from a minor sport's athlete? Crazy.

I have to get a job at usatf. I can accept bribes and nothing happens, like the IAAF's treasurer.

Oh... Wait a minute... Payback from the Russian federation? I think so!!!!!!!/

Coe no doubt pitching in.

Coe is regretting letting the head of the Russian federation out of his job. Any word on Ms. Radcliffe??? Hmmm?

I love success, but despise that gained by CHEATING and over the backs of those doing it right. THAT'S why. You're completely delusional if you think "hard work" is what the difference is.

I believe Mo to be dirty, but I doubt anything will come from this. To be honest, from the little I've heard so far, it doesn't sound particularly credible as far as hard-hitting accusations go - it sounds more like just an off-hand comment somebody made. That doesn't necessarily mean it isn't true, but it doesn't seem like enough to bring down one of the superstars of the sport.

And if it does start snow-balling, you better believe Salazar will disappear for a while and write a long, nasty open letter to put those Russkies in their places!

IAAF will try to shut this one down. Someone is getting a handsome golden parachute right about now.

Sounds like the Russian press, not known for truth, is trying to deflect. Why didnt they publish this a month ago?

The statement about "progress" that people are referencing is not translating properly in Google either. Basically "delo" (dely in the Accusative case) typically refers to something that happened: "affair", "situation" or something along those lines. What that line is essentially saying is that there is no cause of the issue (positives) being discussed. As in they aren't saying what he tested positive for, just that he tested positive up to 4 times.

The rest is reasonably accurate, such that no further comment is required.

Any other questions, post em'

Actually, should have paid more attention: "но ход делу не давали" refers to the fact that "no action/complaint was made in this case/affair".

So it is being reported that even though he tested positive, there has been no action taken against him.

Sorry- I'm a little rusty.

Altitude training in Kazhakstan. Perfectly normal.

Grow up people. The Russian's invented this tactic. It used to be called calumny. Today we just call it making stuff up to make the other guys look as bad as we do. There is virtually no independent press left in Russia. Nearly every publication and broadcasting outfit is a puppet for the Putin regime, directly or indirectly.

Actually, it was the good ol' ziho-nis-tas that ran the USSR back in the day that made calumny their modus operandi. Stop being PC, stop being dishonest.

Sorry, but that translation is poor. Happy to provide one of the entire piece, which is typical Russian deflect-and-defend stuff. Utter nonsense, of course. Anyhow, the last paragraph in Kommersant reads as follows:

"What is more, Russia is hardly the only country to have been caught up in such [corruption] schemes. According to one source, 'Similar cases of doping were covered up in the interest of other countries. Presumably, money changed hands. Lamine Diack was even known to make renewed demands years after receiving money to ensure that no new charges were brought forth.' This same source added that the acclaimed British runner Mo Farah, gold medalist in the 5000m and 10000m at the London 2012 Olympics, failed drug tests on at least four occasions. However, no case was ever brought against him."

Yeah, because if you remove the drugs it'll be a fair playing field, right? Where everyone is born with the same genes at the same altitude with the same facilities and coaching and training partners, right? Because we want this to be a fair sport.

Are you brain dead?

He was condemning those who beat others whilst using drugs. His claim was not that without drugs, everyone would have the same chance of winning.

Hello, Russian translator here:

The word "running" in Russian sounds like "BEG" (бег) and in the prepositional case will be "BEG-YEH" (беге). It can also mean "race" depending on context. He is the two time Olympic running champion from Britain. No mention of woman in there anywhere.

How about corrections to your lacking translation?

"no khod delu ne davali" is a colloquial expression for "the matter was not pursued any further". As in, he failed the test but no one took it any further.

Russian media are not the most reliable source but with Lamine Diack under arrest the whole integrity of the sport is at stake and anything is plausible. It wouldn't surprise me if anyone tested positive to begin with but with cover-ups and bribes out there it takes it to a whole different level.

Without confirmation from a non-Russian source one should be dismissive or highly skeptical of this claim, but with the head of the IAAF and anti-doping both under arrest, it now isn't implausible.

Before Seb Coe had been very dismissive of the person who leaked the IAAF blood values to the Sunday Times. He needs to try and speak to that person. The whole system was corrupt.

A few things need to happen immediately:

1) All blood values and 'A' sample test results need to be released publicly.

If this was being done it is less likely there can be a coverup.

2) Hopefully, French prosecutors can get access to all the financial accounts of everyone with a position of power at the IAAF.

3) Seb Coe needs to stop getting paid by Nike. Before this happened I wanted to publish an article "Seb Coe, not Sep Blatter, is paid by Nike" as I had seen articles comparing the two recently. The point being not that Seb is crooked (a lot of people are optimistic with him in charge), but it reeks of amateur hour. No other major sport has a head of it getting paid from a major sponsor. If integrity of the sport is the #1 priority you just don't do it. Hopefully, this will cause him to see the light.

The IAAF should pay Seb half a millio/ a million to be in charge. Clearly he need the Nike money otherwise he would give it up. By giving it up, he'll show the integrity of the sport and any hint of impartiality is gone.

Thanks, but as per my second post above, I in fact did already correct that. "Poka"

Hopefully there will be a paper trail leading to the arrest and imprisonment of guerrouj and geb and bekele and Radcliffe and moe
