I will be shocked if anything comes of this case. Pleasantly shocked, but shocked.
With just testimony and no test or anything...unless they find some smoking gun like a file showing a positive test that was buried...this will most likely just fade away.
But it probably will shake up freaking Russia and shape them up a little.
six months later and nothing came of this
but savinova has disappeared, so there's that

This article about a Russian sprinter being pressured to take steroids back in the late 1960's and the indication that all top Russians sprinters were doing it-would seem to shine some light on the emergence of Valery Borzov at that time into sprint prominence.
out of over 800 middle and long distance runners caught possibly blood doping,or using epo from 2001-2012 , 414 of them were russian.yet funnily enough over 100 athletes also came from ukraine,and nobody talks about that.i wish i could find the link,but havent been able to.i think 77 were kenyan,around 80 were moroccan,32 were american,and so on.names havent been named,and the iaaf has been accused of a huge cover up.
