london Olympic champion Turkish Cakir Alptekin dopes positive

Yes, but if you committed professional misconduct in another walk of life (say for example a teacher sleeping with a student, or a doctor doing something really serious), wouldn't they be out of a job too? Without a second chance? Is the issue not that meet organisers can't exclude dopers, because it's not the rules of the sport? And if they can't ban for life, can they change the rules so that the ban is for a stupidly long time, like 15 years or something?

I agree.

shocking, just shocking.

check out the video of the race: right after the race, the two Turks, who finished 1-2, have interesting expressions. The winner, in particular, does not show elation but guilt-ridden consciousness of what she did to get there.

Nice Turkish acne on display.

But man, that jaw on Uceny.

I do find it interesting that a number of dopers do seem to feel no joy when they do. Perhaps they should do the rounds and speak how their wins just did nothing in the end showing another reason why doping doesn't work.

I do think that sports should be able to regard doping as gross misconduct and fire their asses for a lifetime ban. It's ridiculous they can't and I'm uneasy that Chambers is so accept by UK Athletics again at both the management level and his fellow athletes, I don't blame americans for hating on Dai Green on his seemingly hypocritical statements about an American doper and Chambers. Sure Chamber is the most repentant athlete who ever doped but the Science tells us he is still has a likely benefit for the work he did on the dope.

Agreed. And if Chambers was really that repented and wants to be respected, he would have walked away from the sport years ago, and stop constantly hogging the limelight. It's very easy to be sorry when you realise athletics is the only thing you can do!

To be fair on UK:Athletics, they did all they could to not have to pick him for anything.

It's only because they had to that they did.

Update on Alptekin? No decision since March?

A very marginal translation of this has some info.

Yeah, I wondered if she's been stripped of her medal.
