German doping cover-ups

I think a certain “unique” aspect of history is why that German privacy law is what it is today…

Fair enough. They can do what they want internally.

But that’s no basis upon which to grant an exemption from WADA requirements, membership in which is purely voluntary.

Ah sprintgeezer it's good to have you back posting

I'm partial to a bit of self aggrandisement

At the moment I'm getting my daily fix from the venerable Thoughtsleader

Wasn't the story supposedly that after the east west got amalgamated the remnants of the eastern doping regime remained active

If I recall one of the discredited coaches was working with the british rowers

Wasn't healing hans based in Germany and Bolt was allegedly stopping off for "special" massages

Lol I’ll take what I can get, even if it’s from myself. You know what I mean😁

It’s only because nobody would ever give credit for anything on this board, and that’s cool too.

Plus I was writing that stuff when maybe a bunch of posters here were still in diapers😂. I’d link to it if I really cared

Why is Kenya still accredited in this day and age with over 400 frauds? Russia was KOd for a lot less. Yeah, the Kenyan govt/fedaration are complicit. They look the other way and collect glory - and the kickbacks which are the lifeblood of most African govts and organization besides foreign aid. But Africans are sacrosanct, above criticism to the woke. Which is why they’ve gone nuts rehashing the mean old Soviet and East German etc scandals. Gotta keep everyone’s attention off those poor Africans.

Silent bans to protect the sporting brand. Contrary to the deluded know it alls on here increasing testing, transparent banning will actually destroy the sport.

You think if Bolt, Ingo, Kipyegon etc got done the sport would recover? Nobody would trust any result ever again.

Their all on it. The politicians are lying. The rich don't believe in merit. Everybody is fake, because the world is a giant deception.

This is why the innocent heart refused to grow up, and gods emerged in those minds. Cosmic justice for all sinners in the end, but not here, not ever.

Please authorities continue to cover it all up, because I care more about the sport than the truth. The truth IS NOT YOUR FRIEND. If one truly faced the truth of life one would have to choose to be a psychopathic predator and abandon all belief in virtue.

Human life at it's best is a fiction written atop reality, congruent enough with it not to fall apart but never fully real.

I don't really care anymore either.

It still goes on,there. I remember a German decathlete from about a decade ago,who looked completely roided out of his skull. He won a european title,and he looked hideous.

Gilled

Bolt was going to Hans from an early age for medical treatments.

The sport might actually expand its base after the initial recoil of seeing scores of cheats bounced. Since the majority of those cheats would be Africans their defenders are in a panic, what with Ruth showing that the doubters were right again.

…i.e., if you consider 16 is “an early age”.

Agree 100%. Have enjoyed the insight on posts by Thoughtsleader, Sal Stitchmo, and Francis Fratelli as of recent.

Sad to say that I don't have any particular insights, just observations.

After a long time in this, I don't think there are even any insights to be had. It just is what it is, and it's clear as day. The world churns, things change, you can't get into a rut.

One thing I do wish is that people paid more attention to procedure. If WADA wants to grant Germany an exemption, then make it explicit, and detail the grounds so that it can inform other current, and future decisions, and so that it can be monitored, and maybe voted on again, etc. Don't just take the institutional bs cop-out of trying to bury it and ignore it. Get real. Do something substantial, not just political--and if you're going to be political, then man up and lay it out there, and defend it.

It's the chicken-shltness of the way things are done that bothers me. And yeah I know ALL ABOUT administrative procedure--which if people actually understood, they would be better at clarity, transparency, and disclosure.

The subject line if false. There was no cover-up. The athletes were caught and suspended. The only issue is that their names weren't released due to legal concerns. Yes, the German national doping agency could try to push on that so it can release doping bans, but it's not covering up positive PED tests. Get your facts straight.

Why them though? For thousands of years civilizations have some terrible things.

I explicitly stated that it was the names/identities that were covered-up.

And since they were the names of only those who were doping, it is a doping cover-up.

Don’t be a loser. You know what the post and the title mean.

Britton Wilson visited healing hans sometime in the past year.
