Paula Radcliffe wishes that Justin Gatlin and Tyson Gay were grounded forever

I agree with her. She's right. Get rid of the cheats for good. And also throw their times out.

Lance, Marion, and Sammy.

There are two kinds of positive tests. The ones where the athletes knows they are taking a banned substance and the ones where the athletes has no clue. How do you distinguish the two? It's tough to know who to believe, that's why I don't like lifetime bans. If I'm taking protein that somehow got contaminated in the lab I don't want to be banned for life.

An overly simplistic response to a complicated issue.

Just like in any legal act, there are varying degrees to intent, recklessness, culpability, the harm caused and the act itself etc. We don't treat a traffic ticket the same way as murder. Should she we assume any athlete caught cheating at age 30 was cheating at age 20? In Gatlin's case, he served a 4 years ban, which 9 times out of 10 is a life sentence. Perhaps his punishment to some seems trivial because he has made such an incredible comeback. l assure you that any professional athlete losing 4 years in the prime of their career is not a lenient punishment. What Gatlin is doing now speaks to how naturally talented he is without drugs and the fact that for 4 straight year he never stopped training. In Gay's case, WADA was able to verify that he cheated during a short window and with some level certainty that he did not take part in the purchase, acquisition and cover-up of his drug use. Gay did not use masking agents, competed in meets with the drugs in his system knowing he would be tested, which would make him incredibly stupid or perhaps he was not aware he was doping. All of that aside, Gay was treated the same way the U.S. legal systems handles all of crimes, if someone provide information or in some way benefit the court and law enforcement, you are allowed to plea bargain down your sentence.

I have no pity for drug cheats, but being reasonable, there is absolutely no way you can simply say a lifetime ban and remove all of an athlete’s performances from the record books.

None of you have any evidence against Radcliffe none. None of the crap you mention here is evidence.

What petulant spiteful children you are.

methinks the lady doth protest too much

They all do it...with Michael Johnson leading the band. In britain it's Seb Coe, Radcliffe and Holmes who do the same.

Sad f*cks. Running jacked on roids and EPO troughout their carreer...and now playing holy pope if it comes to crusify active athletes.

MJ is one of the very biggest and most obvious frauds

he was protected

I know, I've heard the story from inside Nike. IAAF cut a deal there, that's why he was a no show in Edmonton whilst he could had won that on one leg. He was allowed to go on the farewell relay tour, but couldn't enter serious competition.

Paula thinks the best defense is a good offense.

Well, Michael Johnson was an obvious doper, yes. Whether he was a "fraud" depends on your POV. Was Geb a fraud? El G? Wariner? And on and on and on...

What does Radcliffe think about deleting the doped performances of Rog Bannister, Seb Coe, Mo Farah, etc.

EVERYONE knows Sosa and Jones tested positive. Jones was the highest profile victim of the EPO test. Have you been living in a freaking cave?

Lance's doping was exposed via biological passport. That's as good as caught.

Try harder.

Um, that ESPN story is a joke; there is no record of the Sosa test. It is pure speculation. "Sources report," and "he said," etc. THERE IS NO PROOF.

Also, no positive tests for lance.

Hey, Sources say that paula was a cheating doping rotten teeth ho.

So, paula is every bit as innocent as lance, sosa, rupp, flojo, MJ, marion. No LEGITIMATE positive tests yet.
