Russian allegation: British Olympic champ involved in doping coverup. Any insight on who it is?

Multiple media sources: British Olympic champ could be involved in doping coverup.

Umm, multiple media sources quote a Russian bureaucrat (who is mad about being blackmailed) concerning GB also having coverups.

If Rupp gets bumped to gold I think that will leave a soursal taste in everyone's mouth. There are no winners here.

The real question is whether the second part of "some prominent British athletes including Olympic champion and icon of the GB sports [sic]" refers to two people (firstly Olympic champion, and also someone else who is an icon), or just one (an Olympic champion who is also an icon).

Jon Orange will know. He will also say it doesn't matter since dope doesn't work.

Yes. Olympic format.

Answer the doorbell, Mo!!!

Don't know how far back they are going, but for my $$ Kelly Holmes would be the least-shocking name of the post-millenial athletes.

Of course there is already plenty of water behind the Radcliffe Dam.

How is this thread anything other than pointless gossip? Does anyone truly think LRC could have any "insight" beyond what is already publicly available?

IAAF is just track and field. I don't think it covers triathlon. The ABP would only be for EPO or Hypoxia Inducible Factor 1alpha stabilizer type drugs such as FG-4592 that increase erythropoiesis, which would not be of any use in the long jump and of minimal benefit in the heptathlon when compared to anabolic steroids.

Uh oh. That leaves just Mo.

I hope Tania tiger kittten does not get really mad and yell at Mo:

Oh no MoNo.

So, in other words, a really good source.

RJM - The amount of anti-Farah spam you post on these boards is truly remarkable, but also really sad. Especially all the attacks on his wife. Pathetic.

Look, if he is cheating, I obviously want him thrown out of the sport, but for better or worse, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

So, true! I was always suspicious how she was well behind Mutola (a man) and Graff then Olympic year comes around her muscles are bulging and she is suddenly invincible (and we now know any Russian she was beating was part of a doping regime).

Thanks for the feedback.

Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do to stop me and I do not care what you think...since you are an anonymous internet troll on this stupid LRC board.

Your only hope is not to look at any of my posts…ever again.

Good luck.

You will need it.

Hello there.

I hope this one is easier for you to read.

Hi Rojo, you know what's really a cover up? The fact Jamaica hasn't been stripped of the men's 4 x 100m relay from Beijing 2008, considering Nesta Carter has already failed the doping tests.

If this Russian is telling the truth (???), he says "Olympic champion" and "icon" with suspicious blood values, that is probably either Kelly Holmes or Mo, if true. I suspect this same Russian probably thinks Paula was an Olympic champion, and if this is who he meant, it is really old news unfortunately.
