Letsrun, you're letting me down. I leave for ~ 6 hours and only 2 replies?!

Her comment is at least as bad as Sheila Reid's, concerning old, white men, which generated many pages worth of discussion.

Don't make me start trolling as an angry feminist in order to get replies.

Am I the only person here who sees the irony in a bunch of wound-up men whining on letsrun about "angry feminists?"

I'm guessing that you didn't get many responses because your original post was poorly constructed and because most don't know (or care) who any of those people are.

This will actually infuriate her. Or so she says.

There are rumours circulating that after the jamaican race both Canadians were drug tested.

A samples have both come back positive for the newly discovered "Cleves".

Awaiting testing on B- samples.

This is what my source at the CCES is saying.

Jeff Adams was also a doper

For what it's worth, this is his version of events, based off of an interview conducted by Athletics Illustrated. I don't know enough about the case to really offer an informed opinion.

"Jeff Adams: The CCES put Athletics Canada and I on opposite sides of the table – they acted as part of the prosecution against me, which I thought was a really sketchy decision – I mean, can you imagine the Police Association or any other professional association acting as prosecution against one of their own members? They could have stayed neutral and not taken any position, for or against, but they chose to act as prosecution.

Following the case, I filed a civil suit for damages against the CCES, Sport Canada and Athletics Canada because of the improprieties in my case – the A sample not matching the B sample, the CCES withholding evidence of a case prior to mine with identical circumstances of contamination of the sample, CCES witnesses giving false testimony and other pretty egregious things that happened.

We named Athletics Canada as a party to the lawsuit partly because of some of the positions they took or adopted during the hearings – the worst was that they said I didn’t have a disability that would trigger the Annex of the anti-doping rules that deal with athletes with a disability – I had to ask for a recess so I could leave the room and calm down.

We just came to a settlement agreement, and I released them from the lawsuit in November, so hopefully I can start to return to the sport in some way.

It’s amazing though, even though it happened over a decade ago, no matter that even the CCES conceded that there was no cheating or attempt to cheat in my case, notwithstanding that I was exonerated by the CAS, if someone wants to score cheap shots on me, it’s the first thing that comes up. They have to ignore all of the facts to do it, and end up looking foolish, but it is what it is – as an athlete, even when you’re completely innocent, any anti-doping accusation has a lifelong potential to continue to harm you."

Once again, and for the millionth time, we witness the spectacle of people saying abjectly sexist things while attempting to deny the reality of sexism and its effects. If you're simply a reasonable person (never mind a leftie, liberal, or so-called SJW), you will admit that sexism and racism are still real in their effects, in spite of efforts (against abject sexists and racists) to dismantle them. The meritocratic utopia of the white, male imagination remains just that.

P.S. The emasculatory power of an outspoken women has apparently rendered some of you (including Jeff Adams himself) unable to understand idiomatic language. When someone accused of doing something says "would that I had the power to do (that thing)" it doesn't mean that they wanted and tried to do it and failed. It just means they find it absurd to suggest that they had the power to do the thing of which they are being accused, never mind whether they wanted it to happen or not.

Cleves.

How about this guys. Instead of insulting her or commenting on her attractiveness or throwing out the feminazi label, try to compose an actual argument that challenges her viewpoints and actions. Because by doing what you're doing here, you're only proving the feminist point that anytime a woman tried to voice a controversial opinion, the response is reduced to comments about her feminity.

By the way, OP, it's obvious that you're simply looking for justification for your opinions. At least try to have an discussion.

I've met Jeff and run with Lanni. Both are big time extroverts, but very nice people.

This whole thread is ridiculous...Adams is not credible, although his point about Marchant being allowed to race the Rio 10k and marathon 36 hours apart is right. She complained and got her way, but anyone who claims her marathon was NOT affected is asinine. Of course it was.

I think Marchant is a talented and hard working athlete, but I wish she would get off this rant about female athletics (and being treated differently than the men) while at the same time she wears skimpy clothing (and has done nude pics) that would make my bikini-clad teenager blush....seriously she plays up her own sex appeal to such a large extent, she can`t rightly claim she doesn`t use her own sexual femininity to advance her own agenda....and I have heard at least 3 other ladies state this as well.

Only in the desolate world of marathoning could this woman be considered "hot".

Does anybody actually like this woman? I personally lost all respect for her when she attempted to bully her way on to the Olympic team in 2012 after not meeting Canada's standards and running a marathon time that would have in no way been competitive at the Games.

I have no opinion on Eriksson, but Marchant is the biggest idiot in Canadian track and field!

I've only met her once but I was impressed with her. 1. She's got a real job as a lawyer. 2. She was very open about talking about how she got better after college because she quit trying to be some little waif runner who doesn't eat.

I thought she'd be good for a podcast on eating issues and working and running. Plus I thought doing the double in Rio was great.

I can't defend her tweet. However, saying something like that in a private communication with someone has context different than if she just tweeted it out by itself.

One of you guys taking issue with her called her a "hoe" (I deleted the post). With comments like that I'm not surprised she sees the world differently than I do.

The day that Marchant is no longer mentioned as being hot will make her long for these halcyon days.

I just don't understand how women do things that make them different from men and then complain when people notice.

Why is it sexist to consider that genders actually are different and in a noticeable way?

What's the first thing Bruce Jenner did? He started dressing like woman and trying to stand out.

Hey Steve Boyd,

Why don't you lecture us all some more on how Caster Semenya is a courageous, inspiring individual, on the level of Muhammed Ali and Jackie Robinson (your words), whilst labeling anybody who disagrees with you as a bigot!

People aren't allergic to the fact that she's an "outspoken woman". People are allergic to the fact that she is on a gender crusade and bends facts to suit her narrative. Her post to Jeff Adams aside, the speech that she gave to MPs was pathetic! She is a professional victim, looking for sympathy.

If a candidate that I favored lost an election due to the female vote and I posted: "man, if only I were that powerful to keep women from voting" #TheFutureisMale", you wouldn't be defending me, whether I would actually ever try to keep women from voting or not. The sentiment itself is abhorrent.

Why don't crusaders just settle for the future being gender balanced?

Doesn't make sense to cry about oppression when you're just going to do the same thing if the power tips in your favor.

You know, I ask this question all the time. I think it is human nature to think it is fine to skew things in your own favor, but never the other way around... We are a sad society.
