IAAF Statement Offers "Sincerest Apologies" To Athletes' Whose Data Was Leaked / Says ABP Is A "Dynamic Proce

How long until IBM's Watson can take a look at this data?

It looks to me as if FB hacked the IAAF twice. Is this right, or is the most recent release from FB's first break in.

If they were hacked again, how did that happen?

SMH.

Maybe you guys should bump this up on front page rather than throwing everyone under the bus since there is "report" out there.... because this is what you guys are doing....

It seems like a serious issue when USADA, WADA, the IAAF, etc. ask for private medical information from athletes and then it keeps getting hacked.

If they are that incompetent at securing their systems, how are we supposed to believe that testing results - positive or negative - are reliable and nothing has been hacked or tampered with?

Exactly

It's almost impossible to keep information private nowadays unless you have the backing of a large taxpayer base to pay for the best systems and security. These little agencies do not have the funding so they are easy pickens for hackers.

Well, then incompetence extends all the way to the White House. Trump has been unable to stop the leaks.

BTW, "securing their systems" is no guarantee that data will not be leaked some other way.

Nah. It's too easy for the Brojo's to put up their favorite graphic of Alberto whenever there is big drug-related news. Never mind that he has never been convicted of anything. No agenda there.

For too long now - over 30 years - there is more condemnation of those that leak truth in track instead on truly cleaning up the sport. Yes it's unfortunate if a CLEAN athlete is smeared by this leak but what's FAR worse are the athletes who are missing medals & bigger contracts & other money because dirty athletes are taking it all.

I'm tired of all the excuses & protection of the dirty in our sport & it starts at the top.

CLEAN is entirely the opinion of the "clean" person. If they are going into the gray-zone and trying to get their balance under the detection limit, or official minimum, then those results should be know to all.

The only clean athlete is one who does not take anything that might show up as a bio passport anomaly. Unfortunately, when fame and fortune is available the desire to "just use enough" is nearly impossible to overcome. In other words, there are no Mother Teresas in sports of any kind. They would never be able to compete with the "just use enough" types.

An IAAF statement yesterday said it was from the earlier breach.

I think that is just lazy "journalism" trying to boost page hits...

For example i dont hear anyone asking that maybe there is something wrong with the methodology if suddenly an extraordinaire number of elite are caught doping? And why the hush then? Maybe the fact that the "dynamic" depends not to so much on doping but on the fact that the BP is not "scaled" properly, if that makes any sense.... maybe that the "normal" physiological levels are not really where they think they are?

Wanna try and ask these questions Brojos rather to ride the pitchforks?

Which is what one would expect the IAAF to state. They likely cannot tell with any certainty.

The official terminology which includes “Likely doping”, “Passport suspicious; Further data is required”, “Likely medical condition”, “Normal”, “Cancelled by APMU” (Athletes Passport Management Unit) are used to classify profiles flagged as “atypical” by the ADAMS mathematical model, indicating whether or not an athlete’s biological passport profile should be further investigated. It does not provide a final determination on whether or not an athlete has committed an Anti-Doping Rule Violation. It is a dynamic process in which the status of an athlete’s profile can change at any time.

I mean we know this isn't a court of law. We just want to know what the truth is, we don't care as much about who gets found guilty or whatever.

the whole fancy bears is likely american based ......................

pretending to be the russians and releasing these athletic passports

when can discern very little from them.

all distraction from real doping .

It is all about the battle for complete control over doping by wada / iaaf /nike

themselfes . very much aided by certain moneymen and intelligence.

They seem sincere. I'm believing them.

No you have no clue & are delusional. There are clean athletes but you use excuse of dopers rationalizing their use. A truly clean sport is possible but only w/ethical leadership & complete separation of power from federations & drug testers.

I don't agree with this. A clean athlete getting smeared is terrible. That can conceivably wreck someone's career, not to mention reputation among their peers, friends, family, fans, etc. That seems worse to me than a cheater getting some medals.

wise words
