Three positive doping tests from London World's!

Zemlyak was well known.

She was? I've never heard of her until now. In fact, I had to look her up and found that she finished a whopping 7th place in the 400m final at Rio. Like 20 yrs from now people are going to remember her for finishing 7th at the Olympics. 😄 (she does look hot in that photo though!).

Well I guess Ayana is clean

Tyson Gay and Asafa Powell were not big names to you?

It was such a non-story involving a couple of no names that no one even bothered to do a thread on it. 😁

Have you heard of Diamond League? She was a regular.

Interesting!

Only 3 positives from all the tested athletes that include all that medaled!!

So, has the doping control worked that much less athletes dared to dope? Or, are the doping tests not effective that only 3 (not named yet) were caught?

A little bit from column A, a little bit from column B.

In Dumb and Dumber 3, Lloyd and Harry get jobs in a WADA certified lab.

Not much from column A, if any. In Daegu, about 600 athletes admitted to being drug cheats (who knows how many drug cheats didn't admit it), and altogether, 2 were directly caught (< 0.3% of the cheats!), with the first ones announced in November, and 3 more after retesting in 2012. So in total less than 1% of the cheats were caught. The system is a joke.

Now it's August and we already have 3 - doesn't look like fewer athletes dope.

Remember that Jager was ranked as the most suspicious blood doper by the IAAF, with 5 out of 3 stars, while the next suspicious ones had only 3 stars.

But yeah, he blamed altitude, an old running joke, as if he were the only one going there and achieving weird Hct values, and as if the IAAF never heard of altitude before.

Here's hoping it's Edris, Coleman and Gatlin!!

I guess her suspension will bring her back down to Earth.

Bring her back down to Earth? More like permanently grounded on Earth...this is her 2nd doping positive (2009). She likes to indulge in steriods...here comes the lifetime ban.

Surely an Asian athlete, An East European, and some "B" African athlete.

The only big name vulnerable for antidoping positives NOW is Isaac Makwala. Because:

1) He's from Botswana, (not US, UK, JAM, etc)

2) He called up IAAF authorities in public.

3) He can beat WVN in a good day.

Ok, I change my vote to:

- Makwala (31 y.o. (in one month) and is improving rapidly in the sprints)

- Farah (34 y.o. Who can now close faster in a 5000m than he could when he was 25)

- P.Ing. (Just because he sounds like an a$$)

And that's how the IAAF likes it. Lots of tests samples and no one that has a high profile in the sport tests positive.

Russians tested positive because they stopped paying bribes.

One of the most ridiculous things about anti-doping is the federations claim "Maybe 2% dope." Every single year since, exactly 2% of the least well known athletes are sanctioned.

+1

Hence the ongoing fight of IAAF and WADA against the Tuebingen study which proved at least 30 - 40% dopers among the elite runners in this decade. The truth mustn't come out!

That is in fact more than in the 1999 TdF, where 20 out of 85ish samples tested positive for EPO years later. 6 of the 20 positive tests were Armstrong's - so much for all cyclists but almost no runners dope!

The report said it was non-medal winners. My guess it'll be a couple of stiffs we never heard of. 😄

I'm sensing everyone just assumes every fast athlete is doped? Maybe these people are clean and it's the no names who dope to catch up.
