Why doesn't the IOC sack WADA and just bin drug testing. 300 c&j anyone?

On the plus side...maybe this might be the last time we see Dope Testing at the Olympics!

Sometimes the glass can be half-full rather than half-empty.

Are they pre-comp tests in the village or since the lifting started?
I know there has been a Polish and a Taiwanese lifter sent home before competing, who else has there been?
I fear every Games could be the last for lifting as we routinely feature in the doping scandals Unhappy


Can't find the link, but I think they were in the village. Three Poles and the Taiwanese girl

I think with all the re tests it's gone way beyond anything we've seen before. IMO the mess athletics is in might be the thing that keeps weightlifting in

Swimming? Why?

I agree, thankfully athletics is a big enough fish to detract from weightlifting's dirty laundry. IWF are probably sat hoping for some high profile failures to come up from other sports to soften the blow on weightlifting.

What is your view on the whole thing Steve, is the retesting and the carnival it has prompted actually good for the sports concerned?

It's rife with rumours of doping.

Rumours aren't on the current banned list.

Neither is someone stating what they based their opinion on.

I'm not sure what good it does. However if they are retesting I think it should be every single sample not just a select few.

I think the case against Russian however is completely different. State organised cheating should get the whole country thrown out.
