Whilst from the position of the cameras it seemed like a correct decision to over-rule the refs, I always find it wrong when refs sat in what are hopefully the best positions to make a decision are over ruled by a jury in a less than optimum position | ||

Indeed - it will also be interesting to see if all the lifters who either didn't make it to or fail the tests at Rio even bother trying to get back to IWF competition or whether a separate circuit - with comps like this - can develop. EDIT: To expand on the above slightly further...Klokov vs Ilyin at 115-120kg anyone?? | ||

Lost his pen, then found his pen. #phew Member 4899, 2956 posts | After having had a chance to calm down after Rio...it's going to be a real pain waiting an infinity to see whether the Lifters we cheered and rooted for are actually allowed to keep the medals their hard work earned. I am seriously thinking of organising a Petition to the IWF / IOC to fix the Rio Champions in place after a given period...I am seriously considering making that back-dated too. There was another tranche of lifters sanctioned by the IWF yesterday / today - Eastern Bloc lifters for the usual, Chinese Lifters for Peptides it appears... | ||

nothing to hide, please follow my life on webcam Member 255, 3732 posts | Are these more positives or ones that have already been released? Just wondered how many positives they now found and if they've finished testing | ||

EDIT: To expand on the above slightly further...Klokov vs Ilyin at 115-120kg anyone?? Would love to see an untested WL fed. return to the old weight classes too (keep the weigh-ins at 2 hours). Ilya at a full 110kg would almost certainly take Zakharevich's clean and jerk record. | ||

Just wondered how many positives they now found and if they've finished testing I think the latest released are from the second wave of re-testing, apparently there are two more waves to go, so far from over just yet it appears | ||

Just wondered how many positives they now found and if they've finished testing Sorry Steve, I missed this question until I saw Wigan had answered it. I've not heard who is up for the chop for the next two rounds as yet - they must be running out of Lifters by now.  | ||
