True Dave, but the IAAF are top dogs so its up to them. Botswana might be telling porkies regards tests done etc, but the IAAF need to tell us they are.
Anyway piss of back to the cycling thread and your Froome posters
Although any thoughts you have they'll be good to read.
You know my thoughts as to peds in sport...no one who wins can be clean. We're talking milliseconds and millimetres here...to gain between 5 and 15 % on top of what you're already doing whatever it is that is your sport is an amazing bump. Imagine how much time you gain from being 10% stronger and quicker than a clean runner...it's not doable clean.
I sat outside by the pool in the villa we're staying right now and laughed at the posts in here re Farah. Take Froome's history and you can replace virtually word for word with Farah..the only difference being the Badzilla Fromme
had. If...actually it's there to be read. In 2012 in the cycling thread i called out Bradley Wiggins and his team as doping to do what they did that year...if you can recall most of the posters posted exactly what we saw in here the other night...the same blind loyalties that we also put up with from 1998 on with Armstrong..we were right then...now...
Most fans of cycling have made their piece with doping, we know what's going on and we also know that the ADA'a, national and international associations exist to make sure that the sport is not brought into disrepute by the elite riders, in our sport the WorldTour riders, by being caught doping.
Also the scapegoating... that reprehensible. Christie...two infractions, still coaches and isn't booed or pulled up for by the media..Gatlin...it's hypocrisy. I read..Mc Colgan , I think, pulling a runner up for winning after she's trained in Ethiopia, where we know there's no testing...where does Farah train....
The we have as in my sport an acquiescent media...and it's taken advantage of by athletes...we saw the way Sky nad Brailsford treated the media during this edition of the Tour...the same manner that the big bad...Armstrong did in his time..what was it Farah did at his
press conference?
I don't care about doping, there's days when I wish I did...and unlike most people who post in here I'm as fit as fuck*, but I can understand the need to dope. Higher, further , faster...you want these things, the athletes want the rewards that come from doing those things.
*I'm home til Saturday as I come back yesterday to sort out some stuff and as I am my mate and I are off to Hawes in the morning on a 150 mile ride....I've sent the peds on ahead.
