  • Peaty for example, who's fallen into the accusing other athletes camp.

    His Jesus stuff shows he's potentially slightly credulous, but his belief that a nation with a massive proven history and current record of doping might actually be doping - that's a little more plausible.

  • I think tbf it's plausible that every athlete from every country has the potential to dope, as sporting history is littered with athletes from all nations, but I don't think you should accuse them publicly at the Olympics like that having just lost to them. Just sounds like sour grapes.

  • Nah - China were caught en masse doping just before the Olympics and allowed by WADA to argue that their hotel’s plat du jour was angina medicine and chips, before they hushed it up. Same way they let Russia away with it until they were pretty much shooting yup in the starting blocks.

    Glad some athletes are strong enough to speak up, even if it’s just the ones at the fag end of their careers.

  • Given they'd recently quietly tested positive but it had been declared fine you can see why he may have had some complaints.
