Doping

And the FBI are investigating this, hence the delay in the case.

that would be great (in a voyeuristic way) if true

Looks like they've finally nailed Diack - payments from the Russians for sweeping their positives under the carpet:

Cound having a mini meltdown on twitter, until she deletes another account.....

Tom Danielson had Leipheimer as his coach. Wtf?

What's her account now?

IAAF about to implode!

Seb Coe is sounding very hot under the collar.

Nike sponsored athletes from a Nike sponsored federation paying bribes whilst Seb in on the Nike payroll. Just a coincidence. It's not like Nike have ever been accused of paying a governing body to surpress a positive before or anything.

Tessa Jowell talking about wanting lifetime bans on Today prog'

Spitting in her own soup .

Apparently by the rules of WADA and the IOC, Athletics should be thrown out of the Rio Olympics. I mean, it's never gonna happen, but what a thing if it did.

What, the whole sport?! What's the rule? How does that work?

Something along the lines of the sport not doing anything like enough to protect itself from doping cheap, corruption, etc - therefore not upholding the olympic values and not being a credible sport to include in the games.

If you take athletics out of the summer olympics, there isn't much left...

Only the 27 other sports that will be part of the Rio Olympics.

Athletics is one of the headline sports, indeed, and it would be a massive shame to lose it... but with the revelations that have now come out, it would currently be like watching the Armstrong tours after Lance's Oprah confession.

Russia recommended to be suspended from all competition, 10 athletes and coaches life bans, Moscow lab closed.

Summer Olympics is Athletics, and everything else slots around it.
What would broadcasters do it there was no 100m final to get into a tizz about, no Mo Farah, no Jessica Ennis, no name another British athlete who might be in with a chance of a medal in athletics...

There's always golf...

All those sports that involve sitting down that British olympians seem to excel in.

Aka sports where investing in R&D of equipment and physiology makes a difference.

Apparently by the rules of WADA and the IOC, Athletics should be thrown out of the Rio Olympics. I mean, it's never gonna happen, but what a thing if it did.

And the reason it's never going to happen is that the IAAF know where the IOC bodies are buried. They are two arms of the same vampire squid.

Seb Coe maintained an impressive poker face through that grilling by Jon Snow except for the bit when Jon said he'd been "a great clean runner" and he twitched quite impressively. LOL.

Funny how they have gone to Joe Pavy rather than Paula for a soundbite.

Sky Sport had Paula on but not seen it.
