Russia, with their state sponsored doping which the athletics governing bodies were fully complicit in, with their deliberate destroying of blood samples, their covering up of positive tests,  (if the report is to be believed),  finished 4th in the overall medal table in 2012. Just as a matter of interest, they finished 9th in the preceding World Championships, quite the improvement in that 2 years. 

All that doping, and they still couldn't manage to beat the clean athletes from the USA, China & Great Britain. Anyone want to have a guess at why ??

In fairness Pound did say it wasn't just the Russians at it but question is were other Govts involved to the level the Russian's were. Chinese are almost a certainty

Coe is a company man, quite literally. Works for Nike on top of his role as IAAF President. It's a clear conflict of interest. Nike have links to doping through Alberto Salazar's Nike Oregon project which includes Mo Farah. 

Some of the stuff Coe as said since becoming President have been worse than anything Pat McQuaid has ever come out with.

Russia should obviously be thrown out of the Olympics over this but they won't of course, a fudge will be found. 

€€€€€€€€

Russian sports minister Vitaly Mutko has apparently threatened to pull all anti-doping funding in Russia over this. A positive response from the Russians, so. LOL

It's pure comedy.

Unf**king real. Coe's position is untenable. He either knew about and did nothing which makes him complicit or he didn't which makes him incompetent

WADA realsing their report into claims of Doping, cover-ups and extortion in Russian athletics this afternoon. According to one of the co-authours it will show a "different scale of corruption, even compared to FIFA"

Fûck me that quote is saying something
Eamonn Dunphy:"I'll tell you who wrote it, Rod Liddle, he's the guy who ran away and left his wife for a young one".
