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 Edited by Denis Irwin - 09 Nov 2015 at 7:04pm |

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. It's pure comedy. |

Next question;
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

Governments. Well, just to start with, the Spanish government, or functionaries of same, destroyed blood bags from Operation Puerto, of which it is probably a good time to remind people that only about 15% of Mr Fuentés sports clients were the much demonised cyclists. The other 85%, well who knows. And Fuentés was only one single doctor. Probably the only doctor in Spain at the doping carry on, by the looks of things, which was a lucky escape for all involved.
Were US & GB government agencies involved in doping ? Probably not. China ?? Well, they certainly have the form. Not that we will hear much about that either. The athletes from those countries doping in a private capacity ? Or training with the assistance/guidance of suspect coaches like Salazar ?? (Again, Salazar isn't the only dodgy coach in athletics) Can imagine there is a few out there, to say the least. Athletics hasn't been remotely believeable for years, it should have less credibility than cycling, and does to anyone with their eyes open, but for the masses, industrialised doping ended with the fall of the Berlin wall. Very convenient, but even thinking about it logically, why would that be the case, given what we know about the aforementioned cycling to name just one sport ? There will always be athletes & sportspeople prepared to dope, and where there is demand, there will be a supply of sorts to meet it. The only shock or surprise here is the fact anyone at all is shocked or surprised. |

Might as well use this thread.

Fiona Brutton\McCormac came 4th in the Europeans with the gold medal being won by a Kenyan .Molly Scott broke the Irish junior record twice in the 100mh winning a bronze in the European Youth Olympics and a girl from Dundalk Gina Akpe-Moses won silver in the 100. They went onto the World u20 and came 5th in the 4x100 relay and breaking the Irish record. Another Irish lad came 4th in the 800 too. Edited by horsebox - 23 Jul 2016 at 9:26pm |

Bronze for Micheala Walsh too.
Watch out for Kate O'Connor in the multievents. She came 8th I think and she is only 16. |
