charon 4,943 Posted September 8, 2015 Tennis, you got Rapha Needlar, push bikes Lance, running faster than a walk??? Step slowly forward Pishy Paula, the lauded hoor. These cunts that cheat and needle their way for £££/$$$/ gotta be worth a thread of consideration. Cycling alone seems to throw up plenty of young demises. Ftr , pishy Paula..... Quote Radcliffe was not mentioned by name during Tuesdays hearing, but a question was asked about the validity of British womens performances in the London marathon, which she has won three times. The committee chairman Jesse Norman was questioning David Kenworthy, chairman of UK Anti-Doping, when he seemed to raise suspicions about a prominent British marathon runner. He asked Mr Kenworthy during the House of Commons hearing: When you hear that the London marathon, potentially the winners or medallists at the London marathon, potentially British athletes are under suspicion for very high levels of blood doping When you think of the effect that has on young people and the community nature of that event, what are your emotions about that, how do you feel about that? Mr Kenworthy said: I think it is a tragedy if you and I are looking at a sporting event with a degree of cynicism about what we are seeing. I think it is our role to overcome that cynicism. Hope the cow bleeds out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

charon 4,943 Posted September 8, 2015 Not mentioned by name during the hearing, but the only possible athlete in question (British, female winner of the London marathon). And when the question was asked the WADA guy didn't say, "What? No idea what yer on about there." Instead it was basically just, "Aye, it sucks that what we're watching is very likely suspect." Almost bang on the same implication as made by the UK anti-doping dude (forget the name) who wrote in the Guardian a couple months back that he could no longer enjoy watching top level athletics events "as I know too much." Edit - actually, I wonder if this is maybe one and the same guy. Mistakenly thought it was a WADA rep at the Select Comittee hearing but as it says above it's a UK anti-doping agency heid honcho.

charon 4,943 Posted September 10, 2015 http://www.sbnation.com/longform/2015/9/9/9271811/can-boxing-trust-usada The USADA comes out of this verrry poorly... Shortly after 3 p.m. on Friday, May 1, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao weighed in for their historic encounter that would be contested the following night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Later on Friday afternoon, collection agents for the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), which had been contracted to oversee drug testing for the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight, went to Mayweather’s Las Vegas home to conduct a random unannounced drug test. The collection agents found evidence of an IV being administered to Mayweather. Bob Bennett, the executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, which had jurisdiction over the fight, says that USADA did not tell the commission whether the IV was actually being administered when the agents arrived. USADA did later advise the NSAC that Mayweather’s medical team told its agents that the IV was administered to address concerns related to dehydration It was announced publicly that the bout contract Mayweather and Pacquiao signed in February 2012 to fight each other provided that drug testing would be conducted by USADA. But the actual contract with USADA remained to be negotiated. In early March, USADA presented the Pacquiao camp with a contract that allowed the testing agency to grant a retroactive therapeutic use exemption (TUE) to either fighter in the event that the fighter tested positive for a prohibited drug. That retroactive exemption could have been granted without notifying the Nevada State Athletic Commission or the opposing fighter’s camp. Team Pacquiao thought that was outrageous and an opportunity for Mayweather to game the system. Pacquiao refused to sign the contract. Thereafter, Mayweather and USADA agreed to mutual notification and the limitation of retroactive therapeutic use exemptions to narrowly delineated circumstances. With regard to notice, a copy of the final USADA-Mayweather-Pacquiao contract provides: “Mayweather and Pacquiao agree that USADA shall notify both athletes within 24 hours of any of the following occurrences: (1) the approval by USADA of a TUE application submitted by either athlete; and/or (2) the existence of and/or any modification to an existing approved TUE. Notification pursuant to this paragraph shall consist of and be limited to: (a) the date of the application; ( the prohibited substance(s) or method(s) for which the TUE is sought; and © the manner of use for the prohibited substance(s) or method(s) for which the TUE is sought.” As previously noted, the weigh-in and IV administration occurred on May 1. The fight was on May 2. For 20 days after the IV was administered, USADA chose not to notify the Nevada State Athletic Commission about the procedure. Finally, on May 21, USADA sent a letter to Francisco Aguilar and Bob Bennett (respectively, the chairman and executive director of the NSAC) with a copy to Top Rank (Pacquiao’s promoter) informing them that a retroactive therapeutic use exemption had been granted to Mayweather. The letter did not say when the request for the retroactive TUE was made by Mayweather or when it was granted by USADA. Subsequent correspondence in response to requests by the NSAC and Top Rank for further information revealed that the TUE was not applied for until May 19 and was granted on May 20. In other words, 18 days after the fight, USADA gave Mayweather a retroactive therapeutic use exemption for a procedure that is on the WADA “Prohibited Substances and Methods List.” And because of a loophole in its drug-testing contract, USADA wasn’t obligated to notify the Nevada State Athletic Commission or Pacquiao camp regarding Mayweather’s IV until after the retroactive TUE was granted. Meanwhile, on May 2 (fight night), Pacquiao’s request to be injected with Toradol (a legal substance) to ease the pain caused by a torn rotator cuff was denied by the Nevada State Athletic Commission because the request was not made in a timely manner. A conclusion that one might draw from these events is that it helps to have friends at USADA. Combined with all those head hits, imminent retirement and a don't give a fuck attitude to $$$$$ , Mayweather will be entering my lists circa 2017 onwards.
