Very sad indeed. In the not so distant future, we may not have a slot in the Olympics if these doping allegations are true. Kenya being Kenya, it may be true.

Russia's ban has been upheld by CAS. I am thrilled. I was concerned that CAS would deliver another bogus, ill-informed ruling like the one they made about Caster. I am happy. If you think about it from a logical progression standpoint, you can tell that Literally every Russian who has won gold in the past decade or so is cheating.

As for Kenya, If its true that AK officials have been demanding bribes to cover positive doping tests, then Kenya is skating on thin ice. It means AK behaviour borders on systemic doping as well. All it would take is one whistle-blower to go public with legitimate video evidence and Kenya is toast.


The only saving grace for Kenya is that the IAAF is itself corrupt and likely turned a blind eye to the corruption in Kenya. Especially during the Lamine Diack era. That may not continue under Seb Coe.

For Russia, they ought to use this ban as an opportunity to clean their act. But they aren't. Instead they are crying eti this is political. I wish they could be banned from other sports.

I had seen every american

Usain Bolt supports the ban on Russia

The sport of athletics has quickly become a joke to most casual fans. Bolt is one of the last few legit hopes. If Bolt is ever busted for doping, the sport may be finished. However I lean towards thinking Bolt is legit.
