Story on the back of the 'i' paper this morning about 6 Footballers (PL/EFL U18/U21 / Womens) testing positive for recreational drug use.  Also says there'll be significantly more testing for PEDs this season.

If football was tested to the level of cycling there would be loads more caught

If this is across all leagues from Premier League to League 2, including underage and women's teams then i'm not surprised at 6 doing recreational drugs. I'd say there are plenty more who smoke a bit of weed or do cocaine when out and about (it's everywhere).
PED's are a different kettle of fish altogether.

Caster Semenya: Olympic 800m champion loses appeal against IAAF testosterone rules

I'd imagine this will be overturned somewhere along the line. I'd be of the opinion that a lot of those who rise to the top of any elite sport are in some way genetic freaks (in a very lucky way).

Complicated case and for the case of one athlete I think it's the right decision. . . I know it's extremely harsh on Semenya but you need a level playing field for womens sports and while it is hugely offensive to one person you have to look at the overall picture and the rise of trans athletes being able to switch gender in sports which is ridiculous!!

Makes you wonder how Mo gets away with it and how they thought giving him thee old sir title was a good idea!

Alberto Salazar banned for four years for doping violations.

This is massive. Nike also have massive questions to answer. Of course it will be met with a wall of silence.

Will Farah ever be caught though?

Probably quickly putting together a statement distancing himself from Salazar

All you have to do is google fancy bears and Mo Farah....says it all.

imtommygunn

Up to his neck in it. Must be questions on Radcliffe too. The dogs on the street knew Salazar was up to his neck in it so why were they associating with him??
