Yet another athletics scandal

[Francis Rossi]

This time it's Alberto Salazar, Mo Farah's coach and former marathon world record holder. Farah himself isn't implicated, but his best friend and training partner, Galen Rupp, is.

High time the authorities went after Phil Knight, or whoever funds Nike's laboratories.

- Santa Monica track team
- Lance

But then they'd have to go after Adidas & that would mean exposing Footballs dirty secrets.

Thought they over egged the pudding leading up to the Panorama episode tonight tbh.

'30 years of doping in athletics exposed tonight on ... ' and all they had was Nike's known lab in Oregon & Allan f'n Wells who went from being a shite Scottish long jumper to Olympic gold winner inside 2 yrs in the largely depleted field of Moscow '80.

How Gatlin was even allowed back is beyond me. Should have been banned for life, yet he's now running faster than ever.

[n...not crazy]

Farah basically runs a world class 400m at the end of every race. Beyond human. Allegedly.
Stay classy, track and field.

Love that Nike apparently let people walk in and out of their VIP areas so freely. What's that, they're probably lying? Oh...

Sort of sums up how I feel about the entire Jamaican track team after it was revealed their own governing body didn't test them once throughout the entire Olympic process, but the truth is that neither the authorities, the public, nor even the athletes are interested in a "level playing field".

To anyone who doubts this, in related news, the Feds recently cried uncle in their crusade against Barry Bonds.
