Chris_ Posted October 3, 2019 Share On that, one of my favourite people and athletes Sunette Viljoen was awarded the Silver medal for 2011 World Champs, in Doha yesterday. Originally she was given bronze on the day, Spotakova won and a POS doper came second, and as Barry mentioned stole Obergfoll's moment of glory on the podium. What if that was her best ever performance and she never got to strand on a podium, its just the worst. I hate it. Edit: I know this is javelin and way off thread but it just grates me big time.

dave303e Posted October 3, 2019 Share And while we're on the topic of doping, the SAIDS Annual Report: https://www.drugfreesport.org.za/1-584-athletes-tested-during-2018-19-saids-annual-report-published/ 16 rugby players caught, including 6 schoolboys And then Mamorallo Tjoka cheating Dominika Stelmach of a 2Oceans podium, and René Kalmer of a gold. 6 School boys, coaches, parents, school administrators should all be charged for that. Don't say they didn't know or suspect. Lexx and Barry Stuart 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly a point I put to Ross Tucker. Cheated runners should be able to take civil litigation against convicted cheats that stole from them. A doper cheats a countryman out of a place in the squad, a qualifier out of a place in the finals, a finalist out of a medal, a lifetime moment, a victory lap with a flag, reward for her sponsor's faith, airtime in front of her potential sponsors. Those other athletes leave the track with doubt about their ability, their careers, their training, their potential. Some retire from sport thinking that's as far as they can go, some over-train trying to make that impossible ground back, some lose sponsors and have to make tough decisions, others lose out on sponsors that would change their futures. Screw dopers. tjommies3, Lexx, Andrew Steer and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottCM Posted October 3, 2019 Share Not quite the same 8 years later is it! Agreed. Doping should equal jail time as per being caught with recreational drugs do. Now I'm not talking about a cough syrup that has codeine in or something like that but stuff like steroids and EPO etc that are deliberately taken to cheat, those deserve you to be sent to PAPPA in the big can. .

SeaBee Posted October 3, 2019 Share Sorry, but am |I reading that report correctly... In our country where they play rugby year-round, have a truckload of players to test - they only tested 342 over the entire year?! If they just look at most school first teams and the way those "boys" look nowadays... wait, I'd rather shut up before I get shot.

They'd come up with way more cases if they did some surprise tests during the pre-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave303e Posted October 3, 2019 Share so 122 tests were done at craven week with 6 positives- 4,92%1659 done in total with 47 positives- 2,83% So 7% of the sample has 12,77% positives with this tests only conducted during a single tournament in a week or so timeframe.
