Same as everybody else who is not accused. Time may tell a different tale. Personally, I think all sport suffers in cases like this. Most athletes are against performance-enhancing drugs...but the need to win is strong. Just another bad day for honesty and good old-fashioned honour.

Olympic champion Mo Farah collapses at the end of the New York half marathon: Father-of-three lost consciousness after finishing in second place... but DOESN'T remember passing out
Father-of-three fell around the six-mile mark but carried on He eventually finished second after a sprint finish to the line But shortly after Farah finished the race, he collapsed Runner later appeared to blame chilly conditions in New York Temperatures were just above freezing when the race was held Farah, 30, won two golds for Britain in the 2012 London Games His time today was just outside his British record of 60m 59s Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2582079/Olympic-champion-Mo-Farah-collapses-end-New-York-half-marathon.html#ixzz3c3FGk6AZ Follow us: @MailOnline on Twitter | DailyMail on Facebook still came 2nd  |

How in the light of evidence he can say he say nothing is bollix.
|
|
By:
And pure bollix. Athletics is a myth anyway. Most are on drugs or know of them. So mo farah if hes on or not means nothing. But the pure bollix of the british media to athletics is wrong. Once they are doing well its ok. There is one british woman gold id say without doubt is doping. Without doubt. But the uk media wont care. Its 100% she was doping.

This is the real corrosive effect that drugs have on sport.
A lot of unsubstantiated speculation by people with very little knowledge of the testing processes, the sports science, the peer pressure NOT to take drugs and the extraordinary lengths most athletes go to, to remain compliant with their sports testing processes. Much easier to go 'they're all at it', remain ignorant but look cool - and feed the drip, drip, drip cynicism about sport that bit further. |

 With reference to Mo's eyes and being 'out of it' as you (or somebody else) say: I haven't looked at the picture. There wouldn't be any point because I am not qualified to be able to define how ones' eyes would appear when under the influence of whatever unidentified drugs you are indicating. I also have grave reservations regarding your ability to do the same.There could be many reasons that would cause a runner to faint or collapse and have an unusual appearance to his eyes. These could range from oxygen starvation, probably oxygen overload, simply driving his body too far beyond it's design parameters, dehydration, and, of course, possible drug use. But I doubt very much if you, or anybody else for that matter, can state beyond reasonable doubt exactly WHAT the cause may be. |

I reckon Chuck Blazer and Jack Warner have been spoonfeeding EPO to Seb Coe, whilst murdering construction workers, and pocketing millions of Dirham's worth of Nike vouchers. Allegedly. |

poor effort
From pale (“jurisdiction of an authority, territory under an authority's jurisdiction”), suggesting that anything outside the authority's jurisdiction was uncivilized. The phrase was in use by the mid-17th century, and may be a reference to the general sense of boundary, but is often understood to refer specifically to the English Pale in Ireland. In the nominally English territory of Ireland, only the Pale fell genuinely under the authority of English law, hence the terms within the pale and beyond the pale. |

You could write a book on this issue but I think the default position for most of us is the one Darlo Bantam outlined - that you hold onto some belief that most top athletes are clean.
Then you get a bit more information and think about things like the toleration and sensitivity levels of tests. Since it's unlikely you will ever catch anyone in the act of cranking dope, you have to rely on the chemical analysis of an athletes blood or urine and as we have seen, one can increase the constituency of certain naturally occurring elements in the body by artificial (i.e drug induced) means yet still pass a drugs test. So as a sports authority, do you tighten the tests - and run the risk of banning healthy clean athletes - or keep the status quo and tolerate athletes pushing at the margins of acceptability? One thing I think the public is screaming out for is a lifetime ban for anyone caught cheating, after going through the requisite series of checks balances and appeals. I would have included commercial sponsors in that statement but Nike have actually picked up sponsorship of convicted cheat Justin Gatlin again - words fail me there, they really do. Of course, what happens if my daughters Rowing crew comes onto the landing stage after winning the Gold medal at Rio. They have to hydrate quickly a) because they are in danger of overheating and b) because in 20 minutes they have to produce a urine sample for drugs tesing and it can (has) taken certain athletes up to five ours to squeeze out a few drops N.B this is done in full view of an approved (same sex, natch!) official - lovely, eh? What happens if someone has spiked their drinks? What happens if, when congratulated by other competitors, they smear testosterone gel on them? Can't happen? Really......? |
