veloman Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 My knowledge of athletics is virtually nil so feel free to correct this assertion. Doha doesn't seem a very sensible location for these events (climate not conducive to such things) but didn't the self effacing Lord Coe have something to do with selecting/approving this location? There are no open doors in his house - he can slide underneath them ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted October 3, 2019 Author Share Posted October 3, 2019 Quote DOHA. France's star runner-up Morhad Amdouni has at the last moment cancelled from the World Cup. According to ARD, he is suspected of doping. "We have no knowledge of this," the French federation said in a statement. Amdouni is said to have fled out into the Doha's desert to hide from his own national team colleagues. On Tuesday, the news came that world-famous coach Alberto Salazar was suspended for four years for doping and thrown out of the Doha World Cup. Now comes the next doping bomb. German TV channel ARD has come across Whatsapp messages suggesting that French runner-up Morhad Amdouni is doped. Amdouni won gold at 10,000 meters and took bronze at 5,000 meters during the European Championships in Berlin last year. At the World Cup in Doha, he was registered to run a marathon on Saturday. The official explanation is that he is injured. https://www.expressen.se/sport/friidrott/stjarnan-uppges-ha-flytt-ut-i-oknen/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted October 11, 2019 Author Share Posted October 11, 2019 USA/Nike has terminated their Oregon Project since Alberto Salazar has been banned for 4 years and the whole thing has been riddled with accusations of doping, cheating and exploiting grey areas in the rules. It's basically the capitalism version of state doping, but it's OK because it's the US and Nike sponsors the 2021 WC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) Didn't find any general athletics thread but Armand Duplantis just broke the indoors world record in the pole vault. New record stands at 6,17. Kid is only 20 and is now possibly the biggest name in athletics. Edited February 8, 2020 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
