Athletes in Britain cannot compete in some events, because many foreigners are not subject to the same testing protocol.

I really believe that athletes who reach national level(here),should seriously consider whether competing on the world scene, is actually to their interests.

To really throw the spanner in the works, it's also my opinion that all current world records were set with drugs.Think i'm exaggerating then consider this:With the advent of EPO in the 1990s mens and womens distance records took a massive dive.

I also think that promoters of events, should exempt certain athletes and countries, from their events(and rewards) until they're subject to the same testing procedures as ours.

Any views?

Chris, you were correct. When they're struggling to find a credible runner to retrospectively award stripped medals to there's a huge credibility problem

Yep CL was spot on with his drug comments.
Will Alwaysinjured be vindicated with his safety comments?

Only time will tell.

I'm sure there will be about 40% of his million words on this forum that will be proved to be correct. No-one will ever read them in full.

"No one" is correct. Dear AlwaysInjured admitted that he never read his own posts/ emails (or used a spellchecker) before sending because he was much too busy typing.

Explained a lot really.

:mad:Is Coe guilty of corruption?

He certainly has a lot of explaining to do but being an Ex MP corruption will be nothing new.

Oh dear athletics is one if not thee dirtiest sport going.

I would like to think not although I was always an Ovett man myself.
