[Beerfish]

Get ready to be shocked.

You think?

 

[boncer34]

You think?

I'll be shocked if she gets 4.

 

[Doss]

I doubt it'll be four years. But I also suspect it'll be more than 12 months.

 

[Beerfish]

I can't imagine why it wouldn't be 4. What reason is there for a reduction?

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

I can't imagine why it wouldn't be 4. What reason is there for a reduction?

Didn't she admit she ****ed up by not checking.

 

[boncer34]

I imagine they'll find a reason.

 

[Beerfish]

Didn't she admit she stuffed up by not checking.

Yes. So?

I imagine they'll find a reason.

Whatever do you mean good sir?

 

[Doss]

Cynicism is a wonderful thing. Sometimes a healthy thing too.

 

[boncer34]

Yes. So?


Whatever do you mean good sir?

Its my gut.

I have a lot to rely on.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Didn't she admit she stuffed up by not checking.

You don't get a discount for being an idiot.

 

[yodellinhank]

I don't believe it.

 

[Doss]

I don't believe it.

Exactly!

History being rewritten already. Not chain Jon, strands in the cable.

This has prompted suggestions those found guilty had only been done so because they had self-incriminated and admitted to injections, potentially of thymosin, during their anti-doping interviews. The chain of evidence has pointed to the drug being thymosin beta-4.

 

[Doss]

Jon wouldn't know the difference between mayo and tomato sauce, much less chains and strands.

I see Maria has employed the services of a lawyer who assures her he can get her a significantly reduced ban if not have her completely exonerated. This is sure to be the last time she asks Hirdy for advice.

Who are the 50+ players that have tested positive this year? I haven't seen any articles naming names?

yaco55 didn't say there was 50+ positive tests for Meldonium this year - he said we could be heading toward it, and I reckon he'll be pretty much on the money. Some so far:

Abebe Aregawi, the 2013 women’s 1,500m world champion, has been provisionally suspended after meldonium was found in a sample she provided. Endeshaw Negesse, the 2015 Tokyo marathon champion, was also banned after reportedly testing positive for the same substance. Others include Olga Abramova and Artem Tyschcenko, two Ukrainian biathletes, Eduard Vorganov, a Russian cyclist and Ekaterina Bobrova, a Russian ice dancer. You can now add Russian biathlete Eduard Latypov to the growing list.

Ah I see. I misunderstood. My bad. Disregard.

How is Billy tearing up because the media briefly paid him some attention when his ol' mate Gaz plowed his ex wife? Poor old Bill wasn't quite as sensitive while sinking the boot into Hird as he copped media scrutiny Billy can only have nightmares about for 3 whole years.

 

[Beerfish]

Yeah but everyone was doing it. Come on. Have a froffy mate.

 

[yaco55]

The five times were actually in addition to the WADA communique. She was contacted three times by the International Tennis Federation and twice by the Womens Tennis Association. Four year ban. No ifs, buts or maybes. I'll be shocked (to be sitting here) if it's anything less.

This is a separate issue - The issue is WADA places substances on the prohibited list every year - There has never been such a rash of positive tests for a newly prohibited substance in the past - Something has gone wrong.

My guess is Sharapova will get a 6 to 12 month suspension from the ITF Anti-Doping Tribunal.

 

[yaco55]

The more interesting discussion point is comparing the suspensions of all these athletes who've tested positive for Meldonium - Will the sentences vary greatly ?

Which surely would be appealed due to it's leniency...

This Sharapova warned 5 times thing seems overblown.

Appears to me that this warning was just some generic correspondence sent outlining the changing status of Meldonium. Apparently post the general WADA notice in September 2015.

Seems like a Brett Clothier warning after the fact to me.
