For sure, yes! Everybody must see that if they cheat, they will be caught. Just the how soon is the question.
But they wont be caught. If you or any one else thinks the Russian ban is genuinely about doping you are mistaken. This is Geo politics at work.
Look at Mo Farah for instance. An athletics coach who worked as an "unofficial facilitator" for the British Olympic champion Mo Farah at his training base in Ethiopia has been arrested in a doping raid in Spain. Mo's Kenyan training partners have been busted.
The you have Salazar as well and the fact Oregon [ nike oregon] was awarded the indoor WC and the junior WC without a blink of an eye. Who was on the Nike payroll ,,,,,Seb Coe. Mo could inject himself in the eyeballs right in front of Coe and he will not get busted. Cover ups and pay offs are ripe everywhere not just the Russians as they would like you to believe.
Look at Radcliffe's Marathon WR , 3 min's faster than anyone else including a whole bunch busted athletes who could not get near her time . That is not possible. The only ones who will get caught are token gestures or political motives.
To be honest the majority of the public don't care. Its the media who make a big thing out of it when convenient. No one in the media talks about the fact that Zidane who won the world cup, champions league just about every top honour in football/soccer and now the
manager of Real Madrid is treated like a hero and his doping busts never get a mention but Armstrong his the devil?
Lets see those Fuentes Blood bags. Anyone for Tennis.
Man I so hope those blood bags get sorted soon. But in all honesty, I doubt any justice will be handed out for their owners
