@jensblog Was Frank Stronach there today?

[🌎 Julie Conway 🌎 @JuleConway]

@DanonymousMan @ABRLive I was able to meet last Saturday him too! I remember when he played for the Maple Leafs. He was very generous with his time, even thought it was before the schedule broadcast (which he was to co-host with my brother). I got to hear how he went from playing hockey to handicapping.

@Ingemar4910 @Devin_Heroux If you look at the subtlety between “ineligible” & “disqualified” it’s a better way of managing the testing. A positive test before the comp will deem 1 teammate ineligible but let the rest of the team compete. A positive test during the comp can disqualify the entire team.

[🌎 Julie Conway 🌎 @JuleConway]

@Ingemar4910 @Devin_Heroux Actually it’s quite common. Anti-doping “out of competition” tests are routinely done during the training/practice time in the days before the start of the competition. The athletes are in one place & can be easily found/located. The process is also set up for a quick turn around

@ticatsroar @Devin_Heroux @JockCartier @mclean_brad Any violation of the CCES Canadian Anti-Doping Program is compliant with the WADA’s World Anti-Doping Code. So if CCES determines a violation has occurred, that would also apply to intentional competitions run by ISO’s who have adopted WASA - like the World Curling Association.

@GC3914752414229 @Devin_Heroux There are subtle differences between an “in competition” test & an “out of competition” test. Basically once the competition starts, a positive test will disqualify the athlete. But an out of competition test will result in an athlete being deemed ineligible to compete.

[🌎 Julie Conway 🌎 @JuleConway]

@GC3914752414229 @Devin_Heroux Actually athletes who have violated the CCES Canadian Anti-Doping Program will received sanctions. The most common sanction is INELIGIBILITY to participate in sport.

If this is in fact the case - then the use of the word “ineligible” is appropriate.

[🌎 Julie Conway 🌎 @JuleConway]

@Devin_Heroux The athlete can waive the the hearing if they are willing to admit their violation.

The CCES registry - list of athletes on current serving violations/ lifetime bans can be found here

[🌎 Julie Conway 🌎 @JuleConway]

@Devin_Heroux You probably already know this, but the CCES has rules regarding how sanctions are dealt with. If a violation occurs, a hearing will happen prior to sanctions being imposed (unless the a the athlete waives this).

@Devin_Heroux Women’s and Men’s Artistic Gymnastics teams have also qualified.

@jensblog @WoodbineTB Do you not think it’s time to change the name of this race? I get that it’s historic, but the term Dominion, in the least, brings with it a slew of issues associated with (and not limited to) colonization. I’m not sure it brings a sense of inclusion or reconciliation.

[🌎 Julie Conway 🌎 @JuleConway]

@Devin_Heroux Oh Simone is planning on competing at Paris 2024. I don’t think anyone in the gymnastics community ever thought otherwise.

Did you know you can set off fireworks on your property without a permit on Canada Day, but only until 11 p.m.? Learn about fireworks rules, safety tips and proper disposal at https://t.co/qWa3CXFFcM.

Many of our friends are being affected by the smoke and air quality issues caused by wildfires in Canada. This can be scary for children, and they may have questions or big feelings about what is happening. (1/2)

@WoodbineTB @pinkfloyd Such a favourite! When is he eligible for the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame? Not that I can, but he has my vote 😍.

[Matthew Pegg @MatthewDPegg]

Yesterday alone, @Toronto_Fire responded to 4 separate fires on balconies / decks - all 4 caused by inappropriately discarded smoker’s materials. Never dispose of ashes / smoker’s materials in planter boxes and never discard them off the balcony. https://t.co/vtNRWi0Cl1
