UIPM-Führungskräfte im Visier von Strafverfolgungsbehörden.
Dubioser Olympia-Geschäfte könnten ernste rechtliche Konsequenzen haben: Ein explosiver Bericht über Machenschaften von UIPM-Offiziellen wird in mehreren Ländern von Kriminalbehörden geprüft. ⬇️

Sieben deutsche Olympiabewerbungen sind gescheitert, trotzdem will die Bundesregierung die Sommerspiele 2040 ausrichten. Viele Journalisten verbreiten dazu PR – anstatt Kosten und Hintergründe zu recherchieren. Ein Kommentar von @JensWeinreich. (Abo)

Mario #Vušković wurde vom CAS für vier Jahre gesperrt. Zwei Gerichte haben ihn verurteilt. Trotz zweier positiver Epo-Tests fallen viele aus allen Wolken, wittern eine Verschwörung. Ich glaube, das liegt auch daran, wie über den Dopingfall gesprochen und berichtet wurde.

[Nico Horn @DerNicopolidis]

@sportanwalt Das Problem ist, dass auch kein Bruchteil davon stimmt. Es sind die Zweifel, die die Verteidigung gestreut hat (ihr Job) und die von vielen einfach für die Wahrheit gehalten werden. Fast alle der hier aufgeführten Punkte hat die Verteidigung vor dem CAS nicht mal mehr erwähnt.

[SPORT & POLITICS @JensWeinreich]

Akute Boldt-Gefahr #Vušković. Schaun mer mal in die Begründung des CAS, von NADA zeitnah angekündigt. Niemand hat die Absicht, CAS, NADA, WADA zu glaubwürdigen Instanzen hochzuschreiben - aber was HSV und Fans seit Ewigkeiten zum Epo-Doping bieten, ist kaum mehr als Folklore.

The @aiu_athletics is appealing the decision to clear the US Olympian Erriyon Knighton of wrongdoing. An arbitrator accepted that he ate steroid-contaminated oxtail.

Interesting to note his manager, Ramon Clay, was banned as part of the BALCO scandal for using steroids.

Sehr wichtige Einordnung, auch und vor allem zur Leichtathletik: Dort hat der DLV [von 2021 bis 2025 ca.] "52 Millionen zur Verfügung, die Briten nur 27 Millionen. Der DLV machte daraus in Paris 4 Medaillen, Großbritannien aber 10."

Serbia might have just had the drunkest podium appearance in Olympics history. Here's the story in many parts. right after the game singing "Currys on fire" (I assume to meme their grandfatherly coach blurting this out in a TO in broken English at some pt) https://t.co/q5YF4DawRL

Of course, the whole circus would have been avoided if Thomas Bach had announced he was not standing at the @iocmedia Session in Mumbai last October when it was first suggested he serve another term. But he didn’t because he originally thought it was a good idea (and had had the original question planted, of course). He could also have ended the speculation at the opening of this Session before the @Olympics at @Paris2024 but did not because he still had not ruled it out. But after two weeks of being publicly mocked around the world for not being able to tell the difference between a man and a woman he has now decided term limits should be respected. Devious to the very end.

Also on Salwa Eid Nasar some excerpts from the CAS finding

The first a litany of the various ways that she evaded testers - a non existent building being my favourite - but secondly how they viewed her evidence

What is unfair is her competing in #Paris2024

[Duncan Mackay @duncanjourno]

The @iocmedia President Thomas Bach did not attend the final of the @Olympics #Boxing final at @Paris2024 despite having spent nearly two weeks defending Imane Khelif. But @AcnoaAnoca President Mustapha Berraf, who is Algerian, was there. Last October, it was Berraf who had first raised the idea of Bach staying on as head of the IOC when his current 12-year term ends next year, even though this is against the Olympic Charter. I will let you draw your own conclusions.

Who trains Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone? Bob Kersee.

Anyone who believes that Caster Semenya will become president of World Athletics also believes that the earth is a disc and the moon is green cheese.

When you thought Mondo Duplantis couldn’t get better he turns up visibly hungover in the studio 9:00 AM after what must’ve been a long night

[Campaign For Clean Sport @SportCampaign]

A common theme seems to be retired athletes who had very little to say on the subject during their careers and are now beyond the statute of limitations suddenly becoming in favour of increasing testing and longer (or lifetime) bans ...

The great sporting paradox.

Athletes can only compete at their best when they are at their sickest.

[Joe Papp @joepabike]

Keep in mind, this woman’s husband bought her EPO from me. Not a surprise French sports bureaucrats find that inconvenient. @lequipe and others widely reported it. #doping #Paris2024

[Grit Hartmann @Grit_Hartmann]

Have seen a few performances at these #ParisOlympics, which make me wonder: Is the re-testing of doping samples a few years after the Games still on the #IOC agenda, @iocmedia?
