strychnine doping is one of the stories of the infamous St.Louis marathon
Anthony Johnson
Maybe.
Kazakh Jontron isn't though.
Neither is any kazakh.
>Head coach of kazakh weightlifting team for international competitions, Aleksey Ni has had 32 of his athletes controlled positive since he stepped in his position in 2008, making him the coach with the worst history of doping his athletes in history of weightlifting
Luis Brooks
>coach with the worst history of doping his athletes in history of weightlifting
technically he is the best doper.
Zachary Thomas
forgot to mention, for the lulz
>bronze medalis Mohamed Ihab has already said he doubts Rahimov is free of suspicions
>he also added that many egyptian weightlifters are awaiting medals in retrospect for the 2012 olympics
Solid banter from Egypt 2bh
Ayden Perry
Canada is actually about to double their london gold count because of Russians and Borats
Cooper Walker
Why do these things come up positive years later sometimes?
Jacob Allen
The science for hiding it is well ahead of the science for finding it
Connor Foster
In what sports though?
Jason Rodriguez
Lot of people and samples to test with limited resources and
Carter Russell
Weightlifting
Borat won gold
Russia won silver
Canada won bronze and is going to be bumped up to gold now
Henry Cooper
New methods of testing, new compounds get discovered and old samples are tested for them.
"Steroids" aren't one drug, there are all sorts of them and athletes are always a few years ahead of the testers. The Strychnine the Kyrgyz tested positive for probably was used as a masking agent.
Jaxson Brown
WELL CONGRATULATIONS, CONGOLOMBIA. WAS THIS A PART OF YOUR MASTER PLAN?
Kayden Ross
Very interesting stuff
So is it safe to say that Artykov was using it as a stimulant?
Nathaniel Richardson
oh shit, what abou that armenian guy that got gold?
Ryan Cook
He was from Georgia.
And he had already been suspended for dopin, sooo...
Tyler Mitchell
not really, but the testing is done for known substances.
If a substance isn't yet known, you can't test for it. And creating a "new" substance is pretty easy organic chemistry where you can substitue one sidechain with a similar chain and have similar effects.
So the science isn't really behind, you just have to identify what they used before you can test for it
Ethan Thompson
NOBODY CARES ABOUT OUR PLANS, WHAT MATTER IS OUR MEDALS

>tfw sports is already like F1 where you have a team of scientist to maximize human performance given certain regulations
It can't be helped I guess.
Zachary Fisher
>maximize human performance given certain regulations
this applies to anything humans do, from economy to war to shitposting on mongolian yaktaming boards.

>Pierre de Coubertin, a French historian and founder of the International Olympic Committee, took disapproving note of the spectacle and made a prescient observation: “As for that outrageous charade, it will of course lose its appeal when black men, red men and yellow men learn to run, jump and throw, and leave the white men behind them.”

>colombia has plans they don't want anyone to know about
really makes you think
Nolan Parker
