Not enough noise as I hadnt heard about it. Bloody right too. I cannot stand people who think cheating only matter in “important” results. The scum need to be exposed.

If I’m going to lay out £2k to £3k or more on getting faster, I want it to be on really shiny stuff that everyone can see and be jealous AF of, not shit that needs hiding….

… was of the opinion that the only doping that’s rife is all the pill popping in body building - building up and stripping back. They all talk about it quite openly on body building chat sites.
Perhaps with some amateurs there could be temptation for substances that encourage fat burning, that also involves boosting endurance in some manner… Footballers have been caught with that stuff - ephedrine and the like?
Maybe not just the Italians 
My feeling was actually that we (British people, not necessarily forumites) assume GB are clean and all foreign are drugs. Especially if Russia or China. Probably the same elsewhere.

I don’t think that necessarily but I’m constantly disappointed that the rhetoric on here is to absolutely vilify GB first and completely ignore that there is cheating going on elsewhere.
Ensuring our own house is in order and keeping other nations honest are not mutually exclusive concepts.
I’ve just been reading the Katie Compton thread on ST. FMD, there is some serious denial going on there!

There are plenty of Brits serving sanctions right now, so it’s no secret British athletes dope.
However, I would agree that the culture and prevalence of doping is lower than in certain other countries.
ETA: I took my first paragraph out because I completely misread Joex’s post which meant I thought it was saying the opposite of what it was. (it’s early, sorry 
)
There is a difference between an honest conversation and throwing your own nation completely under the bus.
Living in Oz so long teaches you to be proud of your nation, not hold back when it comes to admonishing your own but not keeping quiet about others because of that.
It’s just my opinion, I know I’m in the minority and I don’t wish to fall out with anyone on here but when i think something needs saying, it gets said.

We don’t have that problem here. Patriotism is not front and centre as it is for countries like Australia and the USA.
IMO, that’s the problem. It’s possible to be patriotic without being a Fail reading nationalist. Anyway, drifting into a non doping convo, so I’ll leave it there.

What was his story? Born in US, moved to Italy as a kid?
Clearly an athletics purist who doesn’t want to capitalize financially on his

no doubt he’ll get a few OOC tests
Or the opposite and he is about to be announced for Italian Strictly Come Dancing.
He might be injured? Avoiding competition is hardly an admission of guilt.

Marten van Riel the Belgian triathlete isn’t holding back
“First Yelistratova and now Polyanskiy… Everyone knew and still it took so many years to catch them. Doesn’t give much confidence in the system but still glad to see them go.”

Missed the Polyanskiy story. It’s so frustrating having athletes doping just after we’ve all enjoyed watching the Olympics. Who know which athletes are clean!
