I use when you couldn't believe the shit about FIFA then this hits! Leaders of the organisation being made to cover up Russian drug cheats! What is sport coming too..

Hidden by the IAAF, and intimidation by the Russian state. Truly shocking, and to think there's a world cup being held there in 2 and a half years. Beggars belief mate.

All corrupt and about the money!

What Russian has won anything lately? Do drugs help with gymnastics or ice skating?

Seb Coe was vice president of the IAAF for 8 years and never saw a thing.
We won 5 more golds than Russia at the 2012 games.
Just Saying.

I think this is why there is a hesitation to ban them as there is more to this saga

 

[SuperElite]

the Russians and Eastern Europeans in particular have been doping since the 50s, doubt they ever stopped, and the technology (undetectable substances, masking etc) just gets better and better. There are many horror stories about steroid casualties in athletics.
Think either Coe is incredibly naiive or has been covering UK doping up for years.

 

[henry the wasp]

I'll go with "covering uk doping up for years".

Can't stand Coe a horrible little specimen who should have been sent to the tower for getting us that bloody Olympics which we will be paying for forever.
