Doping in other sports

[smutchin]

Asbel Kiprop, Olympic and multi-world champion in 1500m, has been busted in an out of competition test.

Not possible. These Kenyans, it’s a combination of genetics and being born in the mountains, and probably being chased by lions when they were kids or something. But now you’re telling me it’s because they’re actually dirty drugs cheats? My whole world has crumbled.*

Another over paid naughty boy.

"While I did not realise at the time that I was given a medication that was banned, I obviously now wish that I had been more careful," - really? Have we heard that line somewhere before?

Will he still earns his $2million per month during his 80 game ban?

That's the 64 million dollar question!

Banned for 80 matches. Sounds like a lot, but means he’ll be back mid-August this year and he’s out injured at the moment anyway.

Another asthmatic?

'UK Anti-Doping (Ukad) said his actions were not intentional and that he "did not look to cheat".' Really - why take the stuff then?

Seems a bit harsh for this tennis player. Her mother’s cancer drug has contaminated her food.

I'm sure I've seen the "contamination with relative's medication" explanation used before. Or maybe it was the same case.

I think there's been a few.

It's #7 on the most used excuses for being busted list

This thread needs a little pick-me-up, so how about....

UEFA seemingly grow some genitals and win an appeal to extend “the new Zidane’s” ban to 18 months. Retrospective though so he can be back, whatever that means, in November.
