Off Topic Other Sports Thread

there is a serious issue at the worlds.

there are british actors basically picking out athletes at random and knocking them out of events without any protocols to go by and the whole thing is now a farce.

The fact is things have done on that are not equal or balanced and its affected several outcomes so this worlds is a complete and utter waste of time to even pay attention to.

The woman who came on bbc last night also broke patient confidentiality by speaking about the medical discussion he had.... for political gain. If he met a competition dr he is as entitled to confidentiality as anyone else and she basically bleated out the full record. All she had a right at maximum to do was say the records taken don't agree with the public statements form his camp.

 

There's a justification for questioning but ganging up does them or the issue no good at all. They weren't being impartial, they were acting like parents of a child at school sports day. (I have no particular love of the IAAF after the way Coe was elected by disgraced delegates, his right hand man had to resign after bribes over Russian doping and the whole Eugene Nike thing.)

The issue of foul play that came to my mind was when there were reports of two hotels. One is bad enough but two suggests this bug was introduced by an outside agent.

Confidentiality is a fair point, though that affects the communication Logan was complaining about. I'm not sure she was putting anything out which wasn't already in the public domain, though I'm not entriely sure of everything that was in the public domain by that time. Certainly it was clear the panel were taking the statements from his camp as gospel.

 

Baseball

 

Fecking rounders in tights.

 

That's the ****er

 

I agree with everything MFG is saying. It is a public health matter and the way they were questioning the health woman was unjustified. If there is an outbreak of sickness and the runs and someone throws up then I think it's safe to assume they have it.

 

Russian.

Probably cut your nuts off for a midnight snack on your honeymoon and pour vodka on the wound.

 

Would be ok if it were women then.

 

Anyone watching the athletics world champs ??

These athletes put footballers to shame in that they actually work hard all year with limited funding and money, very tough schedules, and always try to perform to their best ability in competition

Now doping ... that's another thing but if you think there isn't doping in football, then, continue living in ignorance fool

 

Think in terms of money to work rate, just about every sport makes footballers look shameful.

 

you'd think they could have invested in 3 flag poles. this looks ****ing amateur

 

wow. the Americans are 1st and 2nd in the steeplechase. what a great race.

 

Americans re-emerging as the dominant Track and Field force in this World Champs.

 

Another Fourth Place.

Should be GB's new slogan 'The Fourth best country in the World'

 

big Dafne runs it home for gold but little Dina comes 4th!

some good looking girls in the high jump if you don't mind them tall and skinny.

Morgan Lake is nice...
