Always seems strange to me how CO’s drug ban hardly ever gets a mention
Take and understand your point but she missed drug tests (a la Rio Ferdinand in football some years back) and was not banned for actually taking drugs.
True. She was banned for missing three tests that would have confirmed if she was taking drugs.
A good evening's watching tonight with the cycling and the athletics and the weird water thing. Realised that I missed the climbing, so will try to see that tomorrow. I'm old but I like lots of these new fast activities that have been introduced.
Ann Packer (mother of the footballing Brightwells)
Mary Rand
Mary Peters
Tessa Sanderson
Sally Gunnell
Denise Lewis
Kelly Holmes (800 metres and 1500 metres Athens 2004)
Jessica Ennis
Christine Ohuruogu
Keely Hodgkinson
British female Olympic gold medallists in athletics.
👏🏼Good research Len. 11 golds from 10 women.
So from 1896 to 1964 when Packer won the 800m and Rand won the long jump in Tokyo no Gold medal for GB women. Different time and all amateurs.
Plus the East Germans and Russians were on state sponsored drug programs.
Women have only been allowed to compete in athletics in the Olympics since 1928. So GB women could not have won medals in track and field for the first eight Olympiads.

Gutted that a brilliant book I had on every Olympic games since 1896 went missing as I had so much information, without having to Google !
Laura Muir, a stalwart of the GB team with a silver in Tokyo after being 7th in Rio over 3 Olympics ran comfortably to Qualify in the 1500m 1st round
Georgia Bell ran well to Qualify in heat 2, 1500m
Reeve Walcott-Nolan GB in heat 3 who is a tall runner unfortunately failed to qualify.

Probably because she quite likely wasn't taking drugs, which subsequent reports pretty much confirm.
"Crucially, the report states that Ohuruogu twice tested negative in July 2006 - the same month as the third missed test that led to her ban."
Personally i don't see how you can be so careless to miss three tests, but i don't think she's a drug cheat.
Saw an article on it and the rules were pretty tough (as they should be tbh), basically putting in where you'll be for at least an hour a day up to 3 months in advance, so I wonder if she changed plans etc and didn't update it.
But frankly, if my career and reputation depended on updating it, I'd make damn well sure I updated it.
I thought a lot of people used performance enhancers in the past but got away with it. The Irish swimmer Michelle Smith reportedly used to put a whisky soaked finger into her wee wee when tracked down for a random test in order to confuse the results. I used to also think that amongst others Steve Cram was as dodgy as they come and he makes a living as a commentator.

Why ? The most controversial thing that the leading Commentator for the BBC has done was to leave his wife to live with Curbishley ! a couple of decades ago.
A silver medalist in Olympics and WC Gold medal winner but I can't see any thing dodgy ?
The Jarrow arrow is a Sunderland fan and created a charity in East Africa for kids so seems a decent man.

Dodgy hair as a youngster but didn't we all.
I would've thought it was obvious why they are "wary" of him. Doesn't need an actual reason based on any facts.

It (my guesswork) was based around what enhancers around at that time reportedly used to do to the body, especially the condition of the skin. I am happy to be wrong, because Cram is one of the better commentators.

It really isn't
Here's a clue: Cram is white. Therefore Seth is naturally wary of him. It's a simple as that. Doesn't need a reason. "Guesswork" is enough, apparently.

I explained my reasons, but as is your usual habit you want to distort things and personalise. Why don’t you focus on your ‘New Bird on Countdown’ thread instead of concentrating on me?
That's it from them, until we see the unfortunates used for the Modern Pentathlon for the last time as they will be replaced by an obstacle course for the athletes to negotiate in 2028. Hopefully we won't see a repeat of the mistreatment of Saint Boy that ultimately did for Annika Schleu in Tokyo 🙄

👏🏼Good research Len.
11 golds from 10 women.
So from 1896 to 1964 when Packer won the 800m and Rand won the long jump in Tokyo no Gold medal for GB women.
Different time and all amateurs.
Are they steroided up to the gills anymore? Probably not.
Are they microdosing and cycling on/off in lead up to major events? Happens in every single sport.
If they're doing it safely and are healthy who cares.

3 times was either very careless or very dodgy.

So I would suggest you need to focus on the words "Defamation" and "libel".
My comment is above for you to work on, and you seem to be a legal expert, go for it.
