Re: t-and-f: London run costs Ngeny Edmonton spot

There will no doubt be the usual inquest undertaken by the Kenyan officials after Edmonton into why the team performed (in their view) badly. Then, rather than look at themselves to discover the real reason, they'll conclude their restrictions weren't harsh enough and tighten them further next

Re: t-and-f: Borzakovskiy out of Worlds

I understand his coach(es) stopped him competing in the last World championships, though he was hardly missed then. Vyacheslav Evstratov seems to be the coach that is behind his decision to withdraw. Borzakovskiy was quoted a few weeks ago denying rumours he would miss Edmonton. - Original

Re: t-and-f: Lost in the fine print of L'Equipe

What test does it say was used? The combination of tests used in Sydney? I'm assuming the tests were carried out only on athletes that had agreed beforehand. I doubt very much whether the IAAF would have allowed compulsory EPO testing in one of its Golden League meetings at this early stage.

Re: t-and-f: Scratch one, maybe two, from Edmonton

Interesting quote from Borzakovskiy provided by the organisers of today's meeting in Glasgow: There is still two months to go before the World championships and, as long as I am fit, I should be there for a medal. There was a slight scare about burning myself out but, with only running a few

Re: t-and-f: New rules to challenge athletes at adidas Oregon

As I said, Britain has only one GP II meeting and that is after the Council meeting in Edmonton. True, they were strong words from Alan Pascoe but, as far as I can see, the IAAF weren't asking them to try the rule changes anyway. Fast Track, the organisers of Britain's major meetings,

Re: t-and-f: Entry list for Cardinal Invitational

I agree. One thing that annoys me is scanning through a results sheet and seeing the same event being staged umpteen different times only with different titles that make it difficult to establish which is the main one. Calling them 'A' and 'B' makes it obvious which is the more important.
