Archives for April 2012

The lifetime ban for doping: Debate continued

Ross · 30 Apr 2012 ·

So as expected, CAS today overturned the BOA policy of issuing a lifetime ban for any athlete who has served a doping ban longer than six months. This is hardly unexpected, and is a decision that probably owes much to the legal backdrop of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA’s) policy which issues a two-year ban […]

Olympic buzz: Around the rings

Ross · 28 Apr 2012 ·

The British Olympic Association vs WADA on its lifetime ban policy Next week should kick off with a Court of Arbitration verdict that will clear the way for some British athletes to compete in London, despite a British Olympic Association (BOA) policy that hands down lifetime bans for doping offenses.

Boston strikes back: The Boston 2012 meltdown

Ross · 16 Apr 2012 ·

Wesley Korir and Sharon Cherop have won the 2012 Boston Marathon for Kenya. Surprise names, perhaps (particularly Korir), but you might, at first glance, call it “just another Kenyan victory”. It was anything but. Today was a reminder of the difficulty of the marathon, because Mother Nature, so kind to Boston one year ago, decided […]
