I see a couple of Kenyans have refused to take the testosterone levels test and hence won't be going to Doha: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-athl...

September's fine. October's not.

Michelle Lee Ahye provisionally suspended for three missed tests. Not American so it may stick.

[Occasional Hope]

I’m really not a fan of these. Mostly they go to people who would be unless American), so in practice it’s more a random wild card for a lesser competition...

[Occasional Hope]

Very impressive!

[Occasional Hope]

presumably Langford and Webb won’t be rooming together 😏

[Occasional Hope]

Frustrating. Let’s hope at least that WADA and the IAAF. I’m at least have him firmly on their radar and test him as often as possible.

[Occasional Hope]

I’d pick Wightman if he doesn’t get the 1500spot.

[Occasional Hope]

So is the concept of strict liability dead?

That change request is for Tokyo next year not for Doha.

[Occasional Hope]

Well done to both Aimee Pratt and Scott Lincoln. It looks as if Scott's new mark is not good enough for Doha though - 32 men have the official qualifying...

How would you cater for multi events, especially if someone is likely to switch to one of the constituent events?

[Occasional Hope]

Apparently the person in question declared cold medication at the Jamaican championships, but there was something else found as well.

[Occasional Hope]

If that’s true I would definitely not pick Webb.
