Re: Murielle Ahoure 10.91s in France

Ahoure seems to run best when not under pressure in the 100m i should say.She seems to handle the 200m well.I guess this is a good sign of what kind of shape she is in .All things being considered if she gets it right come Moscow i expect her to medal

I read somewhere he is representing some european T&F club and the suspension is only for international championships. But since he doesn't want to compete for Cuba anyway that suspension won't matter much unless they make life difficult for him if he changes nationalities.

I'm not too sure about this, but if Cuba didn't want Robles to run, then he wouldn't be able to run. If I'm not mistaken, athletes, even when competing on the circuit, compete at the behest of their countries. That consideration can easily be pulled and has been pulled on occassion for reasons that had nothing to do with official IAAF suspensions. My guess is they either don't care what he does because he's not running for Cuba anymore or that he's already changed his citizenship.

Alexandria Anderson also ran 11.36 in the same race. The poor girl is headed to Moscow to embarrass herself.

Obviously he is still Cuban, otherwise the CUB after his name wouldn't make much sense. And i think at international meetings you can either compete for your country or your club, internationl championships is the only place where only the national federations can enter athletes.

If she performs like that in Moscow USATF need to make her pay for her own airfare. She should also buy her own food and book her own hotel stay. She might as well have had a bed and comforter on the starting block.

Its her first race so we need to wait and see what she can do. I thought she ran a good relay leg when she was on the team in Daegu so perhaps she will speed up again when she hits Moscow. Gardner and Duncan also raced a slower than compared to US Trials, I'll be interested now to see what Rollins the other big performer can manage.

Gardner and Duncan had a long collegiate season and have proved themselves worthy over and over. Anderson looks like she is dancing by the track at morning time and not getting on it.

Again, I don't believe that's true. I can remember Jamaica suspending Raymond Stewart in '89 because he wouldn't run on a relay and he couldn't compete anywhere. I think, but I'm not sure, that the Kenyan federation also did it to some distance runners a few years back. Even when you compete on the circuit, you are eligible because your country allows it is how I have understood it.

I'm sure Cuba is quite happy to see Robles running, and running well, so long as there's still a chance that they'll be able to coax one of their best medal hopes back into the fold before Moscow. Pissing him off more is a lose-lose for the federation. If he refuses to run for them in Moscow, then I'm guessing we'll see a more strident reaction.

I'm also guessing that in this day and age, with CAS now a fact of life, that we're overdue for an athlete to take a federation to task there for a suspension that's related to something other than a broach of IAAF rules.
