Sanctimony

I dont understand to Harting.
If you back after to be banned, you have right for to get gold medals, awards,...

The opposite is discrimination.

Robert Harting MOY

He may not have dine enough for AOY but he's certainly my Man Of The Year for his principled stand

If only IAAF had the same morals and integrity

What a hero

[mump boy]

Sanctimony

Principles

[t_monk]

My respect level for this man was already high.... But now it's just fricking skyrocketed! Without question he's now on my list as one of MY favorite athletes of all time for this one action.

*slow claps for Harting*

You sir are a hero in my eyes!

[beebee]

Principles? Fucking lol! Principles now?
Harting is a complete goddamn hypocrite who clearly doesn't understand the IAAF's rules and regulations nor his own Nation's drug saturated history.

[beebee]

Hypocrite of the year. This is like the U.S. calling ISIS violent.

Maybe when Harting's nation gives back ALL of the world records, Olympic and World Championship medals they obtained solely because they were doped to the fucking gills through their STATE SPONSORED DRUG PROGRAMS.

Right, because Harting, who was 5 years old when the wall fell, was personally responsible for all the drug abuse in East Germany. And since you once again seem to be clueless, you can't give back a world record.

I wish athletes would make more stands on this subject. It's all very well us getting upset about is but ultimately it's on their behalf so this action is very much appreciated

Paying one's debt to society and then being given a second chance is a cornerstone "principle" in a true Democracy. But I guess that you are totally clueless to what that represents.

How is his being German the same as being a hypocrite? If he'd served a drug ban and then said this, that would be hypocritical but saying he doesn't want to share a list with people that have served a drug ban when he is clean is not, regardless of which country he is from

Why choose to represent a country that was previously sponsoring drug programs if he holds such a strong opposing stance on drug cheats?

Yeah, he made a big mistake in choosing to be German, should have selected a nicer place of birth.
