#banchegin finally happens

Dude, you can't be calling people out in public and then be shocked when they fire back. No one buys that routine.

But I wan't being nasty.

You openly called me out, saying that I am someone who harbors ill feelings toward people based upon their country of origin. Then you have temerity to act offended when I react to your skulduggery. You don't know me or anything about me, yet feel you can troll me here without a response. Wrong board, back to Letsrun for you.

I'm not trolling anybody :-( I'm just a track n field fan.

How can anyone have faith in the USA when the USATF tells the rest of the world to get their houses in order but don't worry about us because we are bigger than you and therefore it is OK for us to cuddle up to our drug cheats, to make them national coaches, to let them off with 1 year bans etc etc.

That attitude of their national body must really piss off all of the clean USA athletes.

Yes, it does! It absolutely does. Many athletes, coaches and fans are furious about that situation. Letsrun has covered it extensively.

I WAS interested in what Let's Run had to say on various subjects, maybe especially the Salazar scandal.

That is, until yesterday!

Then I took some time to read some of the MB comments on Kara Goucher's latest statement, that she'd changed her mind about going public with what she has, and will talk only to USADA.

Read what those INSANE NUTCASES---not to mention HYPOCRITES!!---have said against her.

Filled with hate, insults, lies, mis-quotes, and enough character assassination to last 10 lifetimes!!

I stand with Kara Goucher!

Let's Run be DAMNED!!!

Race walking team for the Worlds has been announced
20km w- Elmira Alembekova, Vera Sokolova, Svetlana Vasileva
50km- Aleksandar Yargunkin, Mihail Ryzhov, Ivan Noskov
20km m- Aleksandr Ivanov(defending champion), Denis Strelkov, Stanislav Yemelyanov, Andrey Krivov

Acting president of the federation keeps saying that walkers will not be competing in Beijing due to an investigation into Chogin. In another interview he said that at least those trained by Chogin won't be competing and that is more than half of the names previously selected. Final decision will be made next week.
I know many people will love it but it will be a travesty to ban someone who has never failed a test despite the history of the coach. I don't want to go into another coach examples from around the world.

There is a difference between banning and not selecting.

rats123, I am not sure you even know (i.e., are aware of) what you do not know in this context. Maybe you ought to think about about what you think you see from a very small subset of posts from the poster on this board that knows as much or more about racewalking than anyone else here.
