The latest news concerning Drugs in Athletics seems to confirm that Russians, with the benediction of their Leaders, are still being administered Drugs to improve their performances !
Apparantly any official blood samples taken during tests are later replaced with "clean" samples obtained earlier when the athlete was "clean" !
This Blog has regularly pleaded in the past that, the only sure way to ensure no drugged athlete can win at the next Olympics in RIO in August 2016, is by testing all competitors shortly before every event.
Those taking part in the Final must be tested for a second time after the event to prevent a cheat being declared the winner of a Medal !
All "out of competition testing" is necessarily of a secondary importance !
What everyone wants to know is whether at the next Olympics a foolproof system will be in place, with the basic principle of "No clean sample, no right to race !"
Are both the IAAF and the Olympic Games Organisation ready ? If so, for Athletics this could be the first "Clean Games", with new clean records !
