STRAIGHT Before we knew how the deadly corona virus is going to change the game, athletics revealed another cheat. Ukrainian 800-meter star Natalija Pryshepa was taken by an illegal diuretic.
She was not just another number in the long track line that took the shortcut to misunderstood success. This was an exceptionally embarrassing revelation. A few months after the last European Championship in Berlin, Natalija was picked up on stage during the European Athletics Gala to receive the Fair Play award for sport.
He received the award because he was very kind to a competitor who fell, but both the thought and the award turned out to be a bluff:
- Natalia deceived those who consoled.
She was unreliable, and unfortunately, this falsehood is characterized by much of international athletics.
That is why the sport decided just a few weeks later that it will not trust anyone from now on.
GIVES It is understandable that the International Athletics Association (World Athletics) has revealed the authenticity of all the new results in the sport.
Bislett Games and the other major organizers of the Diamond League are working on alternative competitions this fall, but the results may not be official:
- As of December 1, none of the achievements in the different athletics exercises count in either the sports ranking lists or the Olympic rankings.
For statistical reasons, the results will continue to be noted, but will not be used. It is just an opening to approve world records. But that’s only because these registries have been given much more credible control after athletics created the independent agency Athletics Integrity United a couple of years ago to distinguish between honesty and fraud.
So the new leaders of the sport have finally learned after decades of scams. This is a sport where many of the best results are most suspect.
FOR A few years ago, Svein tried Arne Hansen; the seasoned Norwegian president of European athletics, to erase all old records to give the sport he loves a new start.
It was with the experiment. Even with renewed international leadership, the opposing forces were still too strong.
In this sport, many have participated too much.
SO MUCH There are many reasons to be skeptical of what happens secretly during this pandemic. The opportunities to plunge into the accident have brought out the worst in us. Reports are coming to undermine vital ancillary equipment and the spread of organized crime amid the turmoil.
The level of athletics is based in part on organized scams of state sports systems in various communist countries in the 1970s and 1980s, through strong private training environments in the US. USA, Africa and southern Europe to carry out Olympic traps in Russia.
The last thing was almost no stopping before the virus let the sport down. It’s only been a few months since World Athletics had to tighten sanctions on Russian athletes because the Russian Athletics Federation had ripped the sport off again with an official theft story about big star Danile Lysenko.
BUSINESS As almost all doping control has been halted as the world tries to stem the ravages of the coronavirus, a control system is needed that affects sports scammers in all countries. This is the main reason why individual results are not approved.
Also, athletics like other sports wants to be as fair as possible. The 214 member countries of the World Athletics are unevenly affected by the pandemic. So it’s natural to put all athletics on hold. No less important in relation to the qualification for the Tokyo Olympics that may come next summer.

PRELIMINARY There has been great disagreement about the removal of the results for most of the year 2020. The athletes’ organization has asked to be included in the decision on how long the detention of the result will last. At the end of last weekend, organizers of the big event sent letters to athletics president Sebastian Coe asking him for slightly softer rules.
Organizers hope to kick off their traditional big rallies in late fall, and the European Athletics Championships in Paris last August are rather strange yet to be canceled. Therefore, they propose that the results obtained in the European Championships, the national championships or in the important competitions be approved in the usual way.
But for international athletics, therefore, it is not just a return to normality.
Because this is still a sport that runs the risk of giving fair play prizes to those who are the best at cheating on you.
Do you want to argue?
