OGHENAOGIE: OLUWATOBI AMUSAN had been declared free from all allegation. She was even subjected to tests before and after the DIAMOND LEAGUE race (a race involving only the best legs in the athletics world) where she went ahead to win another gold. She passed the tests and still won the gold. She CLEARED THEIR DOUBT AND KEPT THEM SHUT. 4 Likes |

EKONGKING: She brought home gold. That's what the developer did. They found a way to sub the system. Most people do it and get away with it. In your industry, I believe you know one or two ways to beat the system. You may not be doing it, but you sure know some people do it and get away with it. Even as a Nigerian, she's not the first to be caught for doping. Many foreign athletes have been caught also. So it's not a developer mindset per se. Our first Olympic Gold was by a developer- Chioma Ajunwa. Could it be she beat the system too? ...then subject all laurel holders to scrutiny...they are either all clean or you'll be shocked. Make your research, there were some expelled sprinting records in the past. The current women's world record, is not the highest record there is. There was an era that drug dominated athletics. Does not justify it tho, but should exonerate the issue from being a "developer" issue. When Tobi Amusan was being scrutinised, I was in fear for her. I didn't want to be put to international shame. I felt it as a co-nigerian, not as a yoruba, Igbo or Hausa person. It would have been a loss for everyone. So let's all embrace this shame that Grace has brought, and admonish everyone else that this kind of disgrace will no longer be tolerated. Fight it as a nation, don't point hands to one tribe, as if the shame comes to the tribe alone. The international disdain affects everyone. |

COMPAQ: While I share your suspicions (heck, since the whole East German program, then BALCO , everyone has been suspicious...one nightmare I have is Usain Bolt being proven to have used drugs retrospectively), athletes too can have bad years and good years. Also, some of the victories eg Commonwealth gold...can be explained. Most of the top competitors were not there. World gold? She was doing well...and her performances were improving. That she did not do well in Hungary? Easily explained..other athletes were doing well too.(plus she had to fight the drug charges which did wonders for training concentration. I) Also, most top athletes undergo repeated testing. If she had been on something, she would have been caught(Okagbare was caught by a out of competition test) |

EKONGKING: Well, everyone uses drugs, not just people from a certain tribe...as many investigations over the years have proven otherwise. |

OGHENAOGIE: TRUE, just confirmed it. Last thing I saw about the case was that the AIU, having proclaimed that they would appeal, failed to do so within the 30days period the law allows for it hence the submission. CHECKING the internet now, I realized they made the appeal a day later. BUT no shaking. She passed all tests pre and post DIAMOND LEAGUE race and still won,,gold. That shows she wasn't cheating to enhance her performance. BESIDES, she had test only days before the day they declared her whereabout unknown, so that's another angle to look at it. 2 Likes |
