World Athletics Championships - looking boring?
Discussion
No Powell (cheating),
No Gay (cheating),
No Blake (injured),
No Rudisha (injured),
No Dobriskey (injured)
No Idowu (WTF?)
Question marks over:
Rutherford (injury)
Tomlinson (no A standard)
Jess Ennis (injury)
Dasaolu is looking strong for the 100m but is he likely to beat Bolt? The only other contender really is former drugs cheat Gatlin, whom I can't stand. Don't get me wrong I want Bolt to win but at least want him challenged.

Because she was guilty of one thing and took her punishment. You are accusing her of something else. Which pretty much goes against my notions of natural justice, and doing it just because you have suspicions of something else based on nothing other than cynicism.
In other words Tonks, you are being a
. In the world of being a cynical contemptuous SOB, trust me, it takes one to know one.

On the subject matter I don't think the WC's will be boring, the men's 5k and 10k will be intriguing, as will the men's 800m. In the men's TJ you have two guys who could go beyond 18m, high jumpers approaching the WR, Blessing Okagbare has a chance of doing the 100m/LJ double, Defar and Dibaba will hopefully go head to head over 10k and 5k and Lavillene is always a good watch.
You just have to look a little past the men's 100m/200m.

Some other athletes manage it quite well, others don't. Apparently there are more on two missed tests than you would think. It's worth reading Tom Fordyce's views as he went on the whereabouts system for a while, and he found that there were several times when he could have absent-mindedly picked up a missed test.http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/tomfordyce/2011/06/insi...

When CO missed her tests she would have hardly been earning a fortune as she was not very well known, all of her major successes on the world stage came after her missed tests. Also, in terms of sorting someone else to do it, especially after two, she only had a month between her last two missed tests.

J Edwards is doing a great job and even Paula is getting better (nice legs too).

Jonathan Edwards has been great, I like his relax style; is he new being an anchor? I can’t remember seeing him as anchor before.
Donovan Bailey is a nice new addition to the BBC team; Michael Johnson’s analysis has always been great but at times his style is a bit too dry for me. Bailey brings a bit more humour.

I love Michael Johnson, I'm always surprised he's not on the panel of American sports shows rather than the BBC as he offers so much, he might not be entertaining but he's incredibly knowledgable and puts that knowledge and opinions across really well.Jonathan Edwards has been great, I like his relax style; is he new being an anchor?

I think Edwards is anchor for the early morning slots. He should get the job permanently. Bailey is good and talks a lot of sense, Johnson will be back shortly though. I like his dry tell it how it is attitude. Jonathan Edwards has been great, I like his relax style; is he new being an anchor? I can’t remember seeing him as anchor before.
