""We are always asked what we think the team should be and we voice our opinions, but at the end of the day we have no say in the team and have to sit back and take what we are given," he [Ellington] said."
Didnt see the race or any of the Twitter stuff but saw this from something he said to journalists. Even without the cuntish comments he's shown he's a moron right there.

Apparently rumours that Ujah refused to run in the heats.
Don't think UK Athletics are blameless, they changed the order around needlessly which makes no sense having practiced with a set team. Also strange not to have your fastest runners in the team such as Dasaolu but this is what happens when you allow two cliques to develop. Apparently a lot of grief stems from Ellington putting Dasaolu in a headlock after a bust up during training so that may explain that one.
Still though, Mo Farah;
That's mental. I can't get close to that 400m time, let alone doing it after what he does before.

Great investigation by Hajo Seppelt and his team, also the Stepanovas for exposing it all, it couldn't have happened without their bravery. Really shameful stuff.

If I was Rodchenkov or indeed any of those whistleblowers involved, I'd be checking that any of my meals or drinks weren't glowing slightly before consuming them. The Sochi scam is mental though; So many questions to be raised of the entire anti-doping system from that image alone. Sewer engineer can get into the urine storage area? Tamperproof lids can be bypassed?

Anything Russia is involved in sounds like it comes straight from a movie. Is Russia actually real!?

The funniest thing is that from memory the Russians didn't even have that good a games in 2012. At least the East Germas got so juiced their records are still standing now.

Russian athletics ban upheld by CAS. That must mean the blanket ban across all sport is inevitable.

Women's 100m hurdles record just went to someone who won't even be at the Olympics.

Stupid really.
Jamaican's depth in 100m is mental too, bloke who ran 10.08 didn't even make the final, we don't even have someone who can consistently break 10.1.
Gatlin beats Bolt in Rio.

Yup. No way he makes the same mistake as in Beijing.

Didn't realise just how good that relay time was for the women earlier.
Fifth fastest in history apparently.
Some of the timings seemed off earlier, hope they don't find issues retrospectively

I had no idea they'd gone on sale but I have now.
Gone for cheapest seats for Men's 100m (Obviously, Bolt's said it'll be his last champs), Womens Heptathlon finale and Womens 100m final. Gone for most expensive ones for mens 200m final hoping that Bolt will focus on the 200m as his favourite event as a sign off.

Tyson Gay's 15 old daughter has been murdered. Terrible.
