Yeah, from memory he appealed and they cut it short so they must've thought the original length was too heavy a penalty for the charge. 100m scene hasn't been clean since at least the 50's. I just enjoy the performances regardless. Would love to have seen Ben Johnson (cut off in his prime) v Bolt....
Second offence should have been lifetime ban, but was reduced because he was "assisting" them.
Farce.

Useless fact from earlier today courtesy of ITV
If Aberdeenshire was a country, it would be above Australia in the Olympic medal table as things stand.
The Scottish county can currently claim two Gold medals and a Silver thanks to success for Timothy Baillie in the canoe C-2 slalom, Katherine Grainger in the double sculls rowing and David Florence, also in the canoe slalom.
The tally would beat Australia, currently in 19th place with only one Gold among its 20 medals.
Superb.
Yorkshire if a country would be ninth!

They are scrapping the Barrel as Lossiemouth isn't in Aberdeenshire.

Wimbledon by a gazillion miles.
And I say that as a Murray fan. He played without feeling pressure today.

Anyone else think that Murray's outfit is a bit too blue?
He is

I suppose.
Where was this bloke in the Wimbledon final?
How on earth did you get that one through, Mr Chess Guru!

Taoufik Makhloufi. Made 1500 final, team forgot to withdraw his 800 entry
walked off in the 800 to conserve after 100 and now he's been DQed as a non trier.

Wow!
Seems harsh. Interesting that the commentators were questioning his performance in the 1500m without actually saying they suspected him of doing anything illegal. Implication was there though.
Oh he needs a doctor's letter

Pretty sure he'll get back in.
Saw the 1500, commentators definitely implying something was up.

There was no implication at all. "I've never seen him have this level of pace before" and I think he said "Where's he found this finish from?" Couldn't have been more blatant if Crammy had said "And steroid boy wins"
It was pretty bad IMO
