It’s official. Will miss Olympics but could be back for 2024.

What a shite ruling. Unrepeantant serial doper/ evader. Should have increased it to 12 for being a wanker. Or lifetime.

Those in FINA who wanted to let him off Scott free need to throw themselves on some nearby upward facing swords too. But that would require integrity and that’s pretty lacking in many who reside in world governing bodies.

It’s tough to give up a cash register and/or slaughter a national hero.
Sentencing is pretty much as harsh as possible when considering the persona, current world climate and all the other headwind.

I agree about 4 vs. 12/life, but it still feels like a win when you were half expecting nothing.

Really glad he isn’t in a position to take a medal from someone in Tokyo. Would have preferred that he not be Paris-eligible as well. Unrepentant doper.

Ah, yes. The unrepentant doper for whom that both CAS panels went out of their way of to make sure medals weren’t invalidated, including the previous one where they explicitly declined to invalidate his results.

Maybe he should just change nationalities.

+1 If anything I was expecting a retroactive ban that would still let him race in Tokyo. Smashing a blood sample with a hammer? Yeah, nothing to hide. /s
