          Javlin's were always under inspection. They had to change the specifications several times over the years as throws got longer and longer. It's a stadium sport so not a good idea if throwers can throw a javelin out of the stadium or into the stands which with new lighter materials and better technical design they were in danger of doing.

              Should Russian athletes be allowed to complete at the Olympic Games after the finding that doping was widespread?

              Is the finding of the IOC a green card to state sponsored doping?

                Whole Russian team should have been banned...they have gotten thousands of medals down the decades by cheating...depriving clean hard working athletes of glory

                  'Flying Down to Rio' takes on a different meaning

                    Jembo , IMO the IOC didn't have the balls to ban them , for what ever reason only known to themselves . Now things were bad enough as it stood , but this action or inaction has just made it worse .
                    Deplorable to say least .

                      Twobob; the answer to that one is simple. Money. To me the Olympics represent nothing but political BS. Little countries stand no chance competing against the cheating giants. I don't bother to watch it.

                        Irish boxer banned from Rio, failed drugs test.

                        Michael O’Reilly is the boxer at the centre of reports of an alleged violation of anti-doping rules ahead of the Olympic Games.

                                He should be put in the swimming competition along side Lizzie Armitstead and the pair of them should be made swim home.
