Ist olympic drug ban

[jamese1045]

In the "1968 [edit for detail]Mexico City Olympics Revisited" item today, they mention one of the "landmarks" as the "first drug ban" of the games as: a swede pentathlete who imbibed in "excessive alcohol to improve his shooting."

ah, the good ole days......

Just remember, in those "good old days" he could have been taking steroids as well, but that wasn't on the banned list.

From what I remember, the first positive test in T&F didn't happen until 1976. Trivia Q: does anyone remember who it was?

[Half Miler]

Brett Barclay.

OK, I'll bite: what's a Brett Barclay?

First Olympic positive, yes. First IAAF positive, as I recall, was the year before, same event, different sex. I'm sure on the first part, but not the second.

Good work bam.

Not sure how this would work in terms of the timeline of her usage, but fair to assume Jones' results from 2004 will be tossed as well?

[eldrick]

1996 Ivan Prandzheva BUL Long jump, 7th triple jump, 4th Methadienone (stimulant)

bam

that one's a steroid

Good point, thanx. And yes, based on history, Jones's medals are all toast. I also think the relay medals are gone as well. The analogy to Jerome Young does not hold up well, in which his medal was removed, but the other runners were allowed to keep theirs. Young only ran in the preliminaries and not the final. Jones ran only in the final of the 4x1 and 4x4.

I'm not so sure about that. Although Young didn't run the final, that apparently wasn't why the others were allowed to keep their medals.

Ruling against the International Association of Athletics Federations and the International Olympic Committee on a similar case, the Court of Arbitration for Sport said it was "legal abracadabra" to punish all members of a 2000 Olympic relay that included one doped athlete because rules at the time did not specify such punishment. . . .
That Young ran only in the relay preliminaries was not germane to CAS' 2005 ruling on the status of the other runners' medals.

Yes, I did mean the Olympics (as the title of the thread says).

According to wikipedia, Brett Barclay and Danuta Rosani were the only Athletics doping positives from the Montreal Games.

Note that he's not on bam's definitive list; I don't recall the name at all in any context.

[bambam]

According to wikipedia, Brett Barclay and Danuta Rosani were the only Athletics doping positives from the Montreal Games.

Nobody named Brett competed for Canada in Athletics at the 1976 Olympic Games. Nobody named Barclay competed for Canada in Athletics at the 1976 Olympic Games. And nobody named Brett Barclay, in any variation I could find, has competed for any nation at the Olympics in any sport. And in case he was an alternate in 1976, the 1976 Canadian Olympic Association does not list anybody by that name as being on the Canadian team.

[bad hammy]

My guess is that someone who knows a Brett Barclay in Canada has been bogusly adding his name as a PED user in various online sites. This site has him as a PED-suspected member of the Toronto Blue Jays. Online baseball sites have no listing of a Brett Barclay.

Did somebody on this list change that link because Barclay is no longer on it? Either that or they're reading this board.

Sheesh. I've been duped.
