However, with Radcliffe what doesnāt sit well with me is the way she went about it. When approached before the Sunday Times piece broke, she threatened lawsuits if they mentioned her name and remarked that they wouldnāt get their money back like they did in the Armstrong situation.
Further than that, she had her lawyers threaten lawsuits to any journalist who revealed that her name was on the list.
At the very same time, she was initially stating that the names on the list should be released!
The hypocrisy is quite concerning but it only got worse. Once the 2nd Sunday Times story broke about the detailed list of names AND values, she changed her tune in public stating that the names should not be released to anyone.
It took until her back was against the wall when British parliament officials hinted at her being on the list that she finally came forward.
If the science and external circumstances really showed that her test results did not show doping, why not hand it over to as many experts as possible, explain the situation and have them all determine it. Let the research dictate the results.
Secondly, for someone who has been outspoken her whole career, itās very disapointing that when the tables are turned she clams up. What this shows, is itās not about the sport at all, itās about image. If itās about the betterment of the sport, and you know the results will come out eventually, you donāt threaten lawsuits, you go with openness.
Perhaps the lesson to take away is itās easy to demand honesty and openness when the situation fits, but more difficult to demand when the results donāt fit your narrative.
I have no idea if she is clean or not. I donāt know about the abnormal tests beyond what is written and will leave that for the expert scientists to decide. Whether the 3 abnormal tests are confirmed or not, what is telling is the reaction to the whole endeavor.
Always go with openness. Be transparent, even if the results donāt show exactly what you want. Itās transparency at all times, not just when itās convenient, that matters.

Looks like there might be nothing in this. Paul OāConnell is going to make a phone call today and is hoping for a āsensible explanation.ā Than fuck for that. Our hero is on the case.
You would need to take drugs playing rugby. Only way I would stick my head anywhere Paul OāConnellās arse.
Could this be a French ploy to distract Paulie from the World Cup prep?
