Kenya's former athletics team manager was exposed by two undercover journalists in an article in August 2016 and was sent home from the Rio Olympic Games

Kenya's former athletics team manager, Michael Rotich, has been banned for 10 years for agreeing to provide advance notice to athletes of doping tests in exchange for money, the International Association of Athletics Federations announced on Wednesday.

He also offered to provide excuses which athletes could use to avoid being penalised for missing tests. "The conduct of Major Rotich was dishonest and corrupt. He sought to undermine anti-doping controls and to obtain a personal financial benefit in doing so."

If athletes are supporting Caster and Medical Doctors says is not right to enforce or lowering testosterone and is dangerous WHY DON'T YOU BOYCOTT AVERY ATHLETIC GAMES UNTIL THIS IS STOPPED. I'm not happy with this at all. But overall she won 30 races consecutively on IAAF and she's a double Olympic champion who made such a huge global impact around athletics. I salute and love her.

OPINIONISTA: Gender in crisis: The latest IAAF ruling and the implications for global gender constructsThe IAAF could have welcomed and celebrated Caster Semenya, admitted its assumptions and rethought its regulations to promote substantive fairness in athletics across the genders. This would have removed the European cultural bias in international sport on the definitions and categories of gender, and opened the door for transgender and transsexual people to legitimately compete without being stigmatised and ostracised as strange, alien, foreign, inconsistent and unwanted.

Eva Longoria warns abortion bans are danger to womenThe man who came up with this ban didn’t have women’s interests in mind. Imagine a woman is forced to carry her rapist’s child to full term.
