For those unaware, the IOC has gone back retested 80% of London Olympic samples. However, the 8-year statute of limitations ends August 12.
I assume this means we’ll see a significant amount of cases popping up in June and throughout July, and this could lead to the ‘big bust’ that so many insiders have been hinting at.
Well...they've nailed quite of few Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians, etc. on those retests from London (most of them for that potent steroid Turinbol). So, are you implying that a lot of the samples of medal winners have not been retested yet? (other than the Slavic nations I just mentioned).
I think this is independent of what “stablemaster” and “buckle up” were alluding to in the thread you are referencing.
What I’m referring to is the window closing. They’re rushing to get as many athlete bans in as possible before these lose the ability to on August 12.
If you click on the news of the Indian 800m runner getting busted on the front page the attached article has more specifics.
Rupp and Farah to lose medals? Stay tuned.
Makhloufi

Don't get your hopes up. The IOC would never voluntarily choose to re-test Farah.
Does the Coleman 3rd miss test count as a big bust?

Well, at least it's not Kipchoge then.
No but seriously how long does it take to re-test samples properly, wouldn't they have taken action already if they had evidence of doping? Shouldn't leave it so late before the deadline?

No...because his faithful fan base and those who want to give him the benefit of the doubt will say he just got "times & locations" mixed up which doesn't mean he's was trying to intentionally avoid testing because he was glowing or something.
Posters such as rekrunner like to remind us that a ban for a whereabouts violation doesn't imply that an athlete was doping (I guess we're supposed give them the benefit of the doubt and just assume athletes are clueless on where they say they're supposed be at for testing...Lol).
So anything big on Coleman would be a positive doping test - that might be the only circumstances that wouldn't be second guessed by his loyal fanbase and posters like rekrunner.

New technology led to 80 positives. These things take substantial time and resources and August is quickly approaching.

He did it to himself.

'Whereabouts Failures" is a defined term by WADA.
I wouldn't second guess a ban based on Whereabouts Failures.
What's the rumor mill like on Almaz Ayana? Still finding that Rio WR suspicious.

It shouldn't. OP theorizes that the busts come from the London Olympics re-test which doesn't include Coleman.
We get these reports year after year and when do they really bear fruit? Lawyering up seems to shut up the IAAF and WADA, either that, or extortion of the Lamine and Papa Diack kind.
Doorbell Mo finally going down?

You’re probably right, but we can still hope!
