The latest casualty on the athletic front has been Jolande Ceplak of Slovenia. The 1.55.19 800m runner has been suspended for 2 years due to the positive test of EPO

Unfortunately, this athlete has not been without suspicion in the past and therefore what has taken place comes as no surprise however after a week of the Tour de France debacle everything is now compounded.

The sad reality is that this very athlete, Ceplak, is representative on the Athletes Commission for both the IAAF and European Athletics. Whereas we do not want to have to accuse every athlete we do feel both bodies could have exercised more caution before granting this position to athletes.

A lesson worth learning.
