webfact Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Thailand’s Amateur Weight-lifting Association committee quits over doping scandal The executive committee of the Amateur Weight-lifting Association of Thailand has resigned en masse ”to show responsibility” after a former Thai Olympic bronze medallist told German TV that Thai weight-lifters have been using banned substances since they were young. German ARD television broadcast a documentary, about corruption in the world’s weight lifting community and the widespread use of banned substances on January 5th, in which Ms. Siriput Kulanoi, a former Thai weight-lifter who won a bronze medal in the 2012 Olympic Games, told the German interviewer, without knowing that her conversation was being secretly recorded, that she, as well as other Thai weight-lifters, had used banned substances since she was 13. The documentary was also shown to the International Olympic Committee. In a statement issued today, Mrs. Busaba Yodbangtoei, the chairwoman of the Amateur World Lifting Association of Thailand, said that Ms. Siriput gave the interview without knowing that her interviewer was a German media representative and thought he was just a potential customer interested in applying for membership of her fitness club.

Popular Post bangkokfrog Posted January 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) Is anyone surprised by this? And the only defense provided by the chairwoman was that the stupid weight-lifter who spilled the beans didn't think she was talking to a reporter! In other words: "We don't regret that cheating happened on our watch, only that we got caught out!"

DLock Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 This is not unique to Thailand or weightlifting. In this day and age of professional sports and money, the most important person on the team is the "Doctor". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
