She seems genuine in her tears during an interview I just watched on Sky, but really, with all the question marks around British cycling it certainly leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

If she is looking for sympathy and understanding she may wish to release more details of her "family crisis" she keeps blaming for the missed test.

Christine Ohuruogu was banned for a year for the same thing despite never failing a test.

Sorry, couldn't help it.
No, I agree, if that had been an athlete from another country who had missed three tests and was a genuine hope for a medal people would be up in arms about our plucky British cyclist potentially being robbed of a medal. As a bloke (rower I think) on Five Live said, if you miss just one test you spend the next year sleeping by the front door so you don't miss the next one such are the consequences (or should be).

Haven't they conceded that on one of the tests, the examiners did not try hard enough to locate her?

A Greek athlete has just been kicked out of the Olympics for testing positive, didn't take long did it?

Great to hear about any political unrest and mineral wealth status of each country.
