So you hold a press conference to say nothing because the only pertinent document- if there ever was one- just isn’t there.
Aris fumbled around, ducking and dodging press questions by talking about when he was a coach in 1972. (Say what??)
1: If the Cathy Rattray doc was sent out to the athletes (July 27th??), it should be easy to produce a copy with the e-mail address of ONE SINGLE ATHLETE which could be verified.
Aris held a press conference but didn’t produce what he says was done. What does that say about his credibility?
2: There IS proof the Franno’s camp worked for the MVP medallists. There is NO PROOF that the results could have been duplicated at the JAAA camp. In fact, there is every likelihood that the results would have been worse.
3: Aris trotted out a whereabouts document to cast doping aspersions on MVP, once again ducking the fact that only JAA athletes have tested positive-- so far.
Already, Nick Davies of the IAAF has released a statement, putting a lie to this, and making it clear that the whereabouts of the MVP athletes was in the IAAF’s possession at all times this year.
Aris has tried again, no doubt to try to deflect attention from the doping hearings there, and I guess the IAAF will now have to re-release its statement.
