Harting, "Cancel my IAAF World Athlete Nomination."

Quote from Throwholics News

Everyone knows that Robert Harting, who is currently the Olympic, World and European Champion, always makes sure one understands his opinion. He does not keep anything to himself and asks others to do the same. In the past he openly “attacked” officials in order to underline his statements. As a follower of the Track & […]

Thats some spicey news! I kinda love harting for that. He's doing such a great job for the sport. I wish other athletes would follow.
Don't you think?

Sure, big applause for Harting!!!

Mhh Why did Robert not mention the others? Such as Perkovic?

Perkovic was banned only for 6 months and did not get a full sentence of 2 (in case of Gatlin 4 years)...

And why's that? Do you know more about that?

This thread is about the fact that Harting stands up for the "clean" athletes and not about Sandra Perkovic.
There must be a reason he didnt mention her.

And btw. i think its great and shows Hartings character...

Nice discussion is going about that article... I first saw it on Twitter and I was amazed about the responses of all the followers... crazy shitstorm has been started in the T&F discussion board... some users are connecting Harting with the doping era of east Germany...
I cannot understand why someone would do such comparison... Even though im american I dont think Harting could be made responsible for the era of east Germany....

Are you sure about that??? How does one know if Harting is even clean... Sure all his tests are negative... but who knows truely?

ok yure right....

Finally someone is willing to stand-up and stick it to the IAAF. I would assume Harting is too popular to be blackballed from the Diamond League series. One worry is that the old coots at the IAAF and IOC have long memories.

We can say that about anyone.

I wish the Frenchman would mirror Harting here.

Some people are argueing that Harting did that only because he was not even near to wi he AOY award and so he couldn't lose anything.

Any thoughts?
