Anticipating Threat on Media

Attack on journalism due to Modi government is the manifestation of unlit future of media. Media is in danger, democracy is in danger. Our country is in danger, in the hands of PM Modi. Paid Media, yellow journalism is what's on the top of the trend. Journalists are constantly attacked and threatened if they put their opinion against Modi. 
There are no lack of evidences;

• Journalist Abhisar Sharma was given a forced leave from his organisation for displaying his opinions against the government.
• Prasun Bajpai's show "Master Stroke" showed a news coverage where a lady exposed she was constrained to speak highly of Modi for better reputation. His show was additionally not aired, it showed signal problems. We have idea who did it and why. There are insiders who are clearing this doubt. Indeed, Bajpai was forced to resign because he was verifiable.
• ABP Channel head, Aveek Sarkar's son asked a journalist to stop speaking ill (truth) against Modi and speak only what's written on the teleprompter. 

Is it democracy? Can we see how India is converging towards dictatorship. All due to one person who has POWER. That power was given by us, we can permit or sieze it. 
Don't get fooled by the paid media and corrupt governanace.

CHOOSE YOUR LEADER WISELY!

Doping case of Lance Armstrong

On 24 August, 2012, the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) announced that it had imposed on Lance Armstrong a sanction of lifetime ineligibility and disqualification of competitive results achieved since 1 August, 1998.

On 10 October, 2012, USADA sent their “Reasoned Decision” on the Lance Armstrong case to the Union Cycliste International (UCI), the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the World Triathlon Corporation (WTC), stating that the evidence shows beyond any doubt that the US Postal Service Pro Cycling Team “ran the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping programme that sport has ever seen”¹.

On 22 October, 2012, the UCI accepted the USADA findings and formally stripped Lance Armstrong of his seven Tour de France titles.

A BRIEF HISTORY

After competing in the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, Lance Armstrong became a professional cyclist. In 1996, he underwent surgery and chemotherapy to treat testicular cancer. Between 1999 and 2005, Armstrong won the Tour de France a record seven times. He retired from competitive cycling in 2005 but returned in 2009 before retiring for a second time 2 years later.

CHARGES AGAINST LANCE ARMSTRONG

Lance Armstrong claimed to have been one of the most frequently tested athletes in the world and that the results of his tests had never shown the presence of a prohibited drug. The presence of a prohibited substance is just one of the eight Anti-Doping Rule Violations, specified in the World Anti-Doping Code, for which athletes can be sanctioned.

THE EVIDENCE BASE FOR USADA’S DECISION

There were a number of strands to the evidence presented by USADA:

• Sworn statements from professional cyclists.
• Banking and accounting records.
• Email communications.
• Laboratory test results and expert analysis.

He received lifetime ban from the sport all the medals he won in Tour de France were taken away. He was also stripped off his Olympic medal.

The day he admitted his doping on the Oprah Winfrey show, he lost as much as $75million in a single day. The companies terminated the sponsorship contracts with him, including Nike.

Nike in an official statement declared that Lance Armstrong misled the company for than a decade.

He was also asked to pay the fine of 10 million pounds.

But money isn’t everything. What he lost was his respect and fame after the proving of his doping. He no longer remained the man who won the cycling competitions after winning a gruesome battle with cancer.

DOPING

What is doping?

Doping means athletes taking illegal substances to improve their performances.

There are five classes of banned drugs, the most common of which are stimulants and hormones. There is health risks involved in taking them and they are banned by sports' governing bodies

According to the UK Anti-Doping Agency, substances and methods are banned when they meet at least two of the three following criteria: they enhance performance, pose a threat to athlete health, or violate the spirit of sport.

Ashwini Akkunji

Ashwini Chidananda Shetty Akkunji (born 7 October 1987) is an Indian sprint athlete from Siddapura, Udupi who specializes in 400 metres.

Ashwini has won Gold Medals at the 2010 Commonwealth Games and the 2010 Asian Games in 4x400 m relay team event with Manjeet Kaur, Mandeep Kaur and Sini Jose and an individual gold medal in the 400 metres hurdles on 25 November 2010 at the 2010 Asian Games held at Guangzhou, in China.

She is also a recipient of the Rajyotsava Prashasti (2010), a civilian honour awarded by the Indian State Government of Karnataka

DOPING

In July 2011 prior to Asian athletics championships in Kobe (Japan) she tested positive for anabolic steroids. She was subsequently dropped from the athletics team for the event and was suspended from athletics. She denied the charges but on 23 December 2011 the NADA banned her for a year. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) upheld an appeal by the International Association of Athletics Federations against lighter sentences and handed Ashwini and 5 other athletes (Mandeep Kaur, Sini Jose, Jauna Murmu, Tiana Mary and Priyanka Panwar) a two-year ban.

Defense counsel RK ANAND said that Ogorodnik (their coach at National Sports Academy, PATALIA) had been with the team for many years and they had no reason to question his intentions. He, on behalf of athletes, pleaded "no fault or negligence" under article 10.1.2 of the WADA code and asked for exoneration of the athletes.

In its order, the panel (Athletic Federation of INDIA) however, suspended the athletes for the violation of rule 2.1.1 of the WADA code, which makes it clear that the athlete is responsible for any prohibited substance that enters his/ her body.

The athletes were also lucky to escape with a one- year ban as the panel applied article 10.5.2 as it ruled that the athletes have established that they bear "no significant fault or negligence" and hence the period of ineligibility was reduced to half the period of ineligibility otherwise applicable.

But all her hoped ended when her ‘B’ sample tested positive for anabolic steroids. She was India’s biggest hope in many years to finally win gold at Olympics in relay and sprinting category. As a result of the she not only lost her place in the 2012 London Olympics but also she lost all her fame she had gained in the past, with her amazing performance at Commonwealth Games and the Asian Games. She had become a household name but it was all lost because of the food she consumed, that had steroid. The ban lifted on 3rd July a month before the Olympics starts. However, she was unable to complete at the Olympics as the qualifying period for relay team got over on 2^nd July (just a day prior) while for the Individual events closed on 8th July. She couldn’t qualify for either of the categories. Athletics Federation of India had to come up with new names of athletes who were good enough to qualify for the Olympics

She had to wait for 4 years to complete in the Rio Olympics in 2016.
