Heartbreaking story I can't imagine how she must have felt given how much she LOVED this sport. Despite it's harsh unforgiving treatment & with the media & overseas commentators & athlete's branding her a cheat she STILL trained hard everyday & served out her unfair ban. She went to the World Championship that year (2003) qualified for the 400m final still carrying that label & suffering the scorn of the crowds & was being written off by the British press. She ran one of the most exciting & hardest races in WC history to win the World title & gold medal. The British press hailed her a "star" & instead of reminding them about trashing her reputation Christine Ohuruogu stayed respectful & showed her GREATEST attributes... Humility, Strength & Courage She is an AWESOME athlete & a truly INSPIRATIONAL human being 👏👏👏

Ultimately proved innocent when taking the tests!!!!! The press get over excited oftentimes

Quite frankly the silliest thing I've ever heard about athletics. Can't believe that you label someone a drugs cheat for missing a test. That's like saying someones bad at driving because they missed their practical exam. There literally isn't any data to assess their abilities with because they didn't SIT the exam in the first place.

[@FlabbyTitmuss]

She missed three drugs tests in the space of a year. Don't you find that at all suspicious? And your driving analogy is bonkers...if someone doesn't sit their practical exam, they don't get a license.

@@FlabbyTitmuss That is so stupid. Why would that be suspicious? That's like saying if you're late to work more than 3 times in a year you must be burying a dead body. Dont be so ridiculous. There are many reasons people miss tests. My Uncle was a former professional weightlifter and missed 2 tests. He almost missed his 3rd one had it not been for a last minute change of plans. Some people just aren't as organised or don't have good time management.

@@phoenixforce6595 So we should just let professional athletes miss an unlimited number of drug tests? What would be your limit?

[@phoenixforce6595]

@@FlabbyTitmuss its not about casting people out because of an arbitrary number. Look at each case and the circumstances, do your research thoroughly before you slander someone online. Its stuff like that sends people into manic depression. The whereabouts testing system was completely new in 2005 and very much in its infancy. it was alot harder to communicate your plans 3 months ahead of schedule back then and if there was change, everything was faxed. Christine was always avaliable and locatable she just wasn't in her preferred destination she allocated to the testers 3 months in advance for that 1 hour of the day. Her testing location i believe was her athletics club, one of the missed tests was because she relocated to another sports venue as the local school were doing a sports day there and I think the other was a time she was in medical for her archilies. The circumstances were well documented by the Guardian. If you knew who her coach Lloyd Cowan was and what he did for the sport and how well respected he is among his coach peers you'd know there is absolutely no way that Christine was doping. R.I.P L. Cowan. Plus Judy Murray would not be sitting opposite Christine if she was a doper. As Judy said herself she knows how incredibly easy it is to miss a test. And 2005 was still a pilot, attitudes were not what they are now. I think it was as many as 60% of Team GB had missed one test and 35% had missed two. Look it up online

@@FlabbyTitmuss no. No. The answer is no. "They don't get a license" yeah... they don't get called a BAD DRIVER, do they?? To be labelled A CHEAT as opposed to missing it is not the same. You're ridiculous.
