Coffee with Larry, Titus Ekiru gets 10 year ban, Paula Dunn as interim Technical director at British Athletics, Thomas Bach backers want to extend his tenure past 2025, but is it good for the Olympic movement?

This is Coffee with Larry for Thursday, October 19, 2023.

Our topics:

1. Titus Ekiru gets 10-year ban from Athletics Kenya and Athletics Integrity Unit.

2. Ten years, that means you have truly screwed up; probably a time for life evaluation.

3. Athletics Kenya and AIU are working on cleaning up a challenging and systematic program of cheating in Kenya.

4. Paula Dunn is the new interim Technical director for British Athletics.

5. She is considered a wonderful person and very adept at what she does.

6. Many consider Stephen Maguire’s departure, after the 10 medal haul by British Athletics, to be, well, ill-advised, or possibly worse.

7. Ten months out from Paris, British Athletics is an absolute mess.

8. Thomas Bach and his friends looking to write a constitution addition  to extend his IOC leadership.

9. Our thoughts: Sorry, Thomas, time for some new eyeballs!

10. Some Thoughts on Boston 2013.

11. Lots more!

See you tomorrow!
