Peter Bol made his comeback in Budapest after having his career derailed by a doping debacle, but he failed to qualify for the 800m semis. In small consolation, doping authorities admitted his case had been a disaster.
On the night Peter Bol returned to the track at the world championships and was run out in his 800-metre heat, the world doping police admitted the drug debacle that derailed his career, and his preparation for this event, was “a disaster”.
He also refused all interviews in the lead-up to the world championships, relying only on social media to make a brief comment, saying he was pleased to be exonerated by a review of his initial doping ban. Peter Bol finished fourth in his 800m heat, but the result wasn’t good enough to get him into a semi-final.AA chief executive Peter Bromley had spoken scathingly of the handling of the Bol case after a review found the runner should never have been provisionally banned in the first instance. However, Bol has not been mollified by the comments and remains angry with the national body.
“What we have to do is ensure that WADA does its work in reviewing the whole process as they said they would, and I think the minister in Australia has asked them to do that. We are waiting on that review, we will partake in it if we’re asked.”Clothier told this masthead the Bol case was an outlier to their other EPO cases, and it was important to examine in detail what happened and how it went so wrong.
Meanwhile, Deng – Bol’s long-time friend and former Melbourne housemate who is rooming with Bol in Budapest – was thrilled with his nerveless performance in his major championship debut.
