OTHER NEWS
NEW YORK (USA):
Paula Radcliffe intends jetting off directly to Berlin for the World Championships if proving her fitness at the New York City Marathon on Sunday.
The world record holder is determined to attempt to regain her World Championsips marathon title with a solid preparationj outing in the Big Apple and then arrive in Germany as a strong contender for a second gold medal.(Edit note: Radcliffe won
the NYC half marathon and is heading to Berlin).

LONDON (GBR): Britain’s athletes want to be financially rewarded by the Government for any medals that they win at the London 2012 Olympics. The survey, which has been carried out by the British Athletes Commission (BAC) after every Olympics since the Barcelona Games in 1992, has discovered that 87 per cent of athletes think that if they make it to the podium at London than they should receive a cash bonus. Informs insidethegames.com.
LONDON (GBR) : The marathons at the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics will be organized by the team behind the world’s most successful, prestigious and richest road race in a deal that will save organisers £1 million. The London Marathon will provide personnel and equipment at no cost to 2012 officials to ensure that the 26.2 mile courses are the best designed in the world in terms of the route, athletes’ needs and in providing a visually stunning backdrop of the city. It has grown from an event where 6,255 finished the race in the first year to one in which nearly 35,000 annually compete.
BERLIN (GER): Sergey Bubka´s and Sebastian Coe’s chances of becoming President of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) in 2011 could be ended if Lamine Diack decides to stand again, even though he would be 78 by then. Coe, the chairman of London 2012, had been expected to stand if Diack kept his promise to step down when his current four-year term ended. The same view comes from Bubka, the multiple pole vault record holder. Diack’s departure was expected to spark an election involving Coe, Ukraine’s world pole vault record holder Sergey Bubka and possibly Nawal El Moutawakel, the 1984 Olympic 400 metres hurdles champion who is now a senior and influential member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Diack told insidethegames: “It’s possible [I will stay] if I’m in good shape. Many people are asking me to do that, depending on my health.”
KINGSTON (JAM): The five Jamaican athletes who submitted positive drug tests at their national championships in June will see their cases reviewed by an independent commission early next week. Yohan Blake, Marvin Anderson, Allodin Fothergill and Lansford Spence were all cleared by a disciplinary committee of Jamaica’s Anti-Doping Commission (JADCO), while Sheri-Ann Brooks had her case thrown out after a procedural error. A decision was expected to be announced in Berlin by the International Association of Athletics Federations after studying case papers passed to them by Jamaica’s Amateur Athletics Association. If the IAAF legal and anti-doping experts had disagreed with the findings of the disciplinary committee, the matter would have been sent to the Court for Arbitration in Sport for a final adjudication. A JAAA official confirmed this was the appropriate action to be taken, and said all five athletes will remain in their homeland until the independent commission announces its decision.
BERLIN (GER): Birmingham will be the base for Jamaican Team before London Olympics 2012.
