    Puerto Rico

    Hi, there was allegations of doping in the team and one player is noted in our doping article our article cites a Miguel Coll, drug was ephedrine. I realize we could use stronger reports but . .What about ...

    Simonovic's writings may be a reliable source for details about him; but not for defamatory statements about other people. And I do not think that the "International Council for Friendship and Solidarity with Soviet People" would be considered a reliable source either. RolandR (talk) 12:49, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
    Yes, there are only 25 links from wikipedia to that site. The first citation the google translation in the introduction it is the interviewr talking - Forty years ago was one of the best players of the world But, when faced with the attitude of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) that the team drugged athletes remain in the contest, left the Games in Munich (1972) and changed his mind about the leaders of the sporting events. - this is the reporter commenting and not the subject - as you can see, a perto rica basketball player was convicted of doping in that completion. I will have a look later for some more cites but my desired addition above seems to be a pretty simple indisputable cited comment. What do you dispute or find defamatory? Off2riorob (talk) 12:57, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
    In the absence of any verifiable citation, I would consider such an assertion defamatory and unacceptable at any time. If the only citation we have is in Serbian, then a translation should be included in the footnote. The IP claims that two Puerto Ricans were using drugs; you (and our related article) only mention one. The passage is also overlong and poorly written, but that could be fixed if the verifiability issue was sorted out. RolandR (talk) 13:08, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
    And I don't accept the "International Council for Friendship and Solidarity with Soviet People" as a reliable source for Olympic corruption and ignoring drug use, when there is apparently no other mention of this anywhere. RolandR (talk) 13:10, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
    A Puerto rica basketball player was caught doping in the games, at least it is in our article, I will look at where that information comes from .. here is the doping conviction in a reliable cite ...http://www.olympic.qa - Quatar, sport for life - The following list includes athletes who have tested positive during the summer Olympic Games. The list only includes athletes who have been punished by the IOC. - 1972 - Miguel Coll - Pur - Basketball - ephedrine -
    ...clearly the details are totally correct, there was an appeal from the yugo team to be awarded the match and it was rejected , swept under the carpet I imagine in 1972 so that is likely why cited reports are hard to come by...and he left the team and never played again - it seems he has been writing about sport and corruption ever since. I will look around for some more reports. Off2riorob (talk) 14:38, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

    DYK for Nurit Kedar

    Updated DYK queryOn 2 February 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Nurit Kedar, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Israeli film-maker Nurit Kedar received death threats after extracts from her film Concrete were screened on Britain's Channel 4 television? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
