Talk:John Coates (sports administrator)

Name
I see this has already gone from John D. Coates > John Coates (official) > John Dowling Coates.

The current name does disambiguate him to an extent, but for the vast majority of people who know him by reputation, they would be no more aware that his middle name is Dowling than mine is. Hence, it's not immediately apparent that this is the right John Coates they're looking for.

I'd prefer to see it as John Coates (Olympic administrator) or John Coates (sports official), or something like that. -- JackofOz (talk) 18:18, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Russia doping again/still
"...fair to all athletes not to be awarded til Russia Skate gate is resolved" 1) certainly not fair to skaters that did not dope 2) Russia again...really? 3) an athlete dopes knowingly or unknowingly...period. it is still agaist the rules

Shame on what appears to be a spineless organization...former athlete from Texas 2601:2C7:67E:18B0:9DFE:B823:39A4:25EC (talk) 17:04, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
