Talk:List of doping cases in athletics

Great Britain
In most sporting events England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland compete as Great Britain in every competition with the exception of the Commonwealth games. I think we should replace the English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish flags with the british one.82.4.200.90 (talk) 23:53, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Dates
I wish there were some sort of date associated with each entry. Such as the date or at least the year the offense was realized. Angry bee (talk) 20:00, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

Notability
The hidden text at the top of the article says "please only add athletes who have, or would be worthy of, their own Wikipedia article". The big list, List of doping cases in sport, doesn't seem to have the same limitation. Both lists seems to include some athletes who doesn't meet Notability (sports).

Is there some general Wikipedia rule that says lists should only contain items worthy of their own article? If not, could all properly referenced doping cases in athletics be added to this list, and the hidden text about notability be removed?

Listing all cases will give a better picture of both doping and anti-doping. --46.212.53.155 (talk) 23:18, 11 November 2014 (UTC)


 * My experience when creating or adding to lists on wikipedia is that names on the list need to be notable or at least provably notable. For example, if someone held a world championship (however unlikely this scenario is--it has happened) but there is no article, sourcing that championship would make it clear the person is notable eligible.  If such an article is missing, I'd suggest starting it because it is a significant article if for no other reason than for the two facts (world champion and doping suspension).

Diane Modahl exonerated
Diane Modahl is listed but there was no mention that she was fully exonerated due to failures at the laboratory where her urine sample was stored. I added a note to this effect but noticed there are no other examples in this table of sanctioned athletes later being cleared - surely there must be more?--Pawnkingthree (talk) 15:40, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
