Doping Cases and Bans Thread (2016 & 2017)

[heywoodu 15,195]

2008 Olympic open water swimming champion Maarten vd Weijden in a big doping discussion with Sebastiaan Verschuren (ex-swimer) and a journalist:

 

 

 

"It's not used systematically in swimming (doping), otherwise Dutch swimmers would not have won 3 of the 6 Olympic gold medals in the longest distances."

 

Duuuuuuuuude. If there's one thing I hate so much, it's the often used argument: "We as Dutch are doing good, so this sport is clean", that's the most stupid argument ever 

 

One for you Maarten.

A little late, but I didn't realize Baseball had so many cases.

I don't trust these statistics to be real.

To be honest. It's more than the MPCC is deliberately underestimating cycling cases to make other sports look bad

 Samuel Sanchez (road cycling) tests positive in out-off competition control for growh hormone GHRP-2. It's the same substance of Pirazzi and Ruffoni, the two doped at the the Giro

I really don't think they do. Previous figures had cycling much higher.

 

Obisously, I'm wrting that after Gianlu33 post

For some reason I thought Sanchez retired a long time ago.
