Sarra Errani has failed a drug test for a stimulant

 

(because that here that we should talk about it)

Because her mom uses a breast cancer medicin, which accidentally fell in the tortellini she was making on one of the rare days in which Errani ate her parents' house, right before Errani got a doping test. 

 

Taking doping excuses to a new level right there. 

 

Also, a two months suspension, because tennis.

Oh, oh, that one could be fun :

 

Djokovic serving a silent ban ? (french)

 

That is not comming from a random blog btw, but from the major sports network in Québec.The journalist states that she heard from multiples sources that the reason why Djokovic ended its season is because he is serving the infamous so called 'silent ban'.

Rds is Canadian... get it correct.

Wow, just wow... the incredible capacity of ridicule defense hypothesis just grows bigger.

Life ban as a participant, and as a coach, and as a director, and as a journalist,etc.

The problem is that to ban someone for life, you really need to have a very big deal of certainty that someone did indeed willingly take doping and cheat.

Well, of course I meant life ban, only after giving the accused the chance to validly defend themselves, with prosecutors following every single legal and technical aspect of the process. It was a shame what happened to our best fencer last year, with our own federation excluding her from Rio because of a false and dubious positive.

    • Let's not act as if these things never happen before. Serbia's cross-country skiing drama a week before the Olympic qualifying for Beijing ended: FIS | Cross-Country Results - Zlatibor (SRB) 2021/2022   Drndic with a DNF, despite being - on paper at least - the best athlete. She didn't just 'not finish', she stepped out barely 50 meters before the finish, because if finishing, the points for her competitor would have been better due to the way points are calculated. Ended up with lots and lots of yelling and screaming and fighting and cursing, DNS the next day and in the end Serbia sent none of them.   This is not a shit move by Canada, this is a fault of the system at most.
    • Yes agreed, resetting it would help make it more dramatic as no one would be running away with it. We could also set it that there is a small reward for ranking higher after each round… maybe they start the next round with a “head start” so they bring a few points into the next round? But starting from scratch each round might be cleaner  
    • I like the concept a lot. My only worry would be that the nations doing the best individually would also end up at the top here as teams are only made up of pairs. Whereas in a bigger team it gives the nations not doing so well individually to have another chance if they are lucky enough to be placed in a good team. Any way we can balance it?
    • I thought about accumulating, but for higher drama it may be reset like in cycling track elimination races 
    • Those are the national junior championships, national championships are in Steinkjer, starting tomorrow: FIS | Steinkjer (NOR) - Event Details - Cross-Country
    • Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
