I think it's a national winter sport criteria back in Norway (for cc-skiing and biathlon), or so I've heard rumours

By that I mean that nearly all of them claim they suffer from it.

 

42 out of 61 Norwegian cross-country skiing medals since 1992 were taken by users of asthma medication (or at least who have spoken openly about it).

But the problem is mainly that they've been using it preventive (at least officially) meaning that also healthy skiers have been doing so. That's what's truly worrying (I don't remember if they stopped this after the Sundby case) and kind of suspicious.

It's a quite well known fact that more elite athletes have asthma than normal people.

we never saw them having one crisis during the races

when you do much effort you will have crisis even if you take your drugs

 

so they haven't asthma , they just falsified these medical documents wich will help them to use the Salbutamol/steroid/theophylline ...the cheaters

so Justin Gatlin was positive

 

they did one trap with the coach pushing him to reveal the truth

Albert Demtschenko and Tatyana Ivanova have been found guilty of doping and disqualified. This means Russia will lose it’s men’s singles and team relay silvers.

 

Vancouver 2010 medalists Nikita Kryukov and Ivan Skobrev have also been found guilty of doping (but will not lose their 2010 medals).

Ya. I was hoping he wasn’t involved in all this.

 

I guess the silver lining for me is that Canada is going to get it’s first luge medal, though under the worst of circumstances.

American athletes have doped at the Olympics, too. Why did only Russia get banned?

We have a big difference between individual doping and state doping  Almost all countries, including Algeria and Italy, had almost 1 doped athlete in their history but only few states sponsorized a doping program for their atheltes (like URSS, Eastern Germany and maybe Russia)

i found this news

"EPO testing requires a blood sample and South Africa does not have the facilities to accurately test for the drug." Now, where have certain members of Team Sky been doing their training camps?
