Big story from France.

17 members of the Belarus canoeing team failed tests for Meldonium during a training camp in March and April.

When anti-doping agents raided them later they also found "heavier drugs".

Those 17 are all members of the current team, including Olympic champions of 2008 (who are apparently still active)?

How is he wrong?

He doesn't say anything about the prehistoric man being slower.

Instead of saying "OMG it's a Western conspiracy!!" as people like Vitaly Mutko and Yelena Isinbayeva love to say, why not come with actual arguments?

he tried to explain why the man of the past was slower than now, right?

i said "he is wrong"  i give this example of the prehistoric man

anyway the naturalization is cheating the doping is cheating  also the technolgy that they use while training .......maybe the uniform too

It's a fact that the times nowadays are faster! He explains some of the factors, which especially is a matter of technology (the running surface, knowledge about the ideal body types for different events and changing swimming pool just to mention a few).

He even makes a great comparison with Jesse Owens, who with modern surface and starting blocks would be second at the Worlds in 2013. And that's even without our knowledge about the best training, body types and so on. Thereby he exactly states that the difference between now and then more or less is about what we know now that we didn't know back then!

Is that cheating? No. It's completely natural that we use our knowledge. Even the poorest countries know more about the ideal athletes than the richest countries back in the first half of the 20th century..

Therefore we of course can't just look at the records to talk about who is the best ever. We have to remember the context.

Please watch the video before you complain about it.

 

But I still don't understand why you mention the prehistoric man. That's completely irrelevant.

    • I remember when I was a child and I was on holiday with my parents in Tunisia, I think in 1999? We were on a trip to the desert near the border with Algeria. The guide said something like that: Algeria is a few minutes from here but we won't go there because there is a war going on there and it's not safe.
    • Netanyahu is bad but unfortunately Hamas helps him maintain power. Every attack they make is a reinforcement of Netanyahu's rhetoric about the country's security, etc. In the fall of 2023, Netanyahu was already losing support and then suddenly a big Hamas attack on a festival near the Gaza Strip. Coincidence? It wouldn`t surprise me at all if Netanyahu knew about the plan for this attack but did nothing so that he would then have the tools to maintain his power. I also remember Ariel Sharon - he was probably even more radical than Netanyahu but he had a brain hemorrhage and fell into a coma.
    • Ah yes, post-colonial bickering never gets too old. Let me grab my popcorn!   Netanyahu is on a personal revenge mission to avenge his brother's death for his entire political life and people still act like they're surprised by his actions
    • MId-1962.  Almost all the Jews were driven out in a few days, even though they had been living there since Classical, pre-Muslim times.   Perhaps our friend could give us details of of any current Algerian plans to welcome them back, restore their property, guarantee their safety etc etc?    
    • In what year did Algeria free itself from French influence? 1960, exactly?
    • Or better, perhaps he'd like to tell us what happened to the 140,000 Jews who were living in Algeria in 1960, as against the 200 who live there now? 
    • There are still many people of Jewish origin in Central and Eastern Europe who have nothing to do with the state of Israel. What ties does Zelensky have to the state of Israel? Apart from he waś there as president of Ukraine and speaking in the Knesset? Nothing. In the power circles in Moscow there were/are many people of Jewish origin and what about that? A large part of the power apparatus of the USSR was based on Jews, especially in the years shortly after WWII.   Instead of constantly writing about Jews, would be better to tell me which country Algeria has better diplomatic relations with: Tunisia or Egypt?  
    • Handy guide for the perplexed.  
    • I`m a bit disappointed with the starts of the Italian team. I was counting on progress from last year. And here it looks like Bagnis is still very uneven. In Cortina there will be 3 competitions with medals to win and it would be a shame not to use our track to win 1-2 medals. The same goes for luge.
