In the end, almost all sports are partly decided by that. Take football: sure, tactics and styles are important, but use doping and you'll be able to keep running longer and longer and more importantly, you'll be able to use your supreme techniques longer. I've seen plenty of matches with teams like Barcelona, Valencia or Juventus where they just kept going and going and going as if they'd never be tired...honestly I think football has the most doping of every sport, simply because it's by far the most "financial sport" and the interests are so incredibly huge there. 

 

No way FIFA will ever implement a decent anti-doping regulation and they will never get anywhere near IAAF, UCI, FINA (they might not be good, or even be bad, but at least they test). 

 

I think there's a lot of truth in what you say, and it is probably like you say but... still, 0 footballers tested positive in Beijing and London. In fact, 0 team sport athletes tested positive in both games.

 

Doesn't mean of course that they don't dope in the 3 years and 11 months in middle, but give me that and not the joke we see in weightlifting.

Meanwhile the head doctor of the Dutch Olympic team is a guy who thought that the famous doping doctors Conconi and Ferrari were a good idea to follow and who has worked with a whole lot of shady figures :facepalm:

 

At least it looks like the shadowy part of the Dutch sports is finally catching up with the other countries as well :d

The César Cielo case alone should be enough to put FINA on the joke tier alongside FIFA and ATP/WTA

I know they're bad, but I still think they're better and more serious than FIFA :p 

 

As you said ealier :

I guess in football they have a lot more money and expertise to develop stuff that can't be detected

 

That's really the only difference betwwen the two sports. I suppose that FINA would love that top end swimmers had access to the same kind of high tech - undetectable  - drugs. Then , they could simply pretend to fight againtst doping by catching some random mid tier swimmers once every blue moon.

Three samples of Azeri weightlifters from the London games tested positive for banned substances during the recent retesting reports http://hurriyyet.az./6119-avropa-ve-dunya-chempionunu-azerbaycandan-qovurlar-novbeti-qurban-ozel.html. It is rumored that the three offenders are Boyanka Kostova, Valentin Hristov (already with a life ban) and Ilhan Zairov. Moreover, one more lifter tested positive from the Beijing samples retesting,

They deserve everything that will come. Traitors....

Be very worried that two of the Russians have come back negative on the B sample of their retests.

If it happens to two samples it might be happen to many more

    • Italy will boycott the Azeri stage for protest against the international federation.
    • Likely for Tannheimer, quite unlikely for Galmace Paulin. She's far from being assured to even start in the WC before turning 20. Basically she'd have to get a spot this season, which could actually happen if she takes the extra-ticket at the JWCH. Anyway I don't see her making her way to gold in Oslo. Tänglander has a few seasons to do it, we'll see.       Quite surprisingly so, indeed. Barring her horrendous finish Richard would have made it 2 in one go. We should have some more names in the list in 2025.
    • There are some of Slovakia's finest young squads at the World Juniors in recent years
    • Alpine skiing also we have a lot of problems: the men's team is very weak and has been winning a few podiums a season for several years and the our best skier- Dominik Paris is 35. We still have a strong women's team but 3 of the 4 leaders are over 30 (Goggia, Brignone, Curtoni) and Bassino is 28. Another 2 years and we will have the same problem as the men's. There is basically no cross-country skiing without Pellegrino for many years, biathlon is based on 2 individuals with one of them has a 35 years. Vittozzi's injury was enough and we haven`t a single podium this season after 3 stages of the World Cup. As for 1 year to the home games the situation isn`t optimistic.
    • Hail to the Reds... Commanders. First time since 1991 Washington QB has thrown 5 TD passes in a game (which isn't all that improbable in the modern game alas Dan Snyder...)    
    • Italy is much better in alpine skiing, in The end all Nations have a Limited Talent Pool. Norway is far better than Sweden/Finland in Cross-Country skiing, alpine skiing and Biathlon, but Sweden/Finland are far better in ice Hockey.  Great Britain wins far more medals than Germany At Summer olympics, but GB is also inexistant in Winter Sports and Most popular Team Sports (Volleyball, Handball, Basketball, Ich Hockey).  
    • Thanks, great stat! Tannheimer wont turn 20 until August 2025, so she has The whole Season To Join Kristiansen and Neuner. Too Bad that she was ill this week. I think Galmace Paulin and Tänglander could also do it. I think Grotian (born 2004) is The First female Biathlete born after 1999 To make a World Cup Podium. On The Mens side multiple Athletes (Perrot, Giacomel, Uldal) have already done it.   E. Öberg was 22 and a half when she First won.  Dahlmeier was 21 and a half.   Edit: Grotian only narrowly missed The Podium in The Individual at The 2024 World Championships when she was still  19 year old.
