Hassan reacted by saying she is 'very shocked' :rofl: 

 

"I'm clean because I'm often tested" etc etc, Kloserhalfen (who's management answered instead of herself) seems to have the same cliche reaction.

 

To be fair, she has one day left to her only race and for that situations you have a management. What should Klosterhalfen say about Salazar who is not even her coach and not even the media know every detail about the decision? For the record, it is absolutely right that Salazar was finally pulled out the game if the accusations are true.

I know they get asked questions so they'll have to answer something, but generally it's just better to say nothing in a situation like this...I mean, like Hassan's comment: "I'm shocked! Never expected this!" Come on, all the world expected this for years.

Absolutely agree on the expectations and Hassan's comment. Better to say nothing? Don't know, maybe the media won't leave you alone until you made your (stupid) comment.

The ban came yesterday but the facts have been known for years. Details of the decisions are available to everyone, if the media don't know them they're doing a bad job. Hard to believe that top professional athletes don't know that the head coach (plus the doctor and the sponsor) of their "private team" have been involved during the years in several anti-doping rules violations, experimenting with testosterone and other shady stuff...if the IAAF were consistent, they'd consider Hassan, Klosterhalfen, Brazier and the others guilty until proven innocent like they did with the Russians.

Where is this from? What does it mean? I’m a bit confused here.

    • 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.
