Huge news if this is true. Not sure if it’s been confirmed yet:

Today is the first day of trail for doping in weightlifting and cycling. This is the biggest doping case in Lithuanian history.

On a bench:

  • Bronislovas Vyšniauskas - head of Lithuanian weightlifting federation, national coach. During the raid police found more than 1000+ items with doping substances
  • Ramūnas Vyšniauskas - son of Bronislovas, Olympic weightlifter, previously suspended twice due doping violations. During the raid police found illegal psychotropic drugs.
  • Antanas Jakimavičius - cycling coach, during the raid police found doping substances.

 

All 3 facing possibility not only to loose their jobs (obviously) and get penalties, but also spend 4 years in prison.

Very glad to hear that, although it took way too long, i already called her out in 2015, but at that time i got a lot of hate for it.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Very good to hear, especially because it should shut up all those people who never can imagine that even in a country like Jamaice underage athletes are doping. Of course this also doesn't make Ato Bolden more trustable.

And yet, we will not see a sanction to US Track & Field... IAAF's double standards, covering English world athletes. I wouldn't be surprised that a few years from now the likes of Bolt & Farah are uncovered as cheaters.

I have said it for a decade that Bolt is dirty and they protected him for money and success it brought to the sport. One day things will come clean.

    • 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.
