The Spanish police made six arrests during an investigation into the use and sale of doping products that revolved around the elite team and under 23 Kuota - Construcciones Paulino. cz

Meanwhile Tom Dumoulin is being an ass and throwing Georg Preidler under the bus, now that it looks more and more like Preidler was not only doped in 2018, but also during his Sunweb time in 2017, including in the Giro in which he helped Dumoulin to victory.

At least take the time to bring out a statement that at the very least looks like it's finished, instead of having a photo (not even a screenshot) of your Word document with the spelling check still on :dunno: :p

oooooh scandal and bombs

 

Rafaela Silva of Brazil, reigning Olympic judo champion (and hero of the 'from favela to Olympic gold' stories around her gold medal) has tested positive.

Rafaela Silva blames a 7-month old baby who she let 'suck' her nose as some form of playing. Baby uses asthma medication and this way Silva apparently (thinks she) inhaled it.

 

French cyclist Marion Sicot meanwhile tested positive for EPO and blames her period for the EPO levels in her blood (without really pointing to any study or something).

I am genuinely curious whether or not there are studies on the EPO levels in women during their menstrual cycle, because if that would indeed turn out to be Sicot's cause for the positive test, that would be absolutely huge.

Presumably the baby can not defend his/herself from these wild allegations. How very convenient. :p

    • Just now getting around to these results...glad to see USA win a gold.  Didn't think we were much of a contender here.  Home soil luck?
    • Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall. 
    • Finally got around to updating post 2 with results from last weekend...that's a lot of German and Austrian flags!
