Hauke's Instagram profile is private. I wonder if that was changed yesterday?

 

Meanwhile on Tammjarv's Instagram...

 

What

Rumor has it that at the end of the video he started taking off Johaug's lipstick with his hand.

At least this way Hauke goes to prison in top shape.

By the way, Kalla today  

The Queen of relays! Just never had a team good as this before (not even when they won the relay in Sochi)

I do get wada, fis, everything else sports related to ban, fine or suspend athletes, but what is actually illegal about doping? I mean, in the sense where the police is involved, and one is arrested and have charges brought upon them? Are they using illegal drugs, or one just can't get homemade blood transfusion...?

Because basically it's fraud. You're 'stealing' results (and so, money) from other athletes. Some Wall Street broker engaging in fraud doesn't necessarily physically hurt someone, he does make money by screwing the whole thing.

In Italy there's a specific law about doping crime, with many profiles of illegality...

the main one for the athletes is of course the fraud they put on when they false the results of sports competitions by alterating their performance through illegal drugs, but there are a few others...

they could be charged with misdemeanor of unauthorized/uncertified playing of the role of the medical profession if they get caught for auto-emotransfusion or helping someone else doing that...

p.s. in Italy even the use of the Hypo-Baric Room is forbidden by law (meanwhile for WADA and IOC it's perfectly legal)...

then there are the points about coaches and doctors, who normally are charged with things like abuse of their role and professional tasks and/or injection of unauthorized/uncertified/not required medicines/theraphy and many others...

not to mention all the crimes related to the financial aspects of this thing (because normally you don't pay regular taxes and because of the way you get those medicines, as many of them are not freely available on the market here -they're just for medical use and available only at the hospital most of the times)...

Here we go.

 

Please, let it be with the winner with less than five seconds advantage.

[Kirkpatrick 144]

Aaaaand we have three of them. Finland, Norway and Russia. Halfvarsson is dropping now...two more kilometers to second exchange.

 

Bolshunov v Roethe now, with Ustiugov v Klaebo in last part.

Sweden made 23 seconds in 1.2km. Because of course.

[Kirkpatrick 144]

Top three are going easy, France took 20 some seconds as well.
