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

By the way, Kalla today :bowdown: 

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)...

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.

Look at him go! :cheer:

 

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

    • More highlights   21.89 WL for  Gabby Thomas in the women's 200m at the Kip Keino Classic,  Cambrea Sturgis not far behind in a huge PB of 21.96    Rumesh Tharanga Pathirage continues his strong stretch of form with a 89.28m effort in men's javelin throw, just off his NR of 89.37m  Sinesipho Dambile with a PB of 19.77 in the men's 200m   10.03 PB for 18 year old  Gary Card in the men's 100m at the Penn Relays
    • Does the CAS have the authority to address from someone who believes the judges made a mistake in a given discipline? Pizzolato's last attempt at Paris 2024, which earned him the bronze medal, was controversial, but what does the CAS have to do with it? Even if the judges made a mistake then, the result won't change and this isn't the only case where someone feels wronged with this in world of sports. Unless, of course, they have some evidence of corruption or something like that
    • If Pizzolato will to return, would it be to the 86 kg category, or the 94 kg category, like Nasar? In 2024, they were both in the 89 kg category, which will no longer be at the Olympics, but in 2021 in Tokyo, Pizzolato won a medal in the 81 kg category.   Of course, it's unclear what's going on with the rape accusations- personally, unfortunately, I don't think he was ever a sweet angel- he was accused of other immoral things also 10 years ago, but gang rape? I find that hard to believe... Besides, Moldova has appealed about his bronze medal from Paris 2024 to the CAS- the verdict was supposed to be in February. Do you know anything about this? Did they have any grounds for this lawsuit at all?
    • Ukraine won 6 gold medals out of 10 in the women's competotion  + 1 silver and 1 bronze. Where do they get these girls from? It's always been a strong country, but they have never dominated like this. I wonder if their training methods would work in another country and if their coaches have any offerts to job from other countries? However, there is a significant decline in women's judo in Ukraine, so maybe they have directed all their resources and money towards wrestling?   In fact, Ukraine dominates Europe as much as Japan does the world- they have the best school in women's wrestling. In 2024, Ukraine only won 1 silver medal at the Paris Olympics? So even domination in Europe doesn't guarantee even 1 gold medal at the Olympics. Although, of course, if Italy for example, can't even win 1 bronze medal at the European Championships, then there's no point in even going to the World Championships...
    • Sablikova started on the road cycling and just almost qualified for Rio 2016. Maybe Lollobrigida would like to join the Italian track team? She has the good character and 2 medals at the Olympics, one in winter and one in summer, would be a legendary achievement, not only in Italy.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martina_Sáblíková
    • One Wiebes is worth more than the all Italian team with Balsamo/Fidanza, etc., that much clear. Even if the Netherlands loses its dominance in the men's sprint, Wiebes will win 2-3 gold medals in other events. Just relax, man.
    • I'm most worried about our women's team in the pursuit – we have a reserve squad, but not advancing to the top 8 is a shame. We recently competed with out 1 team and had not good in 1 round. It doesn't look good. And the Netherlands are already taking Wiebes to the track team and will soon dominate the Madison/Omnium as well. Balsamo and Paternoster haven't made any progress for years and the our women's team at the Olympics has little chance to win a medal. Italy might even win World Championship/European Championship gold in the years after the Olympics, etc., but when the real fight comes, the UK or the USA will always beat us
    • Track cycling is one of the few sports where there is no host nation quota, so  will need to work hard to achieve our quotas.  It's not our best sport, but was happy to see Top 10 results in the Elimination Race for Grant Koontz and Emma Jimenez Palos (who is just 18!).
    • Yes, I saw the same thing you did @clemsonbeav (on both accounts) but I agree it looks pretty stock.
