by the way, I just discovered that Italy have 50m Free specialist Vergani on their roster (he's currently banned for cannabis until July 20th)...:yikes:

 

what a shame! he should have never been selected after he got caught for that...:facepalm::wall:

What's so bad about cannabis? It's not like it's EPO or steroids or something.

Same is true for the polish guy in the 50 free. Two known dopers allowed to compete in that event. I think swimming is the sport where it is the easiest to get away with doping (maybe except for weightlifting).

 

wait...

cannabis (and especially for sprinters, who need a flashy start) to me is not doping...and I wouldn't call "cheaters" those who get caught for that...

actually, taking cannabis befopre a sprint event makes you more damage than benefit...

 

the problem to me is that they are just drug addicted...and I hate drug dealers and drug addicted people...to me, they should all be sentenced to death, as they are a disaster for the entire society, even more than themselves and their family...:evil:

 

to me, it's a really different question, that goes well beyond sport and PEDs, it's a real cancer of modern society...:pope:

It's weird how they're only 2 swimmers per country. Is that a new rule change? Awful deal for the USA, Australia...

 

as far as I know, it's always been that way...

If I am not mistaken, max 2 per nation rule was introduced after the Japanese clean sweep at the 1932 Olympics.

Oh wow. I guess I assumed it would be the same as athletics. Thanks!

I must say I am very much on your page, I was convinced we've always had that incredibly annoying thing where 3 swimmers from nation X 'qualified' for semis but only 2 actually qualified because that was the maximum..

 

I guess that's only in European championships then?

yes, it's only a LEN thing...

and it only started quite recently, after some lobbying from the bigger Teams...

Ehh, Cannabis is like alcohol use. I’m not that offended by it.
