:FRA & :ITA have had these laws since the EPO era, but this is a first for :USA.

 

A Texas man faces up to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to supplying performance-enhancing drugs to Olympic athletes.

 

Eric Lira, 43, is the first defendant to be charged under a new US law introduced in the wake of Russia's state-backed Olympic doping scandals.

There was a French runner who claimed her positive test was the result of running through puddles of water near a factory that produced chemicals...

still, I haven't heard yet of all the people involved in the NOP being sentenced to jail (I mean, from Salazar to the Nike's CEO to all the athletes that trained in Eugene and surroundings)...:whistle:

And the news dropped that we were "waiting for"...

 

The big name Hungarian swimmer under doping suspicion is... Tamás Kenderesi. This is one of the reasons why he isn't at the Hungarian National Championships.

This isn't official yet, but it seems...

 

Olympic bronze medalist :HUN Tamás Kenderesi is suspended. He will appeal, this is far from over.

 

But I think it's safe to say that his career is over. He's now behind Richárd Márton in men's 200m butterfly, which means that he isn't in the HUN Top2 in his main event, and now he definitely won't be able to compete with the younger Hungarian swimmers.

:ITA:USA Nick Ponzio (men's Athletics, Shot Put) announced his retirement to avoid a long ban after missing 3 tests (2 in 2022 and 1 in 2023).

 

he always said it was a problem with the ADAMS and his iPhone, but he wasn't given any credit by WADA and by the Italian anti-doping authorities.

 

therefore he had to take this sudden and painful decision.

 

despite that, Today the fuckin' NADO decided to give him a 1-year ban (until April 2024).

Ponzio always seemed to me like he was  a nice guy but this looks like he was either a total cheat or, more likely, a complete lazy idiot.

Agreed. People that miss multiple tests should be regarded as dopers. We all know that there have been cases in the past were athletes retired (to dope without the risk of getting caught) and then came back better than before (just recently we witnessed the miracle of Meilutyte being thrash before retiring, just to come back stealing medals shortly after. Gatlin or Efimova would be other examples of athletes that came back stronger/as strong as before). I am glad that WADA didn’t trust him and I wish they would have banned him longer. Absolutely wouldn’t be shocked if he returns eventually.

      This season? It's a pity that we couldn't try fight for him, especially considering our problems in the sprints.

      Lara Malsinier and Alex Insam are junior World Championship medalists from a few years ago. Maybe it was possible to provide them with private teams then and now they could even fight for a single podium from time to time? I mean especially women because there, for example: Canada or France can be in the top, so why not us? Now Rodlauer from Austria has joined the Italian team but for now there is a huge gap to the top and only Sieff and Lara Malsinier are jumping well. There was success in the Summer Grand Prix but with a weak competition. Even 3rd place in a single competition in winter is worth more than winning the LGP with a terrible squad.   It remains to wait but I fear that the most we can count on is a dramatic fight with France and maybe Finland in the mixed competition at the World Championships. Bresadola probably won't return this season, so only the inconsistent Insam remains.

      And even here we lose to France? I really don't know what's the point of organizing the Olympics if you can't make progress in practically any sport. France has the Olympics in 2030 and there they will definitely prepare 100%, just like for Paris. We can't do that. It's obvious that in ski jumping we have no chance of winning medals, but decency dictates that we should at least win here with a France like that.

      Finally the ski jumping season begins 11 teams in the (real) mixed team competition, no Switzerland.

      Most of our athletes are constantly bothered by something: the pressure to qualify, the miss of pressure when they have already qualified, etc. It's the same in football: at the beginning of the season they are a poor form becouse of a little played and at the end of the season they are tired. They are always looking for excuses. A real champion always plays at a high level, like Sinner, and doesn`t look for 1000 excuses for his poor performance.

      Think it is mentally difficult for the two teams with the Olympic place guaranteed and the pressure off, whereas everyone else is absolutely playing at 110%.  I'm sure things will be better once they get to Milan.

      There's no point in cheating, these were terrible European Championships for us. Retronaz out of form, Constantini with a huge number of big mistakes. Only illness can excuse it... We've probably lost the last 10 matches with Switzerland... It looks like Constantini had the tournament of her life in mixed doubles in 2022 in Beijing and she will never reach this level again.
