You have some mystery inside info?  

 

Monday it's the day of the CAS decision over the wada executive committee recommendation to ban Russia for 4 year from every sport activity...

 

I hope they won't be so stupid, but there's a high risk they'll take really tough decisions against the Russians (according to some rumors, the full exclusion from the Tokyo Games is almost certain)...

So much for your theory that the big bad West isn't actually worse than Russia. Told ya, they will throw the Russians out and your Bolshunov cheering will go down the drain

Some stars decided not to race today in relays...no Klaebo, no Bolshunov, no Sundby, no Niskanen. My bad, Niskanen is in.

Interesting to ser how the Swedish team for women can performance without 75% of the World champion team from Last season

Russia, as a nation in international competitions i presume? Because i can't grasp the possibility of CAS banning a bulgarian football club, for instance, of having russian players in the team.

4 years from every sport activity, such draconian and stupid punishment. 

 

Anyway, men's relay looking much more exciting than women's, just like in individual races...

Wow, impressive victory from Russia II, but then again, they did have Ustiugov as an anchor. Today he was brilliant.

 

 

 

 

And sigh...

 

 

Finland!
