Doping Cases and Bans 2020 Thread


Recommended Posts

Since it's not Russia, the so-called Western World will do everything to cover up that something was iffy about London 2012. We all know IOC won't open the LA 1984 Games can of worms especially when it comes to Carl Lewis who admitted to using doping on record ca. 20 years ago already. UK would probably like everyone to forget about Wiggins and Froome but cycling is Top 3 of the dirtiest sports in the world where even the TUE excuse looks suspicious. However I'm still waiitng on the Mo Farah/NOP deal. That threat is still real even though British Athletics has fired just about everyone in charge of the federation at the time. Let's see if that works!

But of course, Lord Coe was never aware of that :lol::lol::lol:

 

Time to start thinking about finding other suspects besides the tainted Russian sports program.

Absolutely, investigate everything that's not done on skates, immediately! :old:

I'm convinced every summer olympics' top 10 medaling nation (+Norway for WOG) has similar secret programs. 

Norway made sure the symbicort doping is legal. That can't be undone. The spanking they took at the 2009 World Champs in Liberec made the beast angry! :wacko:

What's best, even when symbicort was legalized at a certain dose, Norway still needs TUE to use the over-legal dose... I do know how does about 10% of a dose legal (non-TUE) before legalizing symbicort (another medicine, but quite similar) works. If they do need TUE, they should have rather lungs transplanted than Olympic-level training.

    • Those are the national junior championships, national championships are in Steinkjer, starting tomorrow: FIS | Steinkjer (NOR) - Event Details - Cross-Country
    • Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
    • If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?
    • I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups. 
    • If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great
    • Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.
