As you already know 150 biathletes signed the petition for the IBU Execs.

The petition leaked and here are the main suggestions (to change IBU rules):

  • up to 8 years DQ for biathletes
  • more serious fines (up to €1 000 000) of the federations
  • Reducing season quotas of the federations with 1 or more doping offenders

Biathletes from such countries signed the petition: 

:AUT Austria

:BEL Belgium

:BLR Belarus

:CAN Canada

:CHN China

:CZE Czech Republic

:EST Estonia

:FIN Finland

:FRA France

:GBR Great Britain

:GER Germany

:ITA Italy

:JPN Japan

:LAT Latvia

:LTU Lithuania

:NOR Norway

:POL Poland

:ROU Romania

:SRB Serbia

:SVK Slovakia

:SLO Slovenia

:SWE Sweden

:SUI Switzerland

:UKR Ukraine - 11 Ukrainian biathletes (everyone who were present) & 1 trainer

:USA USA

 

 

Ukrainian federation received a letter from the IBU that they doubt that their own decision for Abramova was right. She was allowed to train with the team. There's a hope that she will be justified.

 

The federation president said that he will rise few questions at the Congress about fair punishment. We want the IBU Medical Commission to move their butts and do their job faster, within 2 months. We agree with tough punishment but it should be equal for everyone. Abramova was DQ-ed for nothing when they had to cancel her results only. Meanwhile certain someone's ban was reduced in half and he wins European Championship (he could win the World Cup with such result, wtf) like nothing happened.

 

ps. Ukraine is the 1st country that bans their biathletes forever in case of a doping abuse. Officially. We've already done that to 1 biathlete. However we don't think that Abramova's case is fair.

Tomorrow in the Junior Cup in Pokljuka we'll have the first ever single mixed and mixed relays of the series :cheer:

 

Start list for the single mixed:

And the mixed:

Obviously Brazil is going to shine in the single mixed :BRA :clap:

 

They should definitely be able to keep Macedonia behind (especially Gabi is way faster than Jovanovska) and it could actually be a very nice fight with the Netherlands, meaning it's gonna be a very rare occassion where I will be cheering for Brazil in a fight against the Dutch in any sport :p 

 

I'm expecting Ukraine, Austria and France in the single mixed podium, and France seems to have a very strong team in the mixed, together with Ukraine.

    • Half of those things, if not more, are simply stories though. One may believe them or not, fine, but those aren't really reasons to claim a land. That way anyone can claim it if they have some old story that says so, and we end up in exactly the same situation. 
    • But actually we can, going back to the crusades, to the Jewish exile from the land of Israel.    To Moses who walked the sinai desert for 40 years to get into israel.   To all the stories in the Bible about israel.  And even Jesus who was born a jew in Bethlehem and lived in Nazareth.  All places you can see to date.   The only way you would argue that there is no historic proof that israel is out land is if you are simply and atheist and dont believe anything in the Bible.   
    • And before the Turkish empire it was another. And before that yet another. And yet another. And yet another. Always a good illustration of the never-ending killing of each other in especially that region. "The god in my stories is better, so we need to kill you and everyone around you" often being a central theme.     In short, nobody 'deserves' to be there (or anywhere in the world, for that matter) and definitely nobody right now can genuinely claim the land on historical grounds or anything (which apparently people often do), unless they're a proven descendant of the first cavemen and hunter-gatherers and such coming from Africa tens of thousands of years ago.
    • Btw.  You should know that palestine is a made up country.   It never existed in history.  Before israel was awarded the land it was the British empire.  And before that the Turkish empire.    And you can google to see who was there before the turks.  But it was never palestine.   The people are Jordanian that Yasser Arafat took from Jordan because the king was killing them.   So if you're looking for a home, I would go to Jordan.   And Gaza was taken from Egypt in 1967.   Yet when sinai was given back, they never wanted Gaza.  I WONDER WHY!   so keep talking about a made up country that doesn't actually exist   Can wait to see your well thought and coherent response
    • It was.  Lately is just tears of people who hate that we kill all their idols like Sinwar and Nasrallah.    It's surprisingly nutritious 
    • Algeria is third world.  Unless you lied about that as well and you don't actually live there.  Though I dont know why would someone pretend they live in that forgotten hell hole
    • You are speaking like an imbecile in a forum in online, its not your grocery store or mosque in your third world village.   We have an identity.   I wouldn't expect you to know it.  But I'm happy to see you be miserable since we are killing each terrorist one by one. Just big red marks on the year book.    Keep going.  It's a boring time on an olympic games forum.   It's very amusing.    
    • I don't think dropping a bomb in the center of London would be beneficial to their position on the stage of global sports, but hey, who knows  
    • Not typical a sport news, but worth to mention. Konrad Bukowiecki and Natalia Kaczmarek did married today. From now officialy Natalia will change her surname to Bukowiecka, she will not follow her team mates and will not have double surname     
    • Hurricane helene is coming , let's hide behind Nitraria  Only smart one will understand what i mean
