1) I don’t know how many people trust this sport, therefore I won’t just assume that they do or don’t trust it. In general you are almost always wrong if you make general statements about a group of people.

 

2) I don’t blame the international organizations. Obviously there is a lot of corruption and when people, who are from the dominant nations in a sport, make it to the top of the organization that should govern that sport, you can’t really expect objectivity ... but I don’t see any chance of ever getting rid of doping, especially when there is no political will to do it in certain countries. We will have Doping as long as there is incentive to dope.
 

The problem is that even if the organisations are honest & committed to reform, which many are, then their national legal systems & international organisations like the Court of Arbitration for Sport just do not back them up.  Few governing bodies can afford an extended legal battle.  The powerful & rich IOC should do more, but they are corrupt and/or short-sightef.

I think the other nations could make a change. If all the nations except Norway and Russia boycott the competitions until Norway/Russia are banned, then we could see a change. Obviously Russia and Norway are very important, but I think all the other nations combined and their tv money is more important. Sadly the national federations also have no backbone.

No way someone bullies Norway into any changes. They invest more money into cross-country than everyone else combined save for Sweden. It's like trying to ban China in table tennis or Canada in curling. It's just NOT gonna happen

And for what exactly?

The battleground states in the women's nation's ranking after today:

 

 

I really wonder, and it's of rather big significance, whether or not Thailand, Australia and Armenia (and South Korea/Lithuania, sure) will send someone to the Engadin World Cup (if allowed, which is another question)...if they don't, that is absolutely Brazil's chance.

I was just about to comment that Serbia is on their way to getting a quota, even though they missed their opportunity for a basic quota. In case that wasn’t clear, Serbia should get a quota should they remain in the top 30.
