Doping Cases and Bans 2021 Thread

[Orangehair43 251]

And everyone in the UK suspects Sky sold up due to the doping stories affecting their reputation. Considering Ineos as a company are not overtly popular further doping stories  (and actual stories relating to current activities and not just speculation or rumours without some evidence) could be very damaging to them.

 

Through the British Press  care less now as they now fully spereate from the Manchester based team and UKAD have less jurisdiction over them

Obviously there is no proof, otherwise he wouldn't be allowed to compete. Common sense/a basic understanding of statistics should tell you that the probablity of him being clean at best is as big as the probability of you winning the lottery every week for the rest of your life.

Like what's the point in watching top level sports if you truly believe all the top contenders are cheaters?

All I can say is: the ability to ignore some users does wonders for my mental health here.

This is why you want to make sure to finish the 4x100m if you make it to the finals because you never know xD

Similarly, you want to register a clear lift in Weightlifting.

Nope, the source should be your own common sense, but in this case it doesn't seem to work, because you somehow see the accomplishment of some of your compatriots as partly your own and admitting to yourself that they are as dirty as everyone else would leave you without anything to be proud of.

You could still enjoy it for what it is, a form of entertainment. Personally i believe that anyone who watches elite sports is supporting doping, so i will stop watching it. Personally i believe that you should not not do something that is right, just because it has negative effects on you personally (not being able to use sports as a source of entertainment).

How many times will you write this down before you finally stop visiting this forum? We got it the first time you wrote it down, stop strocking your gargantuan ego and disappear already.

And other than cycling most of the increase is in a select few sports when funding and full time training is proven to make a lot of the difference and doping is not likely to be effective. 

Like what, checkers and competitive eating?
