Shooting ISSF World Cup 2021

And yeah, this can get really ugly. There are already conspiracy theories out there that either Sidi or Péni put something in the other's drink that caused a positive test. Hopefully it's one of our other shooters, because if it's Sidi or Péni, who knows what will happen.

We still don't know who produced the positive test, but the scandal is getting bigger:

 

Péter Sidi has been suspended by the Hungarian Shooting Federation because without permission he entered István Péni's room during the Delhi World Cup and stayed there for 45 minutes. Péni wasn't in the room at that time, but there's undisputable evidence from the security footage. The federation will now conduct a disciplinary procedure against Sidi. I think there's a chance that Sidi's quota will be rejected and then reallocated.

Obviously this supports the conspiracy theory that Péni produced the positive test, and Sidi put something in his food/drink. Hopefully this isn't true because of it is....

:yikes: What a big loss for Hungary. Both Peni and Sidi are top class shooters. That is multiple medal chances gone. 

Yeah... I think we are losing both Péni and Sidi. Based on what's going on, I would be surprised if Péni isn't the one who had the positive test (why else would they watch the security footage two months after the event?). Nobody can actually prove that Sidi did anything when he was in that room so Péni can't prove that he was framed if his test is positive.

Hm, for some reason I thought that the shooting quotas has to be used by the athletes who won them. I guess we can send others like Pekler, but we obviously won't have the same medal chances.

it looks like the Baldini vs Cassarà affair at the 2008 Fencing Europeans, when Baldini tested positive and immediately claimed he was framed by his rival Cassarà (at the time they were fighting for the second and last Italian spot in the Individual Foil in Beijing 2008, when no team event for that weapon was scheduled)...

In the end, Baldini could demonstrate he didn't take any drug intentionally and a few months later it was even proved that he was someone from Cassarà's entourage that put the banned drug in Baldini's water bottle, but the damage was done, as Baldini was provisionally suspended and Cassarà went to the Beijing Olympics (where he miserably failed...because Karma is a bitch an so on)...

 

ah...the good old glory days of 13+ years ago...when I was younger and healtier...:rofl: :facepalm:

no, quota won at world champs/world cup are for the NOC...so, you might choose other shooters (the main  problem is that you can only swap 1 quota between different events -and not between genders- so you still have to choose at least 1 rifle specialist that is clearly a 3rd choice behind the 2 misbehaving contenders)...

    • I'll post significant changes periodically. I'll start with the recently added/updated documents.   Archery The addition of mixed compound (12M & 12W) forced a reduction on the recurve side. The mixed compound quotas are distributed as follows   Host - 1 World Championships - 3 Continental Games - 5 World Ranking List - 2 Final Qualifier - 1   To compensate the team events will now only have 8 nations. 2 quotas were removed from the World Ranking List and 2 were removed from the Final Qualifier.   Individual recurve and mixed recurve distribution is the same
    • In Rome, it would be useful to roof the swimming pool complex at Foro Italico, possibly with the option of retracting the roof and covering the tennis court complex. Overall, there's a lot to do, for example, compared to Budapest, but unfortunately, this is Italy How many years has Roma been building their new stadium, and they keep pushing back the completion date- now I read it's 2030? and it should be ready. The same goes for Milan- there should be a modern complex of indoor swimming pools with 50 meters pools, etc., but there's a problem with one stupid football stadium, which will only be built after an ultimatum from UEFA

    • impossible, there are not enough venues in both towns and I mean, Milan doesn't have an Olympic Stadium, a decent Tennis Complex and a big Swimming Complex (not to mention the sea) Rome, on the other hand, doesn't have a Rowing/Canoeing Basin nor arenas and stadiums for the team sports beyond football and rugby there's no chance that all those venues would be built from scratch, meanwhile if we use both cities we already have almost everything we need, especially the most expensive and controversial sites

    • https://nypost.com/2026/01/31/sports/team-canada-skeleton-coach-joe-cecchini-speaks-out-after-american-katie-uhlaender-manipulation-claim/   Oh the drama....   Cecchini: “I don’t really wanna speak negatively about Katie, but Katie was not on the World Cup team. She wasn’t a top-tier athlete in that program anymore. She was at the end of her career. I would personally would rather race against Katie. She’s not as competitive as the other athletes,” he said. “It’s probably really unfair to say and not really where I want to go with this but that’s where we are with that.”   Uhlaender: “If I were Canada, I would be concerned in how this coach is representing the Olympic values for his country,” Uhlaender told Fox News Digital. “He hurt a whole field of athletes, all with dreams, and this sends the message that they don’t matter unless they are number one. All athletes matter, and we all deserve to compete fairly, with integrity, and respect. He did not respect anyone in that field. “This is not about my resume or how good the athletes were in the race. This is about the fact that he intentionally manipulated the competition to hurt myself and 13 other countries because he felt it necessary to eliminate all possibility. That is against the spirit of sport and not what the Olympic movement represents.”   Isn't it great when other people's dirty laundry is aired?  /sarcasm     (I was a little surprised to see NPR pick this up, but per this article, Uhlaender preemptively recorded the phone call after receiving a text from Cecchini that said he had 'bad news' for her.)
