Isn't the video footage enough? 

Well, it can't prove that Sidi actually did something inside the room, which probably means that Péni is fucked if he's the one who has the positive test. I still have a small bit of hope left that it's another Hungarian shooter, not Péni.

Even if Peni can prove that someone spiked his drink, process would take time. And he would be provisionally banned till then. Even then, he might get a reduced ban. Basically, if his test has come positive, almost no chance for him to compete in Tokyo.

They still don't want to reveal who had the positive test, but Ágnes Tiszeker, who represents the Hungarian Antidoping Agency, said that while every positive test is unfortunate, what happened in this case will be particularly shocking. She said that we will be talking about this for a long time and there will be lessons learned from it. 

 

So yeah, this all but confirms what's going on, but the Hungarian Shooting Federation will remain silent until they finish their investigation.

It's official, István Péni is the Hungarian shooter who had the positive doping test. People at the Hungarian Federation suspect that someone put drug into the B vitamin of István Péni, the substance that caused the positive test can be bought anywhere in the world. The investigation is still not finished, but the suspect is clearly Péter Sidi. It's up to ISSF and WADA what they will do with István Péni, first ISSF will have to decide whether they will let him compete in Tokyo and then WADA will have to decide whether they want to veto the decision of the ISSF. As far as the Hungarian federation and the Hungarian Antidoping Agency is concerned, so far they seem to be on the side of Péni. I think they still hope that at least one of the shooters will be declared innocent and can compete in Tokyo, not sure how realistic that is.

Also, just to reiterate: you have no clue whatsoever about Hungarian sports or about the country if you think that there's "system" in place for doping. We had and will always have some athletes who will take stuff, as in every country, maybe sometimes in a small group with their friends like our two doping gold medalists in Athens, but there can't be a system where the sports aren't centralized and even more importantly: the people at the top don't care that much. Orbán's true passion is football, everything else is secondary, and the same can be said about his party regarding sports. And their main goal is to steal money, the results aren't that important. There's just no good reason for the them to have anything similar to what Russia had, risking a ton of humiliation in case they are exposed, which would likely happen because Hungarian media still have enough freedom for that. And most of the top Hungarian athletes have their own coaches and don't train in a big unified Hungarian national team. Like, Hosszú might as well could have been a completely foreign swimmer when she won most of her gold medals, she was a complete outsider with her training and Shane Tusup. Milák also has his own coach, Attila Selmeczi, who's fully in control of his training. 

 

The huge corruption and the money laundering inside Hungarian sports is the actual big issue, not some nonexistent doping system. 

 

And side note: if there would actually be a doping system, it would mean that we are doing a terrible job because our results are constant at best, or we are getting worse. Why are we so shit in athletics and weightlifting (and getting worse) if we have this system? :d Hungarian weightlifting has never been as terrible as it is now.

Dirty story... i'm sad for that. In Italy there is a mode to say: "brother knives".

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
