Some news about Russia

 

Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov has described reports saying that some clean Russian athletes could be barred from the Winter Olympics as "frustrating news" expressing the hope that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) will clarify the situation.

"Indeed, we saw this frustrating news in media reports. We would find it regrettable if such decisions have already been made," the Kremlin spokesman told reporters. "We hope that the situation will be clarified one way or another, because contacts with the IOC are being maintained, though on a limited scale. We hope that during these contacts we will be able to clarify [the situation] with the aforementioned Russian athletes."

Any of this name?

 

one is surely Sergey Ustyugov, who's ban is already confirmed by Russian Minister of Sports Stanislav Pozdnyakov's words to official news agancies (even if he's claiming that Ustyugov's absence in Korea is not due to doping troubles)...

 

2 more should be Denis Yuskov and Pavel Khulizhnikov (speedskating)...

All of them were according to their source. Potentially, every named cited today could be disqualified.

Italian press talks about 111 athletes who have been rejected by the IOC...

not all the names have already been released yet, but they will be in the next few hours...

It's also mentioned a first reaction from Kremlin already shouting for a full boycott of the Olympics from the Russian side...

"Not being included on the invitation list does not necessarily mean that an athlete has been doped"

 

That's how IOC reacted. Honestly, that's ridiculous. 

What joke, Bach destroyed the Olympics. You have a source for it?

    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics

    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
