I really hope that they have changed.

 

naaa...

they didn't change and will never change...

anything else, it's just illusion...

 

to see any change (in general, not only from the Russians), we should get back to real amateur sport...because until there's an economical interest on it, there will always be cheaters all around...

I agree, but I do think that sponsorships are pivotal in funding athletes since many national organizations choose not to, or can not afford. I just wish the IOC used their money for good because they have a butt ton of it just sitting around.

I know and I agree, but I only said that where's money all around, there will be also always someone not playing "fair"...

it's the human nature, I guess...:(:facepalm:

Russia doesnt have a place in sports. All Russians should be banned. All of Russia is shameful cheaters. Russia should always be banned, and humiliated. Until Putin leaves. No politics, only concern for clear athletes

 

The fact that the Russian sport is the cleanest in the world for 4 years and only it is checked, it doesnt matter. We want to see Russia always banned

Am I right, Olympian1010? I see that you are very upset. Well, nothing, think of something else against Russia. Don't worry be happy

I’m for the Russian Federations reinstatement, but I think there should have been stricter terms. My country has a huge dopping problem as well. I think the IOC and WADA need to take stronger action. I’m sorry if my dislike of the decision offended you or other Russian users, that’s just my view.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
