Doping Cases and Bans 2018 Thread

In short: "Russia has history, so we have hard time to trust them. Myself, I trust them, it's a new generation, we want to beleive they are clean. Yet, we have to wait, as doping stories allways come out afterward."

 

Well now I'm curious for someone who speaks Swedish ( @Agger ) to help out with what he actually said, meaning the Expressen interview (which I believe is the original one?) :p

https://www.expressen.se/sport/os-2018/dopingattacken-infor-medaljjakten/

 

There it also sounds as though he says something like we should wait four years to see if there are stories about Spitsov, but that's just based on Google Translate. I got it from Ski-Nordique, but I guess there was an error in translating from French there.

Yeah. He says that his results aren't that surprising as he has been strong the last weeks and that it's okay that he's there. Then he adds that we'll see in 4 years if there'll be any stories.

Thanks. Indeed, not as 'sore loser-like' as I initially thought, apologies to Manificat (in case he'd ever visit Totallympics :p ). I still wonder if that last part was necessary, but alright.

Apparently the first test was negative. She failed the 2nd test which was taken in a 5 days so she took that prohibited substance right at the Olympics :facepalm:

Nose drops, I read on Championat (with Google Translate)?

I wonder if it was some medicine and she simply didn't pay attention, a mistake that's very easily made.

Something from a nasal spray it seems. Possibly the same substance the Russian boxer got disqualified for in Rio.

If true this is a very minor doping offence  - but her or the team medical staff must be the most stupid people in the world.

No - the test was for trimetazidine.

    • Those are the national junior championships, national championships are in Steinkjer, starting tomorrow: FIS | Steinkjer (NOR) - Event Details - Cross-Country
    • Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
    • If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?
    • I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups. 
    • If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great
    • Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.
