Whatever. It's pure bullshit no matter how you look at it

Russian presence in ski jumping or alpine skiing is minimal. I'd be shocked if they allow a single biathlete or cross country skier to compete in Beijing. Bolshunov & co. will watch the Games on TV

That's the thing. We can't let the Kenyan thing aside. If Russia is banned from global events then Kenya should follow suit. And yet some people like dcro here claim Kenya should be let off the hook because they don't host global events. What kind of logic is that? Kenya hasn't even been thrown out of the IAAF events even though athletics is like 99% of their sporting presence. I wouldn't be so vocal about it if the same standards were applied for everyone but it's clear they won't. IAAF will look away and let all these Kenyans compete like nothing happened. Hell, they may even award Nairobi hosting the World Championships one day. Because she was banned from competing in Rio 2016 already. She remains based in Russia so it's natural they will ban her from competing in Tokyo again IMO.

You really think someone like Lasitskene will be allowed to compete in Tokyo? Not in a million years, my friend

Exactly my point, Russia is big & powerful and they hosted the Olympics so their punishment should me more severe than countries who aren't as rich and don't host any gobal events. It's the same crap like calling the alcohol in beer & whiskey different. If you drove under the influence of whiskey then we're taking your license but if drank beer then we won't. Yeah, it's fairly clear that Kenya can have hundreds of dozens doped atheltes and nobody wouldn't do anything about it because the country is not as powerful as Russia. Only confirms how political this issue really is. What a load of crap that is indeed.

You are very naive. How much money & effort ARD put into uncovering the Russian doping case? I'd say quite a lot. How much effort does ARD or anyone else put into the Kenyan case? I'd say much less. Yeah, it's better to look away and pretend Russia is the only evil of this world

Good try but neah... Your collonialist rule is over, my friend. France no longer dictates who should speak what in this world.

Obviously they won't because they don't dislike Kenya as much as Russia for instance. It's all down to anti-Russian bias, there is no anti-Kenyan bias to speak of. Today is a huge win for the Western World, probably their biggest win since the post-Cold War communist block collapse.

Is Kenya a state-sponsored doping too? Or because the country is poor their form of doping support doesn't count as statewide? I'm well aware the Westerners like you would only like to talk about DDR & Soviet Union (Russia) but it's not going to work, my friend.

I see you're not even defending or pretending your case so I'm sure I was 100% correct on this one

Please be more specific, two things, the anti-Russian bias in the West is also responsible for this. Nobody and I mean nobody gives a damn about single, clean Russian athletes. This is a collective responsibility like I ever saw one. At least you can stop pretending and making jokes about the big bad West and all that crap. I know how happy you are right now, well done, you've reached your goal, my congratulations. Now let's see if Kenya gets a widespread ban like that or will the Western world show them pity? I suspect the latter. There's one thing that will come out of this, the Russian hackers will try to expose doping among Western athletes in response. God knows how many things have been swept under the carpet in the West? The Salazar/NOP craze has crushed & burned already and it's only a matter of time when more skeletons start falling out. PS. I fully expect WADA & CAS going nuclear and kicking Russia out of the football Euro 2020 and the 2022 Qatar World Cup if neccessary. All bets are off right now.

Pretty much the game of the season there. George Kittle is the true Gronkowski heir as the best TE in the league.

Clinton & Obama did nothing to revoke these Medals either so?

USA has awarded Medals of Honor for the Wounded Knee massacre. That's the ultimate kick in the teeth when it comes to "gallantry & life risk above the call of duty"

I don't mean what Haecki gained but what other people lost which makes the difference

Sorry I meant 2016/17. I still feel like that was her best season and some of 18/19 results were inflated due to people skipping the North American trip.

Hacki's last season was worse than 2017/18 for whatever reason. Kamila Zuk has everything she needs to become successful, we even phased Krystyna Guzik out of the A team for both her and Kinga Zbylut to have a full crack at the World Cup. No excuses if she can't score Top 40 results on regular basis.

Speaking of Obergs - and the days when Kamila Zuk was the hottest junior instead of Davidova https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biathlon_Junior_World_Championships_2018

@Agger The Nobel Prizes are political for some time, dare I say awarding Obama one stands out as a complete nonsense and obviously left-wing writers are pretty much favored to win one for literature as well.

It's not stupid, the Western world wants to show Russians who is the boss. In response I expect more leaks about doping cases among the Western athletes and of course the Russian hackers will be behind it. They've exposed the NOP scandal before already when everyone and their mother was ready to suck on Salazar's kneecaps.

Sounds like a rip-off from a quote about Leonhard Stock tbh

You're in a complete minority. America cares more about Trump's tweets than anything else. History repeats itself since forever. Nobody and I mean nobidy cares about the Srebrenica massacre anymore. Stop fooling yourself. Sweden is viewed as the progressive leader of the world, they have this gender equality and Greta Thunberg. This is what the world cares about now so of course the Noble committee will give an award to someone who denies the Srebrenica massacre. Greta Thunberg is more important than those Bosnian families. It's really that simple

No drama here. They awarded him the Nobel Prize despite all the knowledge so it's obvious they don't give a damn. Plus Sweden is such a nice & liberal country. How dare you question their integrity? They support the Muslim immigrant movement and all that. Truly, who gives a damn about the Srebrenica genocide anymore? Nobody. There's a War in Donbas going on right now and nobody gives a damn either. It's called global politics and the Nobel committe fits right in. These awards have been nothing but politics for a long while now

Some late juice here. Kajsa Vickhoff Lie threw away Top 6 right at the end but Marsaglia pushes Ledecka off the podium.

Schmidhofer, Shiffrin, Ledecka Top 3 after the elite group Lara Gut dead last 2,60 secs behind.
