  1. The idea is only stopping for a week and nix the asg (that almost everyone hates, anyway) for that season.
  2. If it were up to me I'd only add surf and climbing. Unless MLB lets the players go.
  3. Only Colombia vs France today
  4. Football players are bound to be more popular than any basketball especially when there's no James, no Curry. Durant or Anthony might be the most popular but nowhere near the level of a Neymar. Or a Bolt. Or the Tennis Big 4. Or a Serena.
  5. Propaganda machine at its finest. Discredit the messenger to try to dismiss his message. I can't believe some people are falling for this pseudo-dictatorship tricks.
  6. Nope. Edwin Mosquera is going instead (69k)
  7. Yeah. I won't lie and say I wasn't hoping for the silver/bronze combo
  8. Yeah. This sucks. Can we replace our 5th man? It'd probably be Sergio Rada in the same category.
  9. That is insane. It should have been put to vote. It was too big a decision.
  10. Get tested and go under the IOC flag. At the end of the day their NOC and their state were the ones that failed them and I'd regretably put the other 10000 athletes' wellbeing and fairness over theirs. But it's a nice sob story, I'll grant you that. NBC should use it for their coverage.
  11. Gatlin makes a lot of us sick too. Hopefully there will be new anti-doping regulations that harm his ilk too. I'd argue for any offense to be punishable with 4 years. Get caught whenever and still miss the games.
  12. Awesome. I was living in the Netherlands during Sochi and one of my finest memories of the games is being invited to watch the Slovakia vs Czech Rep game with people from both countries (a Canadian guy and myself were the only neutrals). I was expecting a lot of vitriol and instead it was extremely friendly. Velvet divorce indeed.
  13. Pantano who just won a stage in the current tour. I don't know who'd take his place in the time trial during day 5. It still depends on some medical test he'll take after the tour is over.
  14. There's still that sword of damocles hanging over RU, AZ, BY and KZ over those old samples tho.
  15. It's about paying for your crimes. Sochi might be done and over but being banned as a nation because as a nation you cheated your way to 13 gold medals would be a fit punishment. It'd send a message that this kind of shit is unacceptable. Going with "what's done is done" is irresponsible sick enabling and a mockery of the effort and sacrifices clean athletes go through during every 4 years cycle.
  16. I assume it'll be anounced IF by IF during the week. I also bet IWF will be harsh, and IJF and FINA will act as the enablers they are.
  17. Agreed. Efimova going to Rio made me sick
  18. Stepanova is screwed over too. What a mess.
  19. Yep. The IAAF decision stands
  20. Looks like she is. Good. And tbh, for my sister's sake I hope your synchro swim and rhythmic teams do make it
  21. That the whole "hard stance on doping" rhetoric only applies to minnows and powerful countries can cheat as they like. Be prepared for Efimova's medal. EDIT: actually, never mind, looks like she's banned
  22. Cowards. They've failed olympism and clean athletes. This is your legacy, Mr Bach.
  23. I guess is a case by case basis. Walking around hunting pokemon at 3 am would dangerous to anyone.
