  1. I actually read a very heartbreaking article by a black guy saying how he fears playing the game might get him killed. Daunting stuff.
  2. It would have been nice if Pantano had won it on our Independence Day.
  3. Ok. That's clearer. Preciado is called "second flagbearer" (or junior, if you must) and Chocho is still "first"/senior. He received it because of Chocho's ausence but Chocho should still be flagbearer at the parade of nations. EDIT: Way slower, lol
  4. Yeah. It's very weird. It kinda makes you think something happened behind curtains, but I agree it likely means Preciado is the flagbearer.
  5. What a frustrating ambiguous article. Yes, it says Chocho couldn't make it to the ceremony to recieve the flag and Preciado is flagbearer but says nothing about the actual opening ceremony.
  6. NOCs are suspended for tamer reasons. If state-sponsored doping is not met with the harshest response available let's just call it quits and wait for pokemon go tournaments to be televised. Sucks for the clean Russians, but it was their state letting them down.
  7. It's a matter that affects them. Their clean athletes would risk losing medals and all their hard work to cheaters. They have every right to say that'd be unacceptable.
  8. Well, my sister is devastated. She cares nothing about sports except for Olympic synchronized swimming and rhythmic gymnastics and she doesn't see the point if there are no Russians there lol.
  9. After the whole amateur controversy Jossimar Calvo will be the flagbearer and will leave right after the parade to prepare for his event the next morning. Both Ibarguen and Pajon had refused and they were about to name Gaviria before the Colombian Gymnastics fed gave Jossimar permission. So I guess the asterisk can go lol @hckosice
  10. Am I too cynical if I think that the IOC response will depend on NBC and corporate sponsors?
  11. It's a possibility. He said his mandate was just to investigate and the rest is up to the IOC. That could (and should) include outing the medalists involved. But we'll know more in the upcoming days, hopefully.
  12. FINA will do nothing because they make FIFA look spotless by comparison.
  13. There must be legal reasons to not name them publicly. You'd expect McLaren to give the names privately to WADA, IOC and Russia.
  14. I mentioned Tokyo, didn't I? That should be more than enough. If after two games the contempt remains those 120 quotas should be put to better use.
  15. With so many sports knocking on the door that would send their best, 2-3 cycles seem like too much to see if they get their act together. But they should go to Tokyo at least, even in only to be close to "the stuff that matters".
  16. If they can form a team with them, sure. Otherwise, too bad but the priority should be protecting the athletes that's worked their ass off for 4 years from losing a deserving medal to tools of Putin's vanity.
  17. Russian athletes based outside of Russia like Klishina should be allowed to compete. Ban the rest.
  18. The Colombian fed is gonna complain about the referee but I don't see the point, tbh. Chile won, and won well (the shitty conditions played against both sides), but I don't blame Giraldo for giving up the pretense this wasn't a farce. Anyway, good luck in the playoffs.
  19. The same the Chilean federation and the referee didn't have making them play in such deplorable conditions?
  20. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Why keep going if they were playing in a pigsty?
  21. Good read. Thanks. (Bwt, the angry Sporting fans in the comments are great too. Don't tell my friend but they reek of third wheel complex lol)
