no, they don't say that at all... it's just a banned substance (and as a recreational drug -horrible definition- it's considered a minor infraction, with shorter period of ban -rules say from 3 to 6 months max...he got away with 3, the usual standard for that kind of fault), which doeasn't necessarily mean that it's also a PED (and cannabis abuse's consequences are well known...it makes you way less reactive, so in a sprint race it's not an advantage at all)... and as I said, I'm against any drug and I clearly wrote that I don't want him to be part of our team, so I'm definitely not looking for excuses for Italian people doing extremely stupid things...

yes, it's only a LEN thing... and it only started quite recently, after some lobbying from the bigger Teams...

yeah, greediness at the highest level should be their motto... however, full detailed results are for free and available immediately after the end of any event...

as far as I know, it's always been that way...

wait... cannabis (and especially for sprinters, who need a flashy start) to me is not doping...and I wouldn't call "cheaters" those who get caught for that... actually, taking cannabis befopre a sprint event makes you more damage than benefit... the problem to me is that they are just drug addicted...and I hate drug dealers and drug addicted people...to me, they should all be sentenced to death, as they are a disaster for the entire society, even more than themselves and their family... to me, it's a really different question, that goes well beyond sport and PEDs, it's a real cancer of modern society...

by the way, I just discovered that Italy have 50m Free specialist Vergani on their roster (he's currently banned for cannabis until July 20th)... what a shame! he should have never been selected after he got caught for that...

if you open the various sports pages (go over the big event and look at the pop up window), the lists are there... pool swimming lists are not official yet (I think each Country has until next Thursday to make their final selection), therefore they're not available... for instance, this is the Diving page... http://www.omegatiming.com/2019/18th-fina-world-championships-dv-live-results

here you can find all entry lists, results and rankings you want... http://www.omegatiming.com/sports-timing-live-results

if you want to download a program ondemand from raiplay, just go to the tv guide and click on the program you want to download... once its page is open (it doesn't matter if you can't actually watch the program), copy & paste the entire url into pastylink window...wait a few seconds and then choose your download... normally, you have the low (800kbps) quality video and the mid quality (1800kbps) one...sometimes also a high quality stream (but only on a few selected tv series and shows, not for news and / or sport)... please, be careful that pastylink doesn't work if you have an adblock active on their page and that they have some softcore pictures and popup windows...nothing excessive, but it could be annoying if you're not alone... p.s. and as I wrote before, if you want to watch anything online from raiply (or you want to watch it live), Hola extension for Chrome (it's free) works perfectly with that site... p.p.s. only the programs in white are available...if they are in shady grey, it means that they are not available...

so, China, Great Britain and Mexico are the first pairs qualified to the Olympic Games...

thankfully, a few more interesting things happened on Friday and earlier today in Istanbul... in particular, everything is set for tomorrow's showdown in the men's -74kg, when a new chapter of the rivalry between Frank Chamizo and Jordan Burroughs will be on stage... however, I don't expect anything special, as Chamizo is just coming back from a muscular injury that prevented his participation to the European games just a couple of weeks ago...so, he can't be in the best shape... still, the names involved are always worth watching... and for the joy of our dear friend @hckosice we have a couple of Slovakians on fire as Gulaev made the final in the men's -79kg and Makoev will be in the bronze medal match in the -86kg...

p.s. if you change the 800 in the final part of the url with 1800, you can have a better picture quality...

Hola extension for Chrome should do the job...normally, it works for me...

I really like Corona Extra, but unfortunately I never tried the other one (I don't think it's available here in Italy), so, it's a forced choice... by the way, among the commercial beers, my favourites are generally Fisher (FRA), Stella Artois (Belgium), Heineken (NED) and Beck's (GER)... but those I like the most are local beers from the small Italian factories and the "special" ones (like the "Biere du Demon", the super-powerful French beer)...

yeah, but both Jongejans and Stewart coming off the US NCAA system...

by the way, who was the TV director? Mickey Mouse? the first idiot taken from the local mental health institute? basically, we've watched 50+ mins for nothing, just to know the winner (who was clear since the last km mark)... he missed out on all the action in the last 200m (keeping the cameras stuck only on the lone leader) and then he didn't even show the final sprint for silver, bronze and all the minor placings... p.s. disappointing race for Italy, with Guidi never in contention and Acerenza who did show all of his inexperience in open water swimming, losing a highly likely medal in the last 200m...

as I wrote in the swimming thread, if you're not a fina.tv subscriber, Italian TV has it all (with VPN...and a free registration)... https://www.raiplay.it/video/2019/07/Gwangju-2019-Artistico-Fondo-Tuffi-2e37096f-5597-40f5-94a7-605431c7cbc4.html

in most European countries you risk a very expensive fine and to end up in jail if you abuse of cardsharing and/or IKS/Stalker/Forever servers and things like that... especially here in Italy, there are a lot of people who have this same STB (or others very similar to that, like Qviart, Viark and all kinds of Enigma 2 "family" STBs - for instance, I have a dreambox 920 UHD...but I try not to use those "online special features")... still, it's totally illegal and it could be a real problem one day or another...
