There should have been a decision long ago on the Froome case. ASO are in their right and i'm also welcoming the decision (if it stands). With or without him, this looks on paper to be one of the most exciting Tours in many years.

To show everyone how retarded this rule of chosing one team sport is ?

yep - this is the result of our history. Our first anthem "Bogurodzica" hmmmm "God`s Parent" (Mother in fact) was kind of religious but triumphant ("powerful / positive") song.
Today`s anthem was written in 1797 after we lost our statehood in 1795. I don`t like it (words), music is ok. Words are very dramatic, sad and "losing" - kind of

Also used in french (not very common).
 
Much more common, is the use of the word "fanny" when a team or someone is scoreless in a game or a tournament. The origins of the expression are rather nebulous, but it has been popularised through the world of pétanque of the early XXth century when the losing team had "to kiss fanny ass"  as some kind of a punishment.
 
Nowadays, It's used in sports as in everyday life.

Honestly, I’m always happy to see a player miss a penalty when they do some silly stop and go before kicking the ball. To me that’s poor sportsmanship.
 
Rooting for the draw to really complicate the group.

Same in french: 'panier' (litteral translation of basket) is used when someone scores. The term 'basket' is commonly used to name the sport when basketball connoisseurs tend to prefer to use the full term of 'basketball' (in a kind of 'I'm better than you' way )

Exactly. Their government approved last week a funding of 600 million HUF (1 868 634 EUR) for Ice Hockey "explaining it - for the Sporting, Strategic and development activities of the Hungarian Hockey"
In fact the major part was actually for covering the mentioned payment and all costs of the two clubs to enter (buy the license) the SVK national championship. That also includes broadcasting rights in Hungary and other various privileges.
 
In fact Hungary seems really starting to put huge funding amounts into hockey, they want for example build and open 19 new Hockey rinks in the next few seasons

Both combined.    https://www.cas.sk/clanok/705847/do-tipsport-ligy-vstupuju-zaujimave-kluby-madari-daju-klubom-takmer-milion-eur/
 
quote in SVK
in ENG: Both clubs will pay nearly 900 thousands EUR to play in our championship, the money will be divided among the 10 slovak participating clubs
 
and yes, very expensive, but well if they agreed and have no problem to pay it, so where´s the problem

And now, Sion is gooooone too.

So no olympic speed skating in the Netherldands I guess 

Ah, Portugal was not a member yet. You do learn something new every day ^^
 
I allways assumed they were, and allways assumed that it was perfect normal for them not to score any medal too 

That is Team Sky being Team Sky. They represent the worst of the worst in cycling and those are the people that are breaking the sport. I'm not gonna hope for crashes and injuries of course, but let's just say I hope they get some flat tyres or someone steals their bikes while they're sleeping  

I won't complain about the entirely unneccesary use of "Men's Road Cycling", but can a mod at least take 'UCI' out? We don't need the federations name in every thread

It's pure decorum. A grotesque decorum that's it.
 

Why 3? If I understand correctly, with 10-19 doping cases, a country can qualify a total of 2 men (+2 women) ?
 
Anyway I counted and, as you said, KAZ, BLR, RUS, AZE, ARM will have 20+ cases including retests, while BUL, ROU, UZB, ALB, UKR, IND, IRI, MDA, TUR will have 10-19 cases.
