Ah, also known as the Lance Armstrong Defense.

Just saw Netherlands - Brazil will be played in the week where Apeldoorn hosts a pool Awesome, what better way to welcome my Brazilian girlfriend into the Netherlands then bringing her to a match to see Brazil lose?

Too bad he gets such a short suspension, but on the bright side, he will miss almost 12 million dollars in salary

Same way as a certain Aldo something for the biathlon/cross-country during the Winter Olympics I guess, which was absolutely awful as well (half of what he said was translated to me by my girlfriend who was insanely frustrated at having to hear his often poor and even factually incorrect commentary all the time )

Oh, I thought you were putting the blame on Tobias My apologies

That might be not entirely his fault, to be fair. Because yes, he is indeed good at knowing what athletes need (we are seeing right now the successes of young Swedish athletes, which for a big part are thanks to him). Oh well, I hope he finds a new job on the same kind of level (I think the real top nations are too much this early in his career).

Aaaaand it's over.

How stupid from the federation Firing a coach after one season because he didn't win a medal with a team with which a medal was possible, but definitely not even close to a certainty...Tobias deserved more trust.

Pozzo, yes please

@rybak I see Poland has a new women's head coach, which leads me to the question....where did Tobias Torgersen go?

Yates Having asthma

The road starts to look like Flanders and Stybar attacks within 5 meters

There is evidence (videos on a phone) that the Bogota races finished in the way the results showed, so if FIS is gonna ask about that specific part, there's no problem there.

Because I was told by someone (involved around this) who I know 100% to be talking the truth in this matter. What other things Likert is talking about I would not know, but it's not about results being incorrect (as in, smaller differences being noted than the results were in reality).

The video that's mentioned in the links. The way I understood it (for the race in Turkey): - Timing was changed from automatic to manual - Results (manually timed) showed a relatively close race - Someone had recorded the race (or at least the finish) on their mobile phone and that video showed that the result was very much not as close as the official result suggested.

In Bogota they did actually finish close to each other, unlike what apparently happened in Turkey according to the video of the race.

But I see no reason for that being mentioned, other than just 7 people being there (which has nothing to do with cheating, but with FIS having shitty rules).

Reading this article, I only see this timing issue about the race in Turkey, which was proven because it was recorded on camera by mobile phone. But nothing about Bogota?

By the way, perfect example of why the whole FIS points system absolutely sucks monkey balls in both cross-country skiing and alpine skiing.

Sounds rather lucky for World Rugby (or whoever was in charge) that this ineligible player situation came up, now they don't really need to deal with the situation around the Romanian referee in charge of a match which had direct influence on Romania's chances to qualify.. Edit: Apparently they did make a statement about this, which really leaves nothing to the imagination about the referee.

Well, only one way to find out. Do you happen to have a link to something about it? I can't find it on NRK

What do they mean with 'not done right'?

Chavito is sick.
