In the end, almost all sports are partly decided by that. Take football: sure, tactics and styles are important, but use doping and you'll be able to keep running longer and longer and more importantly, you'll be able to use your supreme techniques longer. I've seen plenty of matches with teams like Barcelona, Valencia or Juventus where they just kept going and going and going as if they'd never be tired...honestly I think football has the most doping of every sport, simply because it's by far the most "financial sport" and the interests are so incredibly huge there. No way FIFA will ever implement a decent anti-doping regulation and they will never get anywhere near IAAF, UCI, FINA (they might not be good, or even be bad, but at least they test). My problem with sports like weightlifting is that the results indeed often change because of doping tests. The good thing is: they test. My problem with sports like football and other major sports is that their fans are so blind and naive when it comes to doping. "No, it's a technical sport, we don't need doping." Oh please.

I wonder which sports I could be a fan of then. There are at least serious controls....in contrast to sports like football where the entire anti-doping is the biggest joke in the world.

Brazilian biathlon is calling (literally ) so I'm afraid you'll have to excuse me for now I enjoyed it though

Wonderful parade of nations And indeed, where's the ice hockey?

And it looks like KAZ weightlifters Zulfiya Chinshanlo and....damn it, Ilya Ilyin are two of the four doped gold medalists of London 2012

Agreed

I think it doesn't really work like that when suddenly a ton of media in your home country is writing about you possibly getting historic results

I saved you some

Welcome in Kosice? Wait, I made it? I'm here?

To be fair, I don't follow tennis that close as many of you guys and even I am hearing how great of a talent Thiem is all the freaking time I can imagine there's quite a lot of pressure as the real hope of Austrian tennis..

Tried that as well, didn't work for me but I hope it does for Agger... Let's just say I sneaked through anyway and apparently I'm not a wanted man. Agger, I would strongly advice against shouting "Bomb! He's got a bomb!" and using the confusion to get through. Just don't do it.

Ah, right, Serbian heritage

Well I was most certainly not told that...

What's so special about Raonic? On a Dutch forum he's usually seen as the biggest "douche" on the Tour, as in, a "boring, anonymous" player apart from some sick serves. Personally I really don't know enough about it to judge that, so I don't understand why people say such negative things and I also don't understand why people say such positive things

Never say never I mean, I'm sure stranger things have happened...imagine a scenario with someone like Kyrgios being in the shape of his life, a good draw and some upsets that kicks out someone like Djokovic and some other of the highest level and you might see a surprise (Although yeah, the chance of him NOT winning a GS in 2016, 2017 or 2018 is obviously bigger than the chance that he does win one)

At Slovakia's expenses I hope? I swear I'll withdraw if I have to pay for anything today after this disaster...

No idea, but I'm seeing this in the corner. The room has windows on the roof to let sunlight in, but they're not open and I can't reach them. Also I'm hearing all kinds of noises around me, I swear it sounded like a lion roaring a few moments ago.

Who cares, the Irish have won a shitload of money in the previous contests so I doubt you'll care about a few euros more or less...

Careful with those attack helicopters though, a couple of Hellfire missiles might be too much..

What's a Soubenir?

Thank you, because the smell in here is getting unbearable. Why are there no windows in the restrooms?

Can someone get to the men's restroom please? I'm all done but somehow I can't get out...it's like a horde of small creatures is blocking the door..

Yeah, as a neutral person when it comes to tennis, the men's tour is not exactly that great....I mean, Djokovic, Federer, Nadal and Murray are obviously great players, but come on, I've sort of had enough of always seeing the same names mixed with a Wawrinka or something every now and then... The women's tour is much more interesting in the sense that there are more new names coming up, although of course with Serena it's still same old same old so hopefully she'll be done anytime soon

Dorna/MotoGP has announced Spanish Moto2-rider Luis Salom has died after a bad crash during today's 2nd free practice in Barcelona.. http://www.motogp.com/en/news/2016/06/03/statement-luis-salom/202682

Thanks, I thought there was the restriction of participation in the world champs, but I must have been confused then
