By the way, with Kroon's confession, after 12 years we now have a full bingo card for the top-10 
 

 
And behind that we've got the likes of shady Italians Paolo Bettini and Eddy Mazzoleni in 12th and 14th, Juan Jose Cobo from the most shady Saunier Duval team ever in 15th, Igor 'one year fly and abnormal blood values' Astarloa in 16th, Maxim Iglinskiy in 17th, Iban Mayo (EPO) in 18th, Chris Horner of shady Saunier Duval (who later won the Vuelta as a great-granddad in terms of age) in 19th...
 
How fun, of the entire top-19 (!), 11th placed Fabian Wegmann seems to be the only one who doesn't have either a simple positive doping test or at the very least the stench of a huge shithole around him  

Surely you'll be back by latewoodu's votes?

What is this attitude? Cancel life, we have TISC to attend!  

Kroon? Many?  

We expected a comment like this...

The first stage of the Tour of Senegal was cancelled, because there was no doctor  
 

 
African cycling  Another chapter after the Tour of Cameroon was cancelled when half the field had already arrived.
 
Reguigi won the second stage, beating basically nobody with any decent experience  

Do people in South America really care about the South American Games? I mean, at the time of the European Games really nobody did apart from a few die hard fans, and it never felt like a major competition.. 

Booooooo president of Uganda, booooooooo.

I find it more ridiculous to see somebody uses doping in pool billiards.

Stopped...ran 10 meters...stopped....ran 20 more meters....stopped...."no, just 20 more meters"....stopped again. That's basically me when I go for a run

At the 1-week mark to the Grand Final of the Totallympics Annual International Song Contest 2018, the organizing committee is proud to announce this year official motto. From Algeria to Italy, and Kazakhstan to Venezuela, more than 50 nations have participated at least one time throughout the 10 editions of the contests, with countries representing Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania and the Americas. After having as hosts nations such as Great Britain, Ireland, Lithuania, Mexico and Tunisia, TISC arrives for the first time in South America, as the celebrations will take place in Brazil next weekend.
 
Twice a year, users from around the world reunite on Totallympics in a big celebration of the universal language of music. In the words of the late singer John Denver, "music does bring people together. It allows us to experience the same emotions. People everywhere are the same in heart and spirit. No matter what language we speak, what color we are, the form of our politics or the expression of our love and our faith, music proves: We are the same." That was one of the inspirations for the Brazil 2018 contest official motto "Music connects the world" (Música conecta o mundo, in portuguese), but mostly this is about all the forum members that make this such a special event.
 

And it's much easier to use drugs and stuff there I guess  (not saying that's what happened in this case, but let's be fair, often it is)

You mean how clean the medal winners were in the time athletes had EPO for breakfast, lunch and dinner? Yeah...I'm not really doubting about that  

By the way, just namedropping here, but Helene-Marie Fossesholm is going to be freakishly good. Only 16 years at the moment and basically dominating everything in Norway that's younger than 20. Oh, she only started real competitions in January. 

It was a retirement, but Kathinka von Deichmann won her first ever WTA main draw match! This is also first WTA MD win in singles for  at least on WTA. Von Deichmann won first set in tiebreak before Siegemund retired in the second. The whole tournament in Lugano turned into huge mess due to persistent rain. First round is yet to be finished so the tournament is moved indoors temporarily. 
Not much better situation in Bogota as well. There was also nice surprise. Talented Emiliana Arango of , born in 2000, beat top 100 and decent player Veronica Cepede Royg in three sets for the first WTA win.
