General Doping Thread.

[Sciatic]

Just listened to the ARD podcast about it. So bottom line is - we are all fine with state-doping of Chinese swimmers that have and will soon win medals at Olympics but shun individuals that don’t either have the resources or protection (nation, team, status) to play the system. Anti Doping is hard inherently because you are on the chase/reactive, but with politics involved, its a lost cause.

And Russia must always be the bad guy.

Yep, them there Putin, he's the worst! Just wait until US is number 1 on the medals table, that'll show him and put a stop to his shenanigans in the Ukraine.

Richard Virenque carrying the Olympic Torch. Is he still a popular figure in France, on par with Jalabert?

Not funny at all. But very sad. The French always complaining about cycling "à deux vitesses". Suggesting their (clean) riders have to compete against doped/medical prepared riders from abroad. While the French were during the sixties, seventies, eighties, nineties, beginning of this century among the most doped riders. Amongst Virenque. The French make fools of themselfes letting Virenque carry the olympic flame.

You know like a thousand people end up carrying the flame for a short distance on way to Paris?
