    Doping in XC skiing

    Based on active participation, of course... I guess that's the case in most countries. Based on viewership and general interest is another thing.

    Doping in XC skiing

    I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but in Norway XC-skiing is the most popular sport - narrowly beating biathlon. Just read here: http://sport.aftenposten.no/sport/langrenn/article267740.ece

    March 19: Milan - San Remo 2011 298km

    Can't imagine that he will just wait in the peloton and deliver Haussler or Farrar. I'm sure he has plans to try something for himself as well. I think his biggest opportunity is to follow attacks up and down Poggio, and if it doesn't come to something, he can work for Haussler/Farrar.

    Thor has "never seen doping"

    It's omerta? On another note, Hushovd rode for a "crappy" french team that spoke against doping for nearly ten years as a pro, and Norway doesn't have the same doping culture as several other countries longer south in Europe. But it seems unlikely that hasn't seen anything throughout his long...

    UCI World Championships 2010, Geelong: Early Thread

    The Norwegian team for the WC is rumoured to be Hushovd, Boasson Hagen and Kristoff. Three sprinters... Not that it matters, because I don't think any of them will be the in the first group anyway, but Arvesen has always been in form in the WC and Nordhaug has been strong the entire season in...
