    Doping in XC skiing

    Btw. how has out of competition testing evolved over the years? Do they test more or less nowadays than for example during Saltin's project?

    Doping in XC skiing

    Why they did not show values of Muhlegg or for example Danilova over time or at SLC? I got the understanding that Muhlegg was not on the list of 19 suspects. Did I understand something wrong? From the papers it seems that blood values started to rise again in 2005/2006 (Torino), but the program...

    Doping in XC skiing

    Other names among the 19 are estonian Jaak Mae and finn Kaisa Varis. Varis is known epo user and there is a lot of rumours around the top estonians. Nationalities of the skiers on the list are norwegian, fin, estonian, russian, german, austrian, belarussian and swiss. So no swedes or italian...

    Doping in XC skiing

    Aukland won that world cup race in Kuopio Finland, november 2011. Norwegians took places 1 - 8 ahead of Elofsson and Muhlegg. According to my bad memory, blood values from that race where mentioned somewehere in this topic or Blodracet.

    Doping in XC skiing

    Numerous times? Only one international level finn has been busted with EPO (Kaisa Varis). According to news Wada is still waiting for some time, until they are releasing the results of Torino 2006 retrospective testing. Rumours about HGH positives (estonians?) are strong, but the scientific...

    Nordic Skiing/Biathlon Thread

    Yesterday it was about schoosing between glide and grip. Skiers had to make compromises. There was no possibility to choose "perfect skis". Three of to four finns favoured glide over grip. Saarinen was the only one that chose grip over glide. Maybe some of the norwegians made the same decision...

    Nordic Skiing/Biathlon Thread

    Björgen bonked first time since 2010? Not nearly the way Jörgen Brink did back in the day, but still a big surprise. Böhler a slight surprise. Weng never seems to get the best out of her in timetrial.

    Nordic Skiing/Biathlon Thread

    Mäkäräinen ws crying after race. She said that her skis were the worst she has ever had in a competition. So her mediocre skiing is quite understandable. Her husband is her waxer / ski techinician so he is probably going to hear not so nice words. Standing shooting was horrible yesterday...

    Nordic Skiing/Biathlon Thread

    Things aren´t looking too good for team Finland. Five skiers named to Sochi will not start this weekend because of health issues. Also Kerttu Niskanen has problems with her ankle although she will start today. Saarinen is the only finn at the women's race who is in fully fit. In men's race the...

    Wada not (yet) publishing positives for HGH

    This could be old news but according to finnish media Wada has several positive test results for HGH. They are not going to publish them until they have full scientifical backbone for their new hgh limits. Wada doesn´t want to go to CAS and loose there anymore so this time they want to...

    Tour de France stage 10: Tuesday, St-Gildas-des-Bois - Saint Malo

    Why on earth didn't Cavendish follow the massive lead that Steegmans was giving? He could have taken the stage. Instead he chose to lurk behind others.
