    Doping in XC skiing

    Re: Re: Hmm, thanks for the info. It could also be that Lenes just didn't want the hastle. Accusing others of cheating was and still is considered bad sportsmanship in Norway. Unless one has evidence of course. IIRC from what I have read later, Lundemos accusation was not received well in...

    He apparently had some stomach problems. Ce la vie. Speaking of French. Congratulations France! Jouve kept his cool and delivered superbly. It's impressive how that team kept it together to give Jouve a chance in the last leg.

    Doping in XC skiing

    Re: Re: It was not against the rules then so it's not surprising that someone could walk in on them. No need to be so secretive about it.

    Good catch by the cops. It becomes a bit more difficult to hide doping when wiretaps and surveillance video can be used by the Police. I doubt it was a coincidence that Hauke was caught in the act. Disappointed with Poltoranin. But I always knew he was in the high risk group. :sad:

    Gratz to Sweden! The next gen girls are really asserting themselves now. I was hoping they would wait until next year to reach this level. Oh well.

    Looks like the Israelis are in a bit of a pickle regarding Iran being in Syria. I'm not sure the Russians have that much sway, or will put that much pressure on Iran unless Israel makes it worth it to them. Perhaps if they got something in return they might do something. Perhaps they have some...

    Dang, Maaaaaarten, you got the last word. If you don't like torture you might wanna read about AL Khiam prison. Run by SLA IIRC under guidance of Israeli military intelligence. The Norwegian UN battalion was in that area for about 20 years, and they saw Israeli officers coming and going, and...

    Those Asian migrants can go home. The Palestians can't. Palestinian Kids are regularly shot for throwing stones. Unarmed protesters some times end up dead protesting.

    Re: Re: Most of these laws are usually commuted by the government. But they have not been occupying and colonizing other peoples land since 1967. They also don't have one legal standard for a certain ethnic group and another for an other ethnic group. And they also don't claim to be democracies.

    I view Israel as worse than the UAE, Bahrain and Kazakhstan. I tried to watch the race today, but I feel dirty for doing so. So I'm keeping myself away away from the telly until they leave Israel.
