Which of my quotes lack accuracy in your opinion?

Please dont derail this thread by discussing forum-history guys. Thor has had some really awkward quotes to the press lately, more than enough to support the general sentiment of the early posts of this thread, stuff like: -"Norwegians have been so naive", while he himself didn't think Lance...

I beleive Froome must respond better to the next generation PEDs than others, possibly due to that sickness.

I guess this is only interesting for norwegians but two things have happened since the last post in this thread: * Christina and her brother has had their own private press conference stating their full support of their father/coach saying that he would never cheat and so on. * The day after a...

As a follower of XC-skiing I'd say we've seen a transformation in the sport the last ten years. This might be because of more bunch starts, but a single rider dominating others is not as usual as before is it? The way Northug wins seems more legit than the way the norwegian skiers of 90's and...

Fair enough :) Sorry if I come over as angry, that's not the intention :) Those were real questions, I wasn't sure if she was injured or not. Im not confident, I wrote "I guess" for a reason, it's a guess.

Their coach has basically been caught cheating, and has been their coach all their life. I dont care if he is their dad or not? Any athlete that has been trained by someone for a long time who has administered doping for any athlete should suspended untill cleared. Based on those emails it...

I didnt realize the dates of the emails, Im sorry about that. Still think both Vlad and Christina should be suspended for the time being.

How to cheat and not get caught This is what's happened: So Petar Vukicevic, the coach and father of norwegian hurdler Christina Vukicevic, has been caught(bitter ex-wife) sending some emails back and forth with Merlene Otter's coach Srdjan Djordjevic. The emails, published with some names...

And they trained together a lot (I went to school close to their training grounds). And the emails that have been published contains info about an athlete that doped without getting caught (the name hasn't been revealed yet). The coach daddy Vukicevic corresponded with seems like a busy guy...

This is the way to go forward. The current stance of "Innocent until proven guilty" in the sports world does not work. We've had deaths, extortion attempts etc. because of this stance. Suspending an innocent rider from events isn't half as bad for the sport(or the rider) as what happened when...

This twitter conversation including the norwegian union president(@htiedemand), the sponsorship guru Jacob Lund(@sponsorconsult) and Mads Kaggestad(@MadsKaggestad) was quite interesting, so I translated it for you guys. It all started with this tweet: Mads Kaggestad: Very good...

Because he: A) Still supports McQuaid, the guy who ACTIVELY worked against the Armstrong investigation and critical journalists B) Has been the president while two of his sport leaders have been actively hiding information about doping in cycling C) Does not want to prosecute Kjærgaard or...

The president of the Norwegian Cycling Federation should resign ASAP.

Boa just did an interview with NRK (the public tv-channel here) where he described why he chose to be anonymous when he warned about the doping culture 16 years ago: http://www.nrk.no/sport/sykkel/1.8370266 ...omerta
