No one questioned the 800 hours. Perhaps you do not want to understand the point I was making? :rolleyes: Since Kalla was already above 800 hours when she herself stated that she would increase her training load in order to catch up with the norwegians, it is obviously quite possible that she's...

Not sure where you got 600 h from. http://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/vintersport/skidor/article16301487.ab Kalla was above 800 h (830) in 2013 and said she would increase her training load. You may have noticed she stepped up a level since then. 2013 was arguably her worst season and...

From an interview with norwegian anti-doping researcher Yvette Dehnes: I assume she is referring to this study. Detection of recombinant EPO in blood and urine samples with EPO WGA MAIIA, IEF and SAR-PAGE after microdose injections...

Nothing? But GW and AICAR are detectable.

Weng celebrating 2nd place in a random World Cup race as if it was an olympic gold medal. :D It was a close, exciting and unpredictable race behind Marit who won comfortably. But the men's individual starts are turning into a joke. Krogh won in ?stersund because he ski sucked Manificat for a...

Dyrhaug: Northug was boasting about his elevated hemoglobin (following an altitude camp) at the norwegian championships. http://www.adressa.no/100Sport/langrenn/article488554.snd Lance-esque. Northug was dope tested twice in one week at his private pre-worlds altitude camp in...

I guess once OOC in 2015 sounds a bit worse than once OOC in a period of six weeks.

dukoff approves of Therese's epic body fat %.

Alleged training hours of some XC skiers. Bjorgen: 900-1000 h [1] Johaug: 900-1000 h [1] Used to be over 1000 but reduced to 900 ("I'll go down a little in quantity, and focus more on having quality at every session") [4] Kalla: 830 h in 2012-13. Probably increased since then ("I need...

Only a fool would think Johaug and Jabocsen could go from 1-2 to ~30th in 3 days due to "chemistry". You were just as bright last year when a relay team consisting of 3 girls who won individual medals in Sochi and the TdS runner up were beaten by the french nobodies. It wasn't a ski prep issue...

Makarainen with an early start would have been interesting.

I don't think it's possible to draw any clinic related conclusions based on this joke of a race.

Johaug and Jacobsen are obviously in great form. You really are shockingly thick if you do not realize that ski prep in combination with the drastic change in conditions was the issue today (although Bjorgen and Weng are probably not in TdS form).

Congratulations on completely avoding to adress the point I made. :o I'm swedish btw. But not silly enough to think Kalla, Hellner and Olsson can beat the best skiing talents in Norway if they are at a 3-5% disadvantage. Your position is illogical.

The notion that the norwegians are doped and gaining "3-5%" (Discgear) but Kalla, Hellner, Halfvarsson and Olsson are clean is obviously ludicrous. The norwegian talent pool is much larger, so if you give the best talents they can muster a 3-5% advantage, it is highly unlikely that any swede...
