All hopes that kettlebell lifting was a clean sport dashed. And powerlifting for the blind, freestyle wrestling for the deaf...

What's with Barca, and big heads ?
We know Messi took (probably still takes, since Barca won't answer the question if his "treatments" are continuing) HGH.

I'd LOVE to see them test NBA and MLB players like they test cyclists.

I bet most of the NFL is doped up. Oh my, that would be the day. I'd love to see how angry all the NFL nutjob fans get when they realize they're watching cheaters.

Oh wait, people wear around jerseys of sexual predators. Why would they care if the same dude is doping?

Here's a great story about the way a very large college assisted their athletes maintain GPA eligibility. They made up classes and grades.

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/23/s...=Full&region=Marginalia&src=me&pgtype=article

This is not isolated to one school in the U.S. either. Unfortunately, they are the only ones who have gotten caught.

Having played Div. I sports on a scholarship and having graduated in four years, but getting beaten up in classes like calculus, physics, and chemistry (no "Rocks for Jocks" for me) this type of thing makes my blood boil. I worked for four years as well. And graduated on time.

It's pure insanity to me that major men's b-ball and football are allowed to exist on major university campuses. INSANE. They're so darn corrupt. 110 guys who have ZERO interest being on a college campus. And 15 who never even attend classes because they play 40 games a year.

It'll never happen, but I want the NBA and NFL to fund their own feeder leagues. Make it like European soccer. If you want to go pro, you leave school and go to an academy.

It truly drives me crazy that I played a sport I loved for the passion, worked my tail off in the classroom AND held a student job and there are these other "student" athletes who are on campus solely to a) play a sport b) rob, beat up, and rape other students.

Every single day there is a new cheating scandal out of major college football. It's sickening.

Both of the biggest Spanish newspapers, AS and Marca, called UEFA drug testers "Vampires" today.

Reason for AS and Marca attack was UEFA having the nerve to surprise dope test Ronaldo and Messi this week, rather than, er, calling ahead.

Messi even took to instagram to show his annoyance at this surprise blood test this week. Obviously can't happen often, then.

To make the whole AS and Marca attack on UEFA dopers even more ridiculous, most samples taken from Real and Barca were only urine.

Did UEFA or any of the other associations ever make any effort to stop the blood seized from Fuentes lab being destroyed ?

They had cast iron evidence of doping & couldn't be bothered trying to put names on the cheats

Thanks for posting. Welcome to the real world where there's a second and third and ... levels of corruption. Worst of all is the number of people rewarded for it.

In the story I posted, the giant university claimed only two people ran the program. Uh huh. Yeah. It's the functional equivalent of the IOC's "lone athlete dopes" story line when in fact, the IOC, UCI, IAAF are enabling the doping on an enormous scale.

The only thing you can do is be satisfied with your efforts. Frankly, you should be very proud of your work. I'd encourage you to follow these stories and contribute to them if you can.

acromegaly. there is a natural spectrum, and the more hgh you take, either exogenous like they used to, or the new peptides to stimulate your own endogenous hgh from your own pituitary, you will move along the spectrum. The simian brow, or frontal bossing of the brow. the elongated jaw. or, more accurately, "more growth, enlargening of the brow, more growth, enlargening elongating the jaw".

This might not be the right thread for this but former senior USA Track and Field coach just got an 8 year sanction for his role in doping Tyson Gay.

Some background that makes cycling look pretty average:
http://dailyrelay.com/drummond-suing-gay-tygart-need-prove/

Drummond not only acted as Gay’s coach through the 2012 season, but was the US relay coach at the 2012 Olympics and is the chair of USA Track & Field’s Athletes Advisory Committee.

Senior National Track and Field performance coach doping athletes. Just like one aspect of Russia's corruption. Another national doping program.

Here's one of many links announcing the ban.

A big piece of news is that Tyson Gay had HGH with him before he got to Drummond in 2012. Somehwere in the case there is an explanation that he brought it with him when he relocated.

http://asklaurenfleshman.com/2014/12/2014-usatf-annual-meeting-recap/

To open the USATF Annual Meeting, Stephanie Hightower, the President of USATF, made a speech that included references to how we need to end the divisiveness among us and work together. This is of course in reference to all the bad blood stirred up at indoor USA’s with Gabe Grunewald and Andrew Bumbalough’s botched DQ’s, the Alberto Salazar anger management thing that went un-punished, the TFAA being an annoyance, and then the 26 year NIke contract signed in secrecy with no communication with the AAC (athletes advisory committee).

The bolded is exactly what every sport needs. Big money contracts signed in secrecy.

And then the CEO tells athletes...
CEO Max Siegel made similar comments to “getting on board” back in June when he met with the athletes in the TFAA, although he openly discouraged us from speaking out to the media, saying it makes USATF look bad and therefore makes it harder to get sponsors for USATF.

The whole post is good. Very much worth the time to read if you want to get an idea of what sports administration is like.

Doping With EPO and Passing Tests Appears to Be Pretty Easy if You Believe Mo Trafeh As He Passed 21 Drug Tests While On EPO

LetsRun.com might be onto something here...

And in this moment of clarety they start sniffing around Martin Fagan too. But he only took EPO at a sole occasion in late 2011, because he was so depressed, and wanted to be caught.

I thought this was interesting, as it well demonstrates that many differences between past and present performances are not doping related at all, while others may very well be (and in many cases certainly are).

Non-doping differences should be obvious.
