I have read a couple of things and seen these short videos. Something that really catches my attention, doesn't make sense. Why were cops at the ready and followed him from his house to a distant restaurant? Sounds like a weird setup. Middle aged triathlon guy as your target?
Sounds like phone taping to me and trying to bust a network like the guys in Serbia a while ago who made millions selling PEDs to elderly wannabe sporting heroes. Also not illegal in Spanish law to take PEDs but selling and hiding the profits are, if I remember correctly.

Passler isn't giving up without a fight, she's appealing to CAS. The Italian head of Biathlon has also come out quite strongly in her favour.

In an ideal world Italy win tomorrow and hold a WE ARE ALL REBECCA PASSLER banner on the podium.

I guess Sinner didn’t dope either. No Italian that has ever been caught doping has actually doped.

Good to know that Breezy Johnson served 14 months for not registering her whereabouts. Has NBC mentioned that, at all? I am assuming they haven't.

I’m not watching their broadcasts but I’m pretty certain they wouldn’t mention it.

When amphetamine is not good enough, why not top up with some methamphetamine? :eek:
https://ita.sport/news/the-ita-repo...tioned-with-a-5-year-period-of-ineligibility/
The ITA reports that the baseball player Anderson De León was sanctioned with a 5-year period of ineligibility after testing positive for amphetamine, methamphetamine and stanozolol metabolites following an in‑competition doping control conducted on 23 February 2025 during the 2025 World Baseball Classic Qualifiers.

So thats what fake abs look like.

Meanwhile, In Georgia (the country not the state of america)

Dubbed 'Operation Obsidian', the investigation was launched in 2023 and found five instances where players allegedly swapped urine samples to avoid detection.

A Wada statement said that employees of Georgia's national anti-doping agency (Gada) also tipped off players about upcoming tests and that doping control officers failed to properly observe athletes during testing and did not witness urine collection.

Not smart to call the judge and jury corrupt, but we'll put it down to the blood doping -
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/t...s-Marinko-Matosevic-four-year-doping-ban.html
Six weeks after branding the International Tennis Integrity Agency 'corrupt', one-time Australian No.1 Marinko Matosevic has been handed a four-year ban for multiple doping offences.

An independent tribunal determined that Matosevic committed five anti-doping rule violations between 2018 and 2020, including use of a prohibited method through blood doping and facilitating another player to blood dope, providing advice to others on how to avoid positive tests, and use and possession of the prohibited substance clenbuterol.

Matosevic denied all charges throughout the process, until admitting to blood doping in a social media post shortly before the hearing was scheduled to take place.
The confession had bite -
...I am writing this letter to let the tennis world know how corrupt and unjust the ITIA process is.

'They take your phone number under threatening circumstances and make legal cases over photos and text message assumptions that are literally five years old.

'The whole process is corrupt and lacks credibility, as we have seen over the last few years!'

The tribunal dismissed Matosevic's allegations as without merit, and said the ITIA 'acted within the authority conferred' by the Tennis Anti-Doping Protocol (TADP).
Edit add- "Lance" huh? Not very original -
https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/aust...b?cvid=69c507e4649e47e48755f7e2d0b3d0e9&ei=18
“In early 2018, Mr Matosevic travelled to Mexico to compete in an ATP Challenger Tour event in Cuernavaca, Morelos. During this time, he was in regular communication with Player B. Their text messages from February 2018 provided insight into the activities the two engaged in while in Morelos,” the findings state.

“These included attending a clinic, blood doping, making payments to a doctor, whom a friend of Player B had put them in touch with ... and the performance-enhancing effects they experienced.

“Over the following days, Mr Matosevic described experiencing a noticeable upshift in his physical condition, stating that he had practiced [at] full power’ and that training felt unusually easy. These messages occurred during the same period in which both players were present in Morelos, and during which Mr Matosevic competed in the event.”

The doping watchdog also published messages between him and a player eight years ago when the Australian referred to Player B as “Lance”. “We interpret this as referring to Lance Armstrong,” the ITIA said.
