Can't you just see the chief Norwegian doc slapping her on the hand?BullsFan22 said:

To make a long story short, the Swedish Olympic committee did in fact refuse to share the information because they were concerned that others might take it out of context. With so many people trying to interpret things in the most negative way, I can't say I blame them for being paranoid. On the other hand, best medical practices are supposed to be open and shared freely. But their counterattacks against the commission seem unnecessary and strange if not downright petty and childish.
They have seemed very defensive in this case without me quite seeing why.

- That our medics give verbal feedback, attend meetings in Oslo, that SOC (Swedish Olympic Committee) is welcoming the Norwegian Ski Federation and the Norwegian Olympic committee in Stockholm and that we are ready to present a public document, is hardly to say no, or being secretive. However, we are careful in how we deliver our documentation and how it’s used, to prevent it’s not being taken out of context.
- And please write that SOC finds several conclusions in the report totally baroque in comparison with SOCs own view on medicine, sports and ethics. In addition, the report looks very much like a partisan work, ordered by the Norwegian Ski Federation.
true. but his outward behavior towards the one who just beat him continues to stand in sharp contrast with many norges. he and serhey had a genuine-looking hand shake and even a hug...martin also refused to join the self-righteous chorus on many occasions. could be he's just smart to look humble. could be genuine...at least he's not like northug running his mouth when his legs dont deliver. i mean his comment after the matveva/stina fall that if she tested for epo she should not have been at the vm...the *** forgot that if one drives drunk, lies and runs away from the scene, such a *** should not be eligible for another driving license...Discgear said:
Every since she got that TUE to use asthma medication just prior to the 2010 Vancouver Games she's been lights out. I don't know what's going on, but it's rather peculiar for one person to be that much better than everyone else, and for so long! Keep in mind the second best female skier over that period, who's also younger, recently got busted for using PEDs.BullsFan22 said:
One of the most disturbing things with the "independent" investigation about medical practice within the Norwegian XC-team was that the committee didn't consider TUEs at all. That's inconceivable considering the statements after Johnsrud Sundby verdict: no doping, just an administrative problem, forgot to apply for a TUE.... and so on.Pazuzu said:Every since she got that TUE to use asthma medication just prior to the 2010 Vancouver Games she's been lights out.

You are definitely right that there was an official inquiry in 1983-1985 on the missing blood bags that vanished from a Finnish hospital in 1974, 1975 and 1978, but the doctor involved who was mentioned wasn't Tapio Videman, even though the doctor involved was affiliated with some Finnish cross-country skiers from late 1960s onwards.ToreBear said:

too. The only sensible explanation to me is that FIS has more information than is official in the report. Otherwise this seems totally unfair.

What is she?,,, 36 going on 37? And still she dominates! I thought athletes were supposed to slow down by their mid-30s. Guess she's what you'd call an outlier. A freak of nature. An anomaly. A one of a kind.....BullsFan22 said:
