It was a farce banning them then letting them back in under an different name… now this….. they need banning full stop for a decade or two. No compromise. Imagine if a burglar got convicted and sentenced and he just changed his name and the courts let him out?….
Any athlete that wins a speed/power/endurance sport medal is almost 100% guaranteed to be on something. Hell, even skill based sports like archery the medal winners are probably doping with mental stimulants to improve their focus and accuracy.
She’s 15 and she does figure skating. What possible performance enhancing drug can she have taken I suppose if it does improve endurance you could kinda argue benefit. But seriously the Russians have to be tested prior to the games to avoid this, why is this just being reported now? Looks a bit of a weird one as they introduced rules around specific testing for them to avoid this. Either someone has ****ed this up, or we are seeing politics in sport. Embarrassing for the Olympic committee that something like this could happen. Couldn’t organise a piss in a brewery.
The problem is the sample was from December. How does this result come out just as she wins a competition in February?
I think the more pertinent question isn’t if they are cheating. It’s more are they going to cause world war 3?
Dont buy into that absolute horseshit buddy The only ones desperate for war are the west - I say west but it appears to be the US and ourselves. Ukraine seem to think so too. This is about energy supply etc.
China are involved apparently and they are siding with the Russians. I don’t have a scooby what is happening. Why are 100k Russian troops readying to attack.
Or more relevantly why are Russia trying to tell Ukraine and NATO that the Ukraine can’t join NATO? If Ukraine, an independent country, wish to join NATO or not and whether NATO wish to agree Ukraine’s application to join or not this should have nothing to do with Russia. That is what the crux of the issue is, not energy supply.
pouchy will tell you they are just carrying out exercises and nothing more…. hitler was just carrying out exercises too on the Polish border in 1939 apparently…
its a land grab by a bully who needs a distraction from the domestic issue of his country being ****ed up. This is the guy who, at the end of his final legal term in power changed the rules unilaterally to allow himself to rule in perpetuity…. This has also happened in Beijing. it also happened in Berlin in the 30’s.
You guys are funny. The Russians tell you they don’t want war. The Ukrainian’s say they that the West are causing the issue, and they are the subject of the supposed war. But because your government tells you it’s the Russians, you believe them You’ve watched too many BBC newsreels and been brainwashed instead of thinking for yourselves.
Largely political posturing mate. The Ukraine have already told the West to deescalate. The Russians are in dialogue with Ukraine and European counterparts. The UK and US seem to have other intentions so are using bully boy tactics. It won’t lead to war, whatever they are really squabbling about will be resolved. There will be no war however much the US and UK try to goad them.
So are you saying Russia are not objecting to Ukraine joining NATO? If you aren’t then what has it got to do with Russia? If you are..
No I’m not. Are you aware of the reason why Russia are objecting to the them joining NATO from a Russian perspective? If you are not then educate yourself instead of regurgitating western news. If your start point is “Russians and Putin are evil”, you are frankly a moron.
