@@robhansen6745 Ironic that you don't think every country does the same thing. Think about it logically: Russia wins less medals than the US on total, and Russia has a state sponsored doping program. US athletes aren't all more "genetically superior" to Russian athletes, they just get away with doping on a higher scale than even the Russians. The only reason this came to light is because Russia got caught.

They can easily pass by taking a testosterone suspension water base with no ester. Or fast acting esters like an acetate or base. Would be a lot easier to smuggle in your testosterone suspension and take it right after drug test because it has no ester it will be out your system by the end of the day.

So this is just another tactical move of putin.

What does this story tell us when the 34. and 35. place is to blood dopers? Austrian sports chief says „they are just idiots,and these were just single cases as Austria would be too small to create organized doping structures and of course the germans are the bad boys to create this scandal just at the world championships in austria to cause harm „--aha! It tells ME that the first til 33. place must be highly suspicious either!I‘m in cycling and knew what gerolsteiner as a team had to go through as the chief Hans did not know what his team doctor did behind closed doors when he was interviewed every stage evening and telling what he believed were clean riders,so he promoted anti doping while the guys he paid good stebbed in his back. They lie til the end and have ruined our beloved sport.Get those guys out of the bunch,organized doping will end your career plus payback of income,price money,sponsorships etc it is a system failure: too much pressure for results and too many playin dirty tricks,believe me,we are not talking about winning- we are talking about a clean rider getting dropped at the first highway bridge! As soon as it goes uphill more red blood cells will give you significant advantage by 5-8%! So I hope many will get busted so the clean athletes will probably earn few more 💵 dollars

If it's no Doping allowed ? Why WADA says "ilegal substance" ? ANY substance which helps to get a better results in sport is DOPING. Therefore is a list of LEGAL dope and ILEGAL dope but a the end ALL athletes DOPE at the international level. If you just practice and eat regular food....you would be just a regular person. But if you use WADA proved DOPE....you are great and get your medal and the Olympics or any international competitions.
