2019-12-12 at 12:14 AM UTCThey were banned from the last ones too for the same reason IIRC. You'd think they would better research what drugs will pop the tests and which won't.

And you're basing this on...???
Grigory Rodchenkov, former director of Russia's anti doping agency, applied for asylum in the US after spilling the beans on Russian state sponsored doping. It is well documented.

2019-12-12 at 12:39 AM UTCThis is... unsurprising?
FFS, they need to just wise up and recruit a bunch of trannies. Instant world champs. -

http://thesaker.is/are-the-olympics-dead-yet-unraveling-the-doping-scandal/Rodchenkov is the disgraced former head of RUSADA (Russian Anti-Doping Agency). This agency, located in Moscow, was the only WADA-accredited agency in Russia. In other words, WADA explicitly endorsed the methods, standards and authenticity of the results of that lab.
The plot of the real thriller thickens: Rodchenkov was kept on at the Russian Anti-Doping Agency, with the tacit approval of WADA, even after he was charged in 2011 by Russia with selling banned, performance-enhancing substances to his sister, for resale to athletes. She was charged, convicted and jailed in Russia in 2013. Her brother got off the charge by claiming a ‘personality disorder’. Yet, in spite of all the above, WADA kept him on.
And last but not least is Juliya Stepanova herself, who has confessed to using banned substances and to paying Rodchenkov thirty thousand rubles ($1,000US) in 2010 to conceal her positive test results. Stepanova’s husband, Vitaly Stepanov, an anti-doping agent at RUSADA 2008-2011, knew of his wife’s and Rodchenkov’s practices, but told no one until 2015. In June 2016, the Stepanovs admitted receiving help to move to the USA and $30,000US in cash from WADA.
The entire McLaren report is based solely on the testimony of this man. -

Apparently you just need to be a tranny for 4 years and have your testosterone levels under a certain amount for 12 months. Female to male has no restrictions lol.
I wonder how effective this actually is. -

Nothing you posted really changes anything anyway. So he was a part of it. What does that matter? WADA didn't know what was going on. That's why they opened not one, but two investigations. And no, it isn't just based on his word. Read the fucking report you retard. There is objective evidence. Stop relying on blog posts and read actual official documents for a change.

2019-12-12 at 1:37 AM UTCPeople should just plain stop watching the Olympics. It's become nothing more than a political joke. I was in the Junior Olympics as a kid, and won three ribbons, and it was nothing like what we see before us today. The Olympics has become like the Grammy Awards, or the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Nothing but a bunch of pathetic idiots trying to get their political talking points out there, while using their corrupted and hijacked institutions as the medium.
