If they sit long enough they can then say "that was then, things have changed..."

I assume this would happen in France, meaning the blood that's in Spain will never need to be touched. It's odd how aside from Murray, the others of the Big 4 seemed to drop off around the Olympics in 2012. It will be good to see how they cope in Brasil

I believe, that most footballers use drugs more for recovery rather than increased preformance over 90 minutes...

That's an oxymoron. The whole point of recovery is to perform better over 90 minutes.

That's an oxymoron. The whole point of recovery is to perform better over 90 minutes.

And indeed, there is in most sports far more use of drugs to increase training capacity and speed recovery times in between events, than increase performance specifically in events. This is the main reason for out-of-competition testing, whereabouts rules etc. etc.

Sakho suspended for 30 days prior to proper sanction. Basically, get the Euros where he plays for the host nation, then will get a full ban after, if at all.

Before today there was only one WADA-accredited lab in Africa. Now there are none, following the suspension of accreditation until 30 September 2016.

At least 4* Russian Gold medalists at Sochi were doping:

*I'd be more surprised if any were not

Thread deviation alert.

Can anybody post a link to a short Dutch documentary (probably five or six years old) about Lance Armstrong? It may have been by NOS. It featured some American bike shop, Paul Kimmage, American journalists, and some comments about Lance's cancer fund-raising.
I just can't find it again. Thank you.

WADA wants Kenya to be declared non-compliant, which could lead to them being excluded from the Rio Olympics. I find it difficult to believe that that the IOC will ultimately kick Kenya out - I guess some kind of deal will be done to allow them to stay in.
