Those cheating Russians

Recommended Posts

Have been banned from the 2020 and 2022 Olympics, as well as some every other events in those years, including the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. 

Quote

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has imposed a four-year ban on Russia using its flag, anthem and team names at Olympic and other major sports events.

WADA's Executive Committee (ExCo) took the decision in Lausanne, Switzerland on Monday after it concluded Moscow had tampered with laboratory data.

The tampering -- prior to and while the data was being forensically copied by WADA -- included planting fake evidence and deleting files linked to positive doping tests that could have helped identify drug cheats. System messages were also fabricated in an effort to hamper the work of WADA investigators.

The WADA ExCo's decision to punish Russia with a ban was unanimous, a spokesman for the agency said. The punishment, however, leaves the door open for clean Russian athletes to compete at major international sporting events without their flag or anthem, as was the case during the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang.

I can already imagine Trump's Twitter condemnation of the World Anti-Doping Agency............

The deep state has spread from the FBI to WADA!  Very unfair what is happening to Russia!  These WADA officials are dispicable characters and should be jailed!

I lived in Russia for a semester and it's a very, very corrupt place. It's part of the culture there to bribe. Bribe the police to get out of a ticket, bribe your teachers to get better grades, bribe the local government if you want something, etc. Like, if you are having surgery you better stuff some orifice of your body full of money or the surgeon won't do a decent job on you. It's a whole different (corrupt) world over there. God bless America

Sounds a lot like the good ole U.S. of A.

We just do it behind closed doors, then smear the guy we bribed.

I think you're a little off base. Most people in America are decent, moral people. Russia is hell on earth and is nothing like America. Socialism ruined that country and spawned the rampant corruption that still prevails today. Big government will do that. Everyone should be forced to go to Russia, rural China, or other socialist or former socialist countries to gain perspective and appreciation for our country. We're in a fight to keep socialism out of our society - socialism and socialist ideas will ruin our society if we allow it. 

While I never lived in Russia, I did live  in Germany for three years during the 80's. While I was not familiar with the day to day issues and problems of that nation, on the surface, a little socialism seemed like a good thing.

Clean streets, reliable and high quality public transit, roadways and bridges in good repair.

But, what do I know,  not being a red meat eating, propaganda believing member of Trumpestan ?

There is a huge difference between democratic socialism and heavy handed communistic socialism as was the case in the Soviet Union.  A point that is lost to Trump supporters so easily triggered by the mere word socialism.

I would get rid of all 3, they are bad inefficient programs that have made the cost of medical care skyrocket.

Let the states deal with these issues, each state knows better what they need than a 1 size fits all for the country.

The federal government should only deal with national issues like international trade, immigration, a predictable legal system, defense, and diplomacy.   The feds should do nothing else.

 We have paid in to help out our parents and grandparents generation. That was backed by the promise it would there when we retire.  The day you get rid of ss and Medicare, just so you can save a few bucks on your taxes, is a day you do not want to see.

We will come and burn you down. Just for sport.

You aren't going to get it anyway, i don't have to take it away.  The country is going to fall under the weight of these programs.

Leftists like you are best at shitting in your own pond.  I wouldn't be surprised at all that in the near future you are burning the property of those who feed you.

Throwing us bones and scraps is not feeding us.

Then again, you have become so caught up in the propaganda and identity politics of Trumpestan, you can't see past the box you have allowed yourself to be put in.
