Russian doping

When a lot of dollars are invovled, people use PED's

I know the general public loves to hide their head in the sand, but if someone is half way intelligent it becomes very difficult to do this.

We all know russians are cheaters, but multi billion dollar US sports industry is clean. That is some great logic ( insert heavy sarcasm).

The director of Russia’s antidoping laboratory at the time of the Sochi Games said urine samples were surreptitiously replaced by somehow breaking into supposedly tamper-proof bottles.

</header>LOS ANGELES — Dozens of Russian athletes at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, including at least 15 medal winners, were part of a state-run doping program, meticulously planned for years to ensure dominance at the Games, according to the director of the country’s antidoping laboratory at the time.


The director, Grigory Rodchenkov, who ran the laboratory that handled testing for thousands of Olympians, said he developed a three-drug cocktail of banned substances that he mixed with liquor and provided to dozens of Russian athletes, helping to facilitate one of the most elaborate — and successful — doping ploys in sports history.
It involved some of Russia’s biggest stars of the Games, including 14 members of its cross-country ski team and two veteran bobsledders who won two golds.


In a dark-of-night operation, Russian antidoping experts and members of the intelligence service surreptitiously replaced urine samples tainted by performance-enhancing drugs with clean urine collected months earlier, somehow breaking into the supposedly tamper-proof bottles that are the standard at international competitions, Dr. Rodchenkov said. For hours each night, they worked in a shadow laboratory lit by a single lamp, passing bottles of urine through a hand-size hole in the wall, to be ready for testing the next day, he said.


By the end of the Games, Dr. Rodchenkov estimated, as many as 100 dirty urine samples were expunged.
None of the athletes were caught doping. More important, Russia won the most medals of the Games, easily surpassing its main rival, the United States, and undermining the integrity of one of the world’s most prestigious sporting events.

This wasnt the first time. It wont be the last time

This shouldn't come as a shock, the reason Americans first found out about steroids is the Russian weightlifting coach got drunk and told the US coach he had been giving his athletes either Dianabol or Test suspension can't remember which.

Very true as yellow snow said PED's will always be there when big money is involved.

I just am sad that something that is used so much by so many people is so demonized.
