Re: The doping program joke of the ITF!!!
it seems WADA are in way over their head,almost like the home office vs the backlog of the immigration problem
there is definitely some incriminating activity going on because its impossible that all those athletes needed those exact particular drugs where their "medical condition" couldnt be cured or helped by other drugs that didnt happen to give them an edge at the same time too

Re: The doping program joke of the ITF!!!
Well.. yes! Now that is what I find absolutely disgraceful! A clear intent of allowing cheaters and then try to look clean by preventing a drug suddenly which was perfectly fine for decades?

Re: The doping program joke of the ITF!!!
ITF is a total joke.
This is the latest from their boss s. miller:
=================================
"If you had endless money, you would test every athlete for every substance on every day of the year,” Miller told Outside the Lines, and added that “if there is use that we haven't detected, yeah, of course I am frustrated.”
=======================================
Moaning about the lack of money to catch dopers, yet hiding those he did catch.
Seriously, it's nit healthy to read about this any more...

Re: The doping program joke of the ITF!!!
Just had a good discussion with someone who works at the ITF and says that the ITF and ATP used to hate each other. It'st a bit better now but the ITF certainly only gets the money from players and the DC nowdays.
Problems is that it's those big players that bring the money (and the crowd) first.
Anyway, It's easy for us to blame but they are facing real financial issues and make do the way they can. It became "professional" sport...so after that the hell let loose.

Re: The doping program joke of the ITF!!!
Has anyone seen the interview of Alexander Zverev on the ATP web site?
He is going to stop early this year to get "prepared and put more muscles again" for next year!!!
http://www.atpworldtour.com/
Isn't that a clear admission of doping?
Scary!!!

this reminds me of summer '15 when I talked to Rublev at Roehampton, he told me the same thing : I need to put the muscles on. He sounded almost at his ends wits.
I fell so sorry for him at the time.
he clearly still looks very skinny so not sure what happened.
he is a better player than Zverev and I understand his frustration in matches.

He is the new Nadal to me minus Nadal's natural great movement and relentlesness style.
I can never warm up to someone who muscles the ball.
I know you put Nole in the same basket woth them , but they are not the same.

Yes, they are happy to sacrifice the "beurocrats" but not the "stars".
At least Armstrong returned all his trophies...

They are very much the same if anything Murray may more skills but decided not to use them so less gutsy. The problem with Murray is that he bet too much on the physical side to compensate for lack of guts. But that's not to say Djoko is gutsier. Djoko is simply better built for tennis. The perfect (so far) "counter-puncher".
He lost clearly many slams finals cause he lacked the guts to attack. He says it himself about his last slam final loss.
I think he can certainly still end up the year as number one but once again the pressure will get to him. I'd like to be proven wrong on this one as Murray I don;t think Murray is worthy of a number 1 either.

Re: The doping program joke of the ITF!!!
Yes, I agree with all you said.
For me now is to see who emerges as the next "dominator".
The new generation who are all more or less 10 years younger than Nole and Murray have almost caught up, and that is impressive.
Next year if Fed and Nadal play will be really interesting with such a big age gap among players. (15-16 years?)
It may be quite an interesting year with all up in the air for grabs.
I feel the only thing stopping the young ones now is lack of experience in week two of slams and stamina.
So the next year should be a bridge to span the remaining gap.
And I still think Pouille comes closest, not because of age, but because of his game.
Zverev is younger but was on tour parallel to Pouille, so I see them as the same generation in that respect.
We thought Coroc would be the new RR, bit it looks like it will be Zverev, though he has weapons.

Indeed they were, however like so many organisations that when 'failings' are exposed years down the line, it's the incoming that cop all the PR flack and spend their tenure fire fighting!

Interesting article. In french unfortunately but may find an english version. In short it says there is no link between hard training and success in sport.!!!
Reminds me what Nadal once said: I don;t go to the gym, I don;t train hard......I guess when you have "alternative solutions" you may want to keep your energy for the real competition.

Yes I saw that. 1000 athletes doping in Russia......sounds about right.
I'd say that would be a strict minimum in every "main" country.

Re: The doping program joke of the ITF!!!
managed to see the program.. short but really interesting.. definitely worth seeing
wadas decision was based solely on the athlete and her husbands whistleblowing testimony
although a lot of the evidence had already been destroyed
its also interesting to note that wada didn't take notice of them trying to expose the scandal until the video footage was shown on german tv.
so basically they had to
didn't look like there was anything political about this,if the athlete and her anti doping husband didn't decide to expose what was going on,i reckon Russian athletes would never have been banned from competing at the Olympics and they would still be carrying on with their state sponsored doping

Re: The doping program joke of the ITF!!!
But that's what annoys me. You have a couple of traitors utilised for political gain against Russia.
It is a political war whether you want to believe it or not.
the fact is as systemic doping might be in Russia it is not as efficient as in the UK or US.
I like to stick to facts.

you sound just like some of those Russians on the program.. the athlete and her husband were " traitors" for exposing the truth instead of being heros for standing up for fairness in sport.at least the program showed that there were some Russians who believed that they did the right thing
sure she was a doper herself but it would have to take one to tear the system down
I don't think that this started out as a political war but could potentially have become political once the opportunity arose
so what are the fact then tenez?

There is an Omerta already. It just happens that the Western press found 2 idiots to have another go at Russia. Easy to find really. I am sure Russia could find or buy similar idiots giving them clues on how it works over here.

Re: The doping program joke of the ITF!!!
C'mon Vee. Be serious! If I see the crime is committed in the first place because there are worst hypocritical offenders out there, I would certainly not report it.Veejay wrote:if you saw a crime being committed wouldn't you report it? especially if it has massive implications and you had the ability to change things and stand up for what you believe inTenez wrote:But as you agree (I believe) that most athletes dope...why would you give in your compatriots and colleagues knowing the other countries are no different if not worse?
let me give you another example: If you see a poor person stealing an egg to survive to a rich fat cat who made his fortune on enslaving other people, you would still report the egg snatcher? Of course I am not comparing the poor thief to Russia but I want to give you a perspective on doing what's right and wrong. Life is not that simple.
Well it does to me. very much so! It's all about circumstances.it doesn't matter if everyone else is potentially committing the crime,that shouldn't prevent someone from reporting a crime just because everyone else may be committing it too
And the funny thing is that you are supporting one of the greatest cheat ever knowing she is a cheat. So your moral values are certainly very adaptable!I can understand that not everyone will share my point of view,hence the reason why so many athletes try to cheat

As I showed once, most of WADA and other anti-doping agencies are sponsored by NATO countries. In view of the TUEs scandal I call this NATO sponsored doping!

Re: The doping program joke of the ITF!!!
stop making excuses for being caught doping tenez
you did it with maria sharapova and now youre doing it with the Russians
the Russians were caught and proven to be guilty and while I am suspicious of serena and have called her out on her TUE's and potential doping,she unlike the Russians or maria Sharapova has not been caught ( yet or publicly) doping and banned because of it
if I saw serena doping and had proof that she was doping,i would report it,same goes for Federer
no athlete is bigger then the game for me
I'm pointing the finger at those who are guilty and have been found guilty,not defending them like you are just because of your bias pro Russian,pro putin anti-western political stance
stop pointing the finger everywhere else but the actual culprit
a crime is a crime doesnt matter about the circumstances
pretty thieves go to jail,doesnt matter if they stole because they are homeless or hungry..the law doesn't excuse that kind of stealing so why should the same principle not apply to doping

so if the americans or athletes from nato countries were busted with state sponsored doping and banned from competing from the Olympics,would you also be as sympathetic towards them,claiming that they only did it to earn a living and survive in a doping culture and due to those circumstances excuse their cheating,or would the circumstances not suit your political point of view or agenda?Tenez wrote:Veejay wrote:of course there is possibility that athletes from those countries are doping,but does that automatically mean that its state sponsored doping and that it would include most athletes from every team?Tenez wrote:Veejay wrote:Tenez wrote:But that's what annoys me. You have a couple of traitors utilised for political gain against Russia.
It is a political war whether you want to believe it or not.
the fact is as systemic doping might be in Russia it is not as efficient as in the UK or US.
I like to stick to facts.
you sound just like some of those Russians on the program.. the athlete and her husband were " traitors" for exposing the truth instead of being heros for standing up for fairness in sport.at least the program showed that there were some Russians who believed that they did the right thing
sure she was a doper herself but it would have to take one to tear the system down
I don't think that this started out as a political war but could potentially have become political once the opportunity arose
so what are the fact then tenez?
The facts are that US and UK are the new GDR (Eastern Germany) or the new Spain? They win everything which requires very physical performance (Cycling, tennis, swimming, track and long distance running....)...all this without doping against State sponsors dopers like Russians?
Let's be serious!
while I have no doubt that athletes from countries are potentially protected,apart from spain,there isn't enough for me to suggest that the government could be involved in actually doping the athletes too.i will maintain that opinion until proven otherwise
As I showed once, most of WADA and other anti-doping agencies are sponsored by NATO countries. In view of the TUEs scandal I call this NATO sponsored doping!
should the whistlebloweing traitors also have shut up.i.e.omerta?

Re: The doping program joke of the ITF!!!
Clearly you do not understand the political war going on between NATO and Russia/China.
Nowadays we are the agressors. If I lived in post WW2 Russia, I probably woudl have been a Russian dissident. Now the situation is reversed. I feel, like more and more of us in the West actually, have to temper this American imperialism. Through Trump or Brexit you have an emergence of anti-US imperialism which had led to millions of dead people and chaos in the ME, now spreading to Europe.

Re: The doping program joke of the ITF!!!
i can understand that you feel very passionately about that,and you have every right to.but youre letting that cloud your judgement on this particular subject
if you want to talk about that start a thread downstairs,lets just stick to doping here
you didn't answer my question which was:
so if the americans or athletes from nato countries were busted with state sponsored doping and banned from competing from the Olympics,would you also be as sympathetic towards them,claiming that they only did it to earn a living and survive in a doping culture and due to those circumstances excuse their cheating,or would the circumstances not suit your political point of view or agenda?

Do you really think that could happen?
We in Serbia have a great saying from the times of Turkish/Ottoman occupation: "Kadija te tuzi, kadija ti sudi", which translated means the same person/institution is both accusing and judging you.
There are two sets of rules: one for "us" and one for "them".
Biggest war criminals and warmongers will never be tried at the war crime tribunal in the Hague.
Why?
Because NATO own the court and have created it for the sole purpose of judging and suppressing everyone who stands in their path.
Same with WADA.

Exactly.

but yet here you are complaining about one set of rules for 1 and aother set of rules for the other
while tenez is saying that he doesn't like hypocrisy...
what you both fail to see and the point I'm trying to make is that it should be consistent throughout regardless of nationality
but you and tenez have always made the doping argument political
yes it is unfair that the Russians happen on the wrong side but that doesn't excuse them trying to cheat,and if you want to feel sympathetic to dopers,then you should also on the flip side feel sympathetic to the americans,but that's never going to happen eh?

Re: The doping program joke of the ITF!!!
The doping argument has always been political though more now than then.
Already back in the 90s, Agassi or Carl Lewis would be protected wheres Ben Johnson or Korda would be given in.
We do not want anyone doping but when the dopers are not athletes but a Nation...it confirms what we have ben saying. It's political.

The whole studio stinks from overuse of pretentious perfume of of cultured civility.
It's funny to see how the French do it.
We Serbs don't wear gloves.

Re: The doping program joke of the ITF!!!
it only becomes political when the ones on the wrong side who are far more likely to be exposed then the ones on the right side are used for a political agenda
I don't believe that it starts out politically because you get dopers from every country
the Russians decided to get their government involved,the state paid for it and set up the doping programs
while I would think that athletes in the u.k ( as an example) are very likely to be protected,or a massive cover up by the government with a far greater chance to get away with it because they are on the right side of things,i don't think its the same as state sponsored doping
