New FANCY BEARS: McLaren Report lacked evidence

IOC is belatedly doing its job. Maybe it will cancel Rio results due to "missing" Russians demanded by USA/WADA (Canada). Unfortunately they have turned sport into politics.

You have to be more inventive. Westerners prefer indirect evidence these days.

Bullshit.

The coverage on this is underwhelming. Not surprising Westerners don't care about rights of Russians.

People who understand politics outside of track had been making remarks here and at other sites since this all started. It served a dual purpose, demonizing Putin / Russia, as they are hated for rightfully going after the oligarchs who looted Russia. These men were aided by their good friend Larry Summers in the US, who's part of their tribe of course. This is why Summers is scared crapless to travel to Europe, lest he be picked up, taken to Russia and put on trial for his criminal activities. This would be a good thing, as he is as vile as the oligarchs themselves whom Putin never should have released from prison. All they've done since is return to Israel and make death threats and openly state their ambitions to again loot Russia and collapse the economies of Europe.

The other purpose was to keep people's attention off the increasing evidence of officials doing as much as possible to allow certain athletes and individuals to dope in order to fulfill goals of social conditioning of the Western masses via athletics and other elements the media presents as spectacle, and this goes far beyond track and field. Say for example a name E. African athlete or coach is caught red-handed. Generally the stories disappear, or they turn out to be "false positives" or incorrectly reported, played down, hushed up, ignored, and everyone's attention directed back to the evil bogeyman Putin or some other approved villain.

Kenyan coaches trying to take drug tests for athletes? Oh, they were just trying to get free lunches, turn the story into one coach and then bury it. Athletes staying in the same hotel as a name coach who's caught with an arsenal of PEDs? It doesn't prove anything or mean anything. Move along. The behind the scenes cash will turn it into a non-event, a mistake, racial profiling or some other lie.

The sport is a joke, especially distance running. Kill off the drugs and you'll still have great E. Africans. You just won't have the numbers you now see. The improved testing has scared the people behind the mess a bit, as the hilariously rigged performances we saw in the heyday of doping from Komen, Geb, KB and others haven't been remotely approached. If those athletes had been Chinese or Japanese or Europeans, they'd have been questioned and mocked and hounded Lance Armstrong style.

People - meaning naive Westerners - need to ask themselves why they've been programmed to reflexively reject the idea that certain peoples can cheat, will cheat, do cheat and might not exactly be the happy, smiling, super friendly people that the media portrays them to be. The same media that vilifies others as part of the same agenda. The same media run for the most part by people of the same ilk as Summers and the oligarchs.

The Africans don't have the money to cheat. It isn't only Africans bringing the drugs into Africa. It's people who are tools of those who actually believe they will be able to eventually control everything. It won't happen, but they're giving it a go.

Politics has been in IOC and sports since 1936.

How is McLaren and WADA supposed to make a report when FSB and Russian athletes/government continue to deny and don't cooperate. Russia is the only bullshit.

Putin huylo.

Blah blah, poor Russia, unfairly treated.

I'd have more sympathy for them (as I do think there are other countries with serious issues that are getting a free pass) but they still keep on cheating.

It's not like they're not cheating, is it? They're cheating and they're doing a lot of it.

But there not so good at it as Westerners, and only finish in 17th place even with doping.

Your source is RT, which is a Russian propaganda news network. Not reliable, thanks.

WADA says it's a bunch of typos.

“Due to a technical malfunction, WADA has been made aware that certain athlete code references have been misattributed by the team.

"E.g. we have seen situations where an athlete code reference was attributed to a certain athlete in sport X while it should have been attributed to another athlete in sport Y."

These are hilarious euphemisms: "technical malfunctions" and "minor logistical discrepancies"... quite bizarre when you are playing with people's livelihoods. Oh well, I guess they are Russians anyway, so there's no need to care about whom you smear. Combined with blaming the messenger (RT) as being propaganda, can't you see your entire story is just that?

Basically, there is no proof. Just lots of questions.

It goes on.

Fancy Bears just posted again (24 Jan 2018)

Meanwhile, Russians are McLaren-banned from Olympics, based on no evidence.

The so-called "West" likes to brag that it requires some sort of due process. Except when it doesn't matter.

French sports news outlet Ski-nordique has condemned the International Olympic Committee’s reported decision to exclude leading Russian athletes from the 2018 PyeongChang Games, stressing no evidence of guilt has been presented.

In an article titled “Shipulin et Ustiugov privés de JO” (Shipulin and Ustiugov excluded from the Olympic Games), journalist Mirko Hominal slammed the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) Invitation Review Panel, which was granted the right to approve Russian athletes for the upcoming Winter Games, for its reported decision.

“So in recent days a committee appointed by the IOC and led by a biased person banned athletes without any evidence, it is more than disturbing,” the French outlet said, reacting to the news.

The French outlet also stressed that all of their doping control tests carried out abroad by independent bodies were clean.

It also insists that the IOC and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) have a completely different approach towards doping cases involving athletes representing Western, presumably Anglo-Saxon, countries. While punishing Russia for doping violations which have not been proved, the bodies give dispensations to Western athletes allowing them to officially use doping under WADA’s Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) program, it noted.

Hominal stressed that Shipulin and Ustiugov, who have never tested positive for banned substances, could be forced to watch the Olympics on TV, while other athletes will have a better chance of winning medals in PyeongChang in their absence. He also recalls the story of Norwegian skier Martin Sundby, whose doping test taken in the summer of 2016 revealed elevated levels of ventolline, a medicine used to ease asthma symptoms.

Further exploration showed that the athlete had exceeded the maximum allowed use of the drug by 15 times.

“But he is Norwegian, and not Russian, so we give him a two-month suspension from July and August, nice for a doper, and of course nobody has ever thought of banning him from the 2018 Olympics,” Hominal said.

The hackers also accused WADA of a double standards showing evidence that several athletes were not penalized despite missing doping control tests. Italian luger Ludwig Rieder missed the test in November of 2016, as did Austrian athlete Birgit Platzer skipped in May of 2017. Rieder said he simply forgot to inform the officials about his whereabouts, and adding that he will not repeat the same mistake in the future.

“Here we face the well-known double standards approach. While some athletes are being sentenced to severe punishment, the others avoid penalty,” the group wrote.
