I'd say with conviction that they're all on the sauce--inge's, Nordas, Warholm. Easy as pie to not get popped. They are ahead of the testers and meticulous in their process/knowledge of the testing procedures.

True,but i wouldnt have thought narve has what it takes to beat jakob.If jakob is injured,maybe,but i dont think theyre in the same league.

Curious to know which Norwegian athlete has been involved in blood doping!

Any runner, or cross country skier? Please tell me!

Will any other race have anything close to the drama of the men's 1500? If there's only one race I watch in the entire Olympics is has to be that one. Lyles somehow breaking the 200 record would be the only thing to make me even question that

Many swimming races will be heavily anticipated, starting with opening night Titmus vs McIntosh vs Ledecky at 400 freestyle. That race is guaranteed to be NBC's focus as the Games begin.

NBC sucks at commentary. You'll prob need to pay for 2 subscriptions to watch the games with them anyhow. Get a vpn and watch BBC or CBC.

Jakob is injured, while Narve is taking more risks this season. Running more kilometers and spending more time at altitude.
Even though being injured at this time of the year isnt a total disaster for Jakob, it is far from optimal. He didnt go to sierra nevada this winter, so his altitude regime has already been adversely impacted.

I’m in the camp that almost every Olympic medalist is doping. No way Jakob could dominate the way he has without being on something. Period.

If they are clean, it shows the insane effect money and security can have on performance, as these folks have grown up in a petro-socialist paradise.
