World Anti-Doping Agency: Russia Should be Banned from the 2016 Olympics
http://www.bbc.com/sport/athletics/34765444
http://espn.go.com/olympics/trackand...field-athletes After a long investigation, WADA just released a shocking report today accusing the Russian Federation of running a huge state-sponsored doping scheme, including helping their athletes avoid detection in drug testing. They named 10 Russian athletes and coaches who should be banned for life, and given how corrupt Russia apparently is and the little amount of time remaining to the next olympic games, they also recommend that the IOC ban Russia from competing in Rio. (Not sure if the recommendation is just Russia's track and field team, or all of their athletes) The IOC is not obligated to agree to the recommendation, but there's pressure all over the world on the IOC to hammer Russia. |

Sounds like a political stunt to show them as the bad guy, since they're making us look weak in the Syria debacle.

Sorry, but pointing out that the MLB playoffs are a crapshoot where anything can happen in such a small sample size isn't a "bullshit excuse." It's not even an excuse at all. It's just a fact of the sport and one that I've been saying it long before the Jays ever made the playoffs (and they didn't for 22 years before this). Hell, the '92 and '93 Jays teams that actually won the WS (especially the '92) arguably weren't even the best teams in those seasons, they just played better over 10+ games in October.

Back-to-back World Series appearances... If only the Blue Jays were that lucky. Or is it good?

Is the United States government actively conspiring to help athletes pass drug tests? I read a summary of the report -- you have no idea how bad it is. It's stunning. It would be comical if it wasn't so unbelievably ridiculous.
