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. |

So, back to topic, the Ruskies have cheated since they went red.
I'm not sure how this is a shocker...

So you think the Giants hit on their 50/50 6 times in a row by accident or the Royals 5 out 6 times? That has to be highly unlikely. Probably less than 5%?

It was highly unlikely, yes. Just like the Jays winning 4 times out of 4 was in 1992/1993. That's why Royals fans should be enjoying every second of this, it probably won't happen again in our lifetimes.

It probably doesn't change nearly as much as most people think, but it has to change a bit to aid the team that has a good bullpen and had the worse 5th starter during the season.

I recall you saying yourself that the Royals had around a 75% chance of winning the series when up 3-2 in the ALCS (which would assume that each game is around 50/50). I agreed with you on that point.
