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. |

Why is it so hard for some fans to accept that their team has some pricks on it? If I was a Royals fan, I'd own that. Far better to have a collection of dicks that win than a bunch of nice guy losers.

I wonder if that boy named Sue first base coach of yours is still making the zip your lips signs into his mirror.

Was it pretty funny watching the royals disembowel the Mess the same way they did the jays?

No, not really. 4 blown leads is a little bit different than just one. But it's still nice to know that the result of the series had more to do with the Jays playing poorly over a 6 game stretch than the Royals playing well.

That team is hardly rattling anyone. All they spent and traded away to load up for this year, and they barely survived the first round of the postseason. If we ever think of that team, it will just be to wonder at how overrated they were.

And they (and their 1B coach!) seem to have rattled you enough to bring them up in a thread that has nothing to do with them. |
