I've heard about this. The Norwegian skiers forced to use drugs which contains dopping, but it is only for medical purposes. Many people in Norge ski team are athmatics, and their doctors gives dopping to sportsman, but it's only for healing not for cheating, such use of dopping is not ilegal.

Siberia is the name for huge territory. In diferent places of this territory climate is different. The climate in my city is different from say climate in Irkutsk, because it is a couple tousand miles away from my city, but both of them is located in Siberia.
So don't avoid it it's very beautyful place.

I think it is sad to see that many of the Russians still seem so caught up in the ideological battles of the cold war. I am also sad to see that they seem so bent on making themselves international laughingstocks.

"We protest this. We protest that. We protest sound, scientifically valid doping tests. We protest when you test more of our athletes for drugs than we expected. We protest when you catch our athletes at doping at inconvenient times. We protest reform of Olympic judging, let us stick with the old corrupt set up. We protest that we played very badly for the first two periods against the Americans in hockey. We protest our victory over the Czechs - oops! wait a minute! that last one was a mistake! If things don't always go the way we want them we will pick up all our marbles and go home."

Perhaps this whole 'protest' thing is as the first poster suggested, a classic case of somebody deciding that the best defence is a good offence. I just wish the Russians had figured that out in the first period of the hockey game against the US, instead of not waking up until the third period when they really started to play some fine hockey.

Technicality? If a proof of a crime is obtained in an illegal way, it is dismissed, isn't it?

Besides, the very fact that after checking the first skier of the team they (illegally!) checked the second one nicely illustrates the whole unfair attitude towards Russia.

KH: I think it's more that they aren't given all the facts. They are led to believe what the gov'ts want them to believe. Did you see that CNN poll about Osama? most arabs don't think that he did it, even though there is video evidence to prove it...

Depending on what the hell "nutjob" means, I am either too much of a nutjob or too little of a nutjob to understand its meaning.

Moreover, since recently, I am not even sure what the meaning of the word "is" is.


Edit: I am starting to understand

There is absolutely nothing ideological in the Russian protests.

Those who don't protest against the unfair treatment also end up in the international laughingstocks. It's the destiny anyways.

You seem to forget that it is you, the Canadians, who started all this.

Completely agree with you about hockey. In retrospect, it seems quite clear that the final game Canada-Russia would have been much more interesting.

It seems that it's you who wants to believe what you want to believe. Russia is a free country since long ago.

Well, I think that people of any number of backgrounds should be able to agree on a guilty party when that party agrees that they did it, and tells what they were thinking when they planned it...

I just want to add:
They do not found doping in her blood only hemoglobin little more then normal, and they allowed to Lazutina to run next distance on the next day, and only after last contest they found traces of doping. Next: they do not allowed to make substitution of Lazutina by other sportsman. Removal of our team was ilegal, absolutely ilegal.
They yoused a dirtiest means to remove our team, because on four previous Olympic Games our team win gold, and we have no competition in this discipline.

I've never said that this case was the american's conspiracy.
Our women ski team think that it was Norge who initiated this.
But it was good for Americans too. The less medal their competitor (Russia) in overall medal acount achieved the better for them.
