Russian Doping Scandal

Athletics doping: Wada commission wants Russia ban
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/athletics/34765444

Russia managed to get caught in this massive doping scandal. This is fairly significant, as they have always been a huge player in international competition. Pre 1991 the ussr and satellite nations have been massive influences in strength competitions (Bulgaria - a very small nation - managed to bring home most of the weightlifting medals in the 80's).

Thoughts? Personally I've always wanted an untested olympics, that would truly push human performance to the limit.

Unfortunately I only see a heavier crackdown on athletes worldwide. In the US we already have to get tested 4x a year randomly. Now WADA wants to completely ban Russia from competition.

Banning the Russians will ruin the whole aspect of lifting.

I think everyone looks forward to watching the big Russian guys regardless of doping....every country dopes.

If they ban Russia then they might as well ban everyone and take the sport out of the olympics and not readily promote any strength sport......fucking pen pushers!!!!

Sneaky Ruskies! Not surprising, Olympics is big business, and much bigger in other countries than the US. Money and Prestige taint everything. Pretty sure all countries dabble in the PED's in some capacity.....Let them do it I say. PED's are only 1 form of "cheating". We as a people want bigger, faster, and stronger so let us be entertained!
