TJ still no idea of the rules, there. Ref was right
Ah finally gets it.
The GB ladies doing heaps of stutter steps, not one has achieved anything
-
@machpants Yeah, great individual effort from the no. 7 Seredina. Not sure these women have cheated though.

Great try there for cheating Russians
Was a good run but the GB sweeper was not positioned very well out on the left edge

Yeah, probably correct but a ban should be a ban, not a slight name change, imo.
But great try there for GB, winning 14-12. Lotsa errors

they flat out shouldn't be there. Just because they play rugby doesn't mean they are suddenly less likely to be in on it. The entire Group are suspect as fuck. Sorry girls, guilty by association.

@mariner4life I couldn't disagree more. Only players from the sport in which athletes/players have cheated should be affected, not those in an entirely different sport/discipline.

do you remember why they are banned?
-
@stargazer except the cheating was done at government level, using KGB (whatever they're called now) to swap samples on break in, etc. We only know there ones we caught, it was totally endemic, maybe if you compete for Russia but have lived, competed, and tested overseas for ages, maybe. Otherwise, Russia want took enhance their country by cheating, their country should pay the cost.
-
@mariner4life Yeah, but I think they should just enforce a more strict testing regime, to catch those who have actually cheated.

@taniwharugby 12 months i reckon. 12 months of training and playing and they would be fuuuuuucking hard to stop. Those guys are genetic freaks.
Receivers, running backs, linebackers and safeties.
WADA testing...

No point testing them now, you can easily built up and be clean as by the Olympics that's why testing is all year around and random
