    The secret service were taking bribes as well. The IAAF is at fault as well for accepting bribes. Which means ANYONE in the world can bribe the IAAF, it is a very big deal. Russia will retaliate with their own accusations of foreign athletes as well... cant wait.

    This is 100% propaganda against Russia.

    The testing in U.S and EU IS NO BETTER.

    The west hate Russia because Putin set up the BRICS and that is a challenge to the IMF slave model.

    Because their star athletes either know how to get drugs out of their body or know who to pay to have results altered.

    Roy is an activist in the local food community. That attitude permeates everything he surrounds himself with.

    Therefore, rather than ship things thousands of miles, it is more true to his principles to ship himself there.

    Not surprising in the least. The former Soviet Union and now current Russia have long been suspected of state sponsored doping. It's nothing new, and definitely not something to be overly skeptical about. State programs were exposed in both East Germany and China.....they were completely systemic and state controlled. Thinking this is some anti Russia conspiracy is insane, when programs like this have already been exposed in international sport and have existed for decades, and it's not just probable, it is highly likely they have or do exist in more countries than have been caught.

    The athlete in question was talking about track and field, not any other sports.

    If you look at the 2013 violations report issued by WADA, which is easily available for download, doping is present in all sports. They issued over 1900 violations, to 115 countries, with the Russian Federation accounting for 12% of those violations, both in and out of competition. Oddly enough, it was France who had the most boxing violations, but doping encompasses all sports, even those you would never think of.

    Why are people bringing up "other" nations when the one being accused here of having a pervasive doping culture, from the government on down, is Russia.
    Everyone should know by now that Russia (and Ukraine) is a law less place where mobsters make the rules.

    I'm glad this has happened because now drug testing will be taken seriously and habitual doping Russian athletes will undergo special and more detailed diagnosis.

    This is a corruption bribery scandal than anything. Calling it state sponsored is going too far. Russia's track and field squad in the female department seems to be highly suspect, considering their females are MUCH more succesful than their men. Also you are wrong, the Soviet Union RECOMMENDED doping, they did NOT mandate it, the East Germans were the ones that made it a mandate. Also it is ludicrous to assume athletes from all over the world were NOT roided to the gills prior to 1995, since drug testing was primitive and or NON existent. All nations today in the realm of track and field are doped up, it is just Russia that was caught. It also does not help that the IAAF accepted bribes from the Russian federation of Athletics. Russia only got caught thanks to a ****ed off russian female track star that refused to pay the bribery money to hide her blood results.
