► Add to the Discussion Discussion Topic: State Sponsored Doping in Russia Tony Bradberry added to this discussion on November 9, 2015 The article discusses a report done by WADA's ex-president. It doesn't specifically name wrestling, but it is interesting nonetheless http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/10/sports/russian-athletes-part-of-state-sponsored-doping-program-report-finds.html?_r=0        Discussion Topic: State Sponsored Doping in Russia Mark Niemann added to this discussion on November 9, 2015 Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?!?!?! In Russia!? Should be interesting to see where this leads. Only problem is the corruption of the IOC. If Russia can grease enough palms or the correct palms with enough money, they'll be fine.        Discussion Topic: State Sponsored Doping in Russia Chris Shepherd added to this discussion on November 9, 2015 I've always thought wrestling was an arena that could see major competitive advantage from doping. But surprisingly it's never been a major topic in our sport. With Russia's recent dominance at the World Championships it leads me to wonder if that played a role?        Discussion Topic: State Sponsored Doping in Russia John Drumm added to this discussion on November 10, 2015 Thanks for Putin up the article!        Discussion Topic: State Sponsored Doping in Russia Mark Niemann added to this discussion on November 10, 2015 Quote from John Drumm's post: "Thanks for Putin up the article!" I laughed. Well done.        Discussion Topic: State Sponsored Doping in Russia Brady Hiatt added to this discussion on November 10, 2015 Can't believe people are shocked by this - after all we've know this was happening since Drago train.        Discussion Topic: State Sponsored Doping in Russia Jim Behrens added to this discussion on November 10, 2015 The question I have to ask is, what happened to all the "clean" dope tests that we were told about in London? I always tell people that the concept of "no positives" means squat. Was there no one that doped? Is the test reliable? Did they just "happen" to test the wrong people? Were results swept under the rug? Did any money change hands? There are LOTS of questions to be asked here.        Discussion Topic: State Sponsored Doping in Russia Mark Niemann added to this discussion on November 10, 2015 Jim: ask all the questions you want; you won't get honest answers. Brady: amen!        Discussion Topic: State Sponsored Doping in Russia Jim Behrens added to this discussion on November 10, 2015 Quote from Mark Niemann's post: "Jim: ask all the questions you want; you won't get honest answers. Brady: amen!" Mark, I know and understand completely. There is very little on the world wide stage that I believe in anymore. Sad but true.        Discussion Topic: State Sponsored Doping in Russia Hank Kornblut added to this discussion on November 10, 2015 Well, we know that the former Soviet Bloc was littered with doping (the infamous E. German swim team). So what are the odds that one of the most corrupt nations in the world is suddenly clean?        Discussion Topic: State Sponsored Doping in Russia Chris Shepherd added to this discussion on November 10, 2015 Sadly, even without all the dirt, they'd probably be one of our greatest competitors on the world stage. But they're tainting every single thing they touch. I agree with Jim, there's very little I trust on the world stage these days.        ► Add to the Discussion
