I am all for bans for crooked behavior, just please do it evenly - how about famous asthmatic Norwegians, Carl Lewis vs Ben Johnson doping cases or Team Sky in cycling? It just makes the whole decision politically-colored instead of pure science/fairness-based. I find it weird when other national agencies do some ugly workarounds as well but nobody bothers... Funny that even F1 driver Kvyat who lived since his childhood in Italy might be banned... It resembles 1980/1984 Olympics-level idiocy.
- avmich 7y agoCould you provide here some links about similar behavior of other national agencies?
- bitL 7y agoNorway is a glaring example, their winter Olympians consumed huge amount of anti-asthma medication. "Eyebrows were also raised when the Norwegian TV channel NRK published the list of asthma drugs its country’s doctors were taking to this Winter Olympics, which amounted to 10 times more than Finland’s."
- fred_is_fred 7y agoThe Olympics has F1 now?
- bitL 7y agoF1 has an agreement with WADA. WADA != IOC. https://old.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/e88dtr/does_the_russia_wada_ban_affect_daniil_kvyat/ https://old.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/e88dtr/does_the_r...
