No, but it’s explained by the fact that he has long legs and is a bit of a laugh.

and was world athletics number one cash cow

 

[craner]

Yeah, it was impossible for him to be a cheat. It might have destroyed the sport.

 

[craner]

The fact that his track coach was a trained chemist was never remarked upon.

it was remarked on by renegade jornalist O. Craner

 

[luka]

the only jornalist i ever pay attention to cos he is not corrupted by the industry

 

[luka]

all hilariously blatant drug cheats

 

[luka]

nadal

 

[luka]

nadal is such a hilariously obvious one and i think also that it is helpful in looking at the media

 

[luka]

theres a whole lot of facts the media knows but wont say. eg saville is a pedo nadal is a drug cheat. how does that operate?
what is in it for them? what makes them tow the line?

 

[luka]

toe the line?

 

[luka]

what a joke. did you tell me about that brilliant liverpool caffine theory? that was genius

 

[luka]

that they were looking for 'marginal gains' ala team sky and were dosing on mega-caffine ala vardy (red bull and port)
and he even predicted a specific arc leading to their title win and followed by a massive downturn due to the limits of players bodies
@wild greens was it you that popularised this theiry? cant remember where i heard it now

Theres some very blatant insane cheating going on in baseball right now. a litteral arms race.

Pitchers are using 'foreign substances' to make their hands sticky and generate impossible movement on the ball. teams are employing labs to develop their own superior substances. Its rumored that the player who just signed the largest contract in mlb history was paid so much in part because his personal chemists have developed purportedly the best substance in the league and by signing him the entire pitching staff gets access to the substance (after the signing nearly every pitcher on the staff was generating higher spin rates on their throws).

but the crackdown has stopped a lot of this. Gerrit Cole certainly lost rotation and has been hit more.

 

[IdleRich]

Whenever PEDs come up in relation to football, I always think of that picture of Gareth Bale one summer at Madrid where he suddenly looked as though he'd been given the Captain America formula,

What do you take to improve your golf?

also helps that trevor brauer, the poster boy for all this, was taken out of the game with a sexual assault allegation

Ball tampering they call it in cricket
