Team USA hockey loses in the quarters to Slovakia. Ugh.

They allowed a goal with less than a minute left.

Then lost in a shootout 1-0.

I am trying not to go off the rails in discussing my feelings about the deep hatred I have for the Russian Olympic machine but this year is pushing me to the brink. What they do to their athletes is repulsive and the fact that this athlete was allowed to compete is a travesty.

They have treated other athletes differently for non-performance enhancing drugs. Russia has a history of cheating too.

Who is "they"?

The woman runner from USA was kicked off by our USA Olympic committee (or whatever they call themselves), not some bigger international Olympic committee (or whatever they call themselves) iirc.

Russia cheats. There's no doubt about it. I just feel sorry for her if she's not being told what's being given to her.

Twocoaches article was pretty insightful/sad/maddening.

Has she passed tests since that failed test in November?

Get a life. Quit trying to start fights with me in every thread. Wait until it's actually called for like an adult.

These athletes understand that they are being doped. It is 100% systemic over there. I have known dozens of Russian athletes that competed for Russia internationally.
