There's me thinking you were talking about this:-

Hauke was caught implementing a blood transfusion and arrested along with four other athletes at the resort of Seefeld, Austria

Quite how he's think he would win Nordic skiing on a bicycle, is beyond me.

think the first question is how bridge became qualified as a sport.

You do actually. They're long sessions and they may not be physically demanding but concentrating for five hours plus (often twice a day) is mentally strenuous. I worked at the European Bridge Championship in 1975 (it was there that I met Attila) and I was amazed how full on it was.

The only surprise is that more players aren't caught with chemical assistance.

I am not quite sure how they have mixed up the medical preparation for a gender transition with a performance enhancing drug in something that is neither a sport nor, strictly speaking, involves any sort of performance.

But no, hang on....

"In 2017, Helgemo and world number two, fellow Norwegian Tor Helness, 61, were both convicted of tax evasion."

This sport is clearly as corrupt as ****. [emoji3]

There's a very, very long list of top players who have been caught cheating - including (shock, horror) a British pair (Schapiro and Reese)

Praise the Lord football is as pure as the driven snow.

No drug can make you kick a ball straight.

I for one embrace our FIFA overlords and their democratic allocation of World Cups.
