no it was a good one but. new delhi couple was nervous about that city but outside the private you were just going to stick together. leaders of the past the super bowl it is just that they gather much else of the stick by you did. to please the plane from the the one thing that i worry i see what's going to come down at the bar that he actually don't feel that they have the support of the scimitar they look at me when i see. you go with a. michael rasmussen is a mountain biking champion king of the mountains of the two thousand and five two thousand and six two difference he builds a meteoric sports career and became of the world's most famous cyclists. i think many people they want to keep the illusion alive. and. i'm sorry if i have to break the news that. i do not believe in illusions. and. i think

that this sport in general has lost its virginity long time ago. barely known at the outset of his career it took eight years to become a cycling icon today rasmussen's over forty years old it's only now after his sports career is over that he's ready to talk openly about the methods he employed to become a champion i was taking performance in drops over a total period of twelve years my aim was to be the best athlete i could possibly be in order to win the toughest sport competition in the world. and for me in order to do that. it was necessary also to. to push the rules and break the rules. they mean to be the best is a praiseworthy ambition although in sports just as in any other battle this. the

temptation to gain victory by any means. at the one thousand nine hundred four lympics and some lewis an american thomas hicks took a then popular cocktail of brandy laced with strychnine and ran in the marathon. after a while he fainted his coach gave him more dope takes continued eventually coming first although a team of doctors barely managed to revive him at the finishing line but still he got his gold medal. since then the pharmaceutical industry has made giant strides it does develop drugs designed for prolonged use the harm to athletes health can't be detected immediately but performances in hans straight away. corticosteroids has a lot of benefits in terms of treating injuries but it also has a very very pleasant side effect if you are an athlete that wants to perform at the highest level because. it causes weight loss. and which is where

important when you're cycling. the fact that athletes were attaining amazing results is not what attracted attention to doping. what couldn't be ignored was the death toll of athletes who died in their prime. between one thousand nine hundred eighty five and one nine hundred eighty over two hundred doping linked deaths were registered in various sports around the world. the i.o.c. had to respond although it was rather tardy. it wasn't until nine hundred ninety nine that the world anti-doping agency was created. today wada updates its prohibited substances list annually pharmaceutical companies and then turn promote their products within this list lobbyist's vita shut out the competition this is a market with a turnover of tens of millions of dollars. there's barely

a major international competition that passes without a doping scandal at the same time the anti doping system itself is mushrooms and is constantly in need of financial injections again. we need a massive financial infusion into this endevor if we really believe that you know the greatest threat to sport is doping. and did wonders to be strengthened in its rule critters funding is needed in the agency's current thirty million budget we're going to ask you one question you. think the world anti doping agency rejects any criticism it is focused on promoting its public image trying to convince the world it's indispensable to do provides a foundation for the world of sports. i know that within the team while i was writing it was very common and there were there were many great athletes i

was in the team with a nice man show us in the team. and a lot of all the big names. and for them it was not an offer to perform at the highest level without using the off elements and some drops. in cycling it has happened many times that we take one single rider out. instead of looking at the whole the whole structure. it happened when. they went off the lance armstrong it was one rider they went after. to get busting lance armstrong boosted was his authority flaunts was a god of sport in the eyes of many what's more he conquered the sporting world after beating an incurable disease and making a remarkable comeback but adulation sounded in may twenty level when a former teammate of armstrong's testified he'd seen him taking prohibited drugs on

many occasions launce was stripped of all his awards. vision's was satisfied. that doping contradicts the principle of fair play says waters code however there's a paradox the anti doping rules allow doping in certain cases. but only by athletes to whom water has given permission this information is top secret to use water's words it's confidential. the fancypants hackers website extended its greetings to the world it announced that it stands for fan play and clean sport ones as moto incidentally is the same. said they attacked the water site and was shocked by what it had seen it started with american and in pick champions because some of their victories appeared dubious. hiking is illegal but should.

reveal. sensible information about medical records i don't have to do any sympathy for that i don't think it's a good thing fancy bears published five lists of past leads with positive doping tests over two hundred u.s. post men and women had obtained permission to use banned drugs for therapeutic purposes all data collected on athletes is stored in the adams electronic system this system had been wada's impregnable fortress this dr was illegally obtained from a real twenty sixteen olympic games the current. time was the broader system compromised above all want to remain confident in its systems and can change your city the security of us treat dr extremely she actually some of my house with this stuff is a threats of theft and that is that it's the committed to what in the in the senate

probably is just a post that said bill and then they said they don't need to communicate that i'm going to w you must know just getting through and yet it is not so. that you can see a certain part of this if you cannot get on with the friendship on the bring it up it is not only to buy you know my opinion my but the best also done with dolly at the polls. and there it is there is now you. just listed addition there because now you. are used to work twelve years. twelve years i was in charge of. developing the cold through running the team we developed or called the national standards to you we is an international star that has been through consultation around the world and everybody agrees this is we should be. when people are sick they have to have

medication that needs to be a system where they can be given this predication but there has to be strict measurements. yeah you can easily test the substance but you have a permit to use it and basically it's just a matter of inventing an injury. so you know your team doctor would write that you are having tendonitis in your left knee and then. basically giving you a wild card a free pass to use to reuters during the tour de france for example the queen of artistic gymnastics four time olympic champion nineteen year old simone biles won five medals four of which were gold in the rio olympics tests taken just before the games showed for instances of banned substances but she was not suspended from the competition after the fancy bears hackers exposed the queen she took to twitter to defend herself i have aged and i have taken medicine for it since i was

a kid please no i believe in clean sport i have always followed the rules and will continue to do so a.d.h. d. is one of the most widespread disorders children of diagnosed with what is it really an illness a child on able to keep still and always being reprimanded for it at school is a familiar story the amphetamine from one twenty milligram. pill is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream and has a favorable influence on the nervous system it calms you down many gymnasts look very nervous before the start everybody by contrast simone biles is a model of focus and concentration. therapist puter exemptions i think has to be allowed because there are medical conditions but it needs to be transparent it can't be hidden that somebody is taking these medications which actually can calm the nerves which is the real issue in competitions so it needs to

be transparent right now it's not transparent. tennis has always been considered the cleanest sport one case of doping detected in a thousand tests this is the official data according to anonymous pose sixty five percent of tennis players take banned drugs among them the williams sisters serena and venus they have muscular and powerful bodies seemingly created by nature itself but during the last five years they have had sixteen t u e's long with victories with millions in prize money something worth fighting for their first time someone right now it's the u.s. anti-doping agency that approves the t.u.e. and and it's not disclosed it's not transparent so in a way fancy bears the hacking group. they did a service by signing a light on this it's a little bit like wiki leaks. it was only things to the hackers that the world

learned of the extensive use of t u e's if sports fans around the world could look on the internet to see who had been tested by wada offices who had fallen foul and who had been authorized by wada to use t u e's there would be no need for hakas. altie we have a great team but we need to strengthen before the free float world cold and your bets have been a legend to keep it so it's at the back. in one thousand nine hundred two that must qualify for the european championships at the very last moment no one believed in us but we won and i'm hoping to bring some of that waiting spirit to the r.c.c.

. recently i've had a lot of practice so i can guarantee you that peter schmeichel will be on the best fall since my last will call on that story as well as three. thousand zero zero zero zero he didn't rush out. strike. left left left more or less ok stuff that's really good that joined me every thursday on the alex simon chill and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics school business i'm showbusiness i'll see of that. level was selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken office and you to fight the battles based on. the new socks credit tell you that because today. i'm off the bat.

i think on some is not so is not that can be true. but i'm not as well off from. the last i was the last contact with matter how. in the fucking time i can now seems almost feeling now with the fact that i'm at work let's say this election is not enough hours before you go to see but i want to go to the cities and i cannot places in the city of the world of the street. cinema bhargava you know that a lot of this. is about. what a transformed itself from a humble ante dukie center into in the vase and able to coalition wants to impose conditions not only on astley's but also on the i.o.c. which actually created the agency that said water has lost the war against doping

more than once but it did myths that reluctantly and with reservations. or against doping and we need i am optimistic for two reasons basically the first one is that if you look at it carefully we can find some satisfactions we can find some victories in the fight against doping so yes there are the second point is it cannot get worst. the agency always needs to prove it's capable of beating the monster the question is who will beat them on stuff the decision is always made behind the scenes. that's just. a rush turner but no i think they should believe. we are. i want them to. be very

careful because. year after year the winners podiums in major competitions are graced by norwegian representatives as the publication discovered seventy percent of norwegian olympic medals since one thousand nine hundred ninety two have been won by us magics. to doubts about us is not and if they did our. supper was simply. reduced or you asked what the percentage. was nielsen your study says numbers out of. my skin what would be a good guess what. they're saying by living in those things not just for. the obvious reasons competing asked leitz don't want to talk about it fast enough today i think you can do it to morrow in the mix or we're being told that it is not possible to. prove guilt told. me the opposite.

of. the famous no we can ski sunday is also one who enjoys therapeutic exemption the king of the mountain is a two time winner of the world cup in the overall standing a world champion in the team relay on two occasions and twice on the limpid medalist while achieving all this he was taking a prescription medicine for a smart. what is with ricin been a member of the best male skier in the world that he was diagnosed with the child he has he has a condition and therefore in order to be able to compete he needs asthma medicine what happened with. the norwegian doctor charles to administer administer. last moments and in a very unusual way where he used a machine i was almost ten times where we are. he was suspended from competitions

for two months but in the summer months not winter ones although he could have been suspended for four years according to the wada rule book martin sunday officially i'm with waters authorization took a drug called sol bottom all which gives an adrenaline rush case isn't the only one kind of the iraqi room so here is my magic or. siri hail is a two times junior ski racing world champion she was on the norwegian national team . i felt it was something wrong even here in my throw so i went to the doctor and i blew out in the machine you know and he saw that there was irritation and then he said there is so irritation here so i think you should use ventilation and i just tried that. training and i felt this was awkward to use it because i didn't have a smile stuck to it and i think i didn't really think more about this i am not very

fond of. drugs i'm not fond of we just who are used made the comments that even though it's legal it is given to people i believe yeah shouldn't get it because we are in the gray area that's the only life that we are in i want it to be fair play. soon after syria stop taking me as my drug she had to leave the team. everybody should be tested and yeah there should be a there i got the gay sense i think a mandate for that should be said by now but she was just just multiplied the story of the story that i see you know my problem adoption go down this is what i see in this wish to know which in you just missed don't know me probably in a nearby generic and you quoted but you just giftedness but it's me and i spoke with a dog with its use of in this particular setting it all looks good it just because

i knew very little it's not what we're going to start at the bottom just telling me what i see is the best and then you got to the new place seeding is evil or the school can you tell she's too much it's got to be looked into that i just want to. get at it just because it really is a subsidence a number two when you lose the problem initiate this i'm innocent little bits of the history of anti doping campaigns falls into two periods before twenty fourteen and after a few months after russia's triumphs of the sochi olympics zeroed in on a monster and declared war on it it wasn't just. an athlete like lance armstrong but an entire country russia. the first thing i should say is because you are actually it's and the country is a big how let's put it every day every successful country so you would be mad if i exactly said dozens of very good that still swaddled it here it is this bit they are the head of the moscow anti doping aboard trade grigori roche inc of was

the first one in the firing line queues dim of destroying over four hundred doping samples a few days prior to testing. moved to the usa the one that demanded his dismissal from the moscow laboratory. that was water that said he couldn't be both and report a parent waiting on he was really he's a criminal first. members of my team be deported one of us i think of so i still can't really thank you the lawyer declared that his principal goal was fighting the system fighting the monster who had been exposed by a hole in the wall of the sochi testing lab which had mclaren has been painting a vivid picture of this for the past two years was the edge of the building and the next building in the layout would be the command center for the f.s.b. and they were in the storage locker there and they were seen by dr robert shanks up

according to rajan calls testimony during the sanchia lympics the home was used to swap year in samples with the aid of the mighty f.s.b. intelligence service and. was the only one who saw the secret device used to open up athletes dope written some tools and swapped them for clean ones. the form of bridges cyclist dan stevens has publicly tossed down the gauntlet and accused of thinking in cold war terms. i think the real reason the industry exists these fall for old protected afflatus. clay spoke i think the whole wall and the industry they represent the world works i wrote this by stalled politics crites it in and of us opinion of. middle title for political reasons stevens has been attempting to expose british

don't. one hundred fifty british athletes have received banned drugs that is private clinics but when are these one hundred fifty athletes now and why didn't want to hold an investigation so how can industry it's absurd it's full of contradictions for the focus a it's not trying to lie with lies when the money comes from work i used to spend spend spend spend all wild and it's a god if i could. be free from the saw that what you were going to put me in a rock room and. michelle thought against me who is that succeeds thing is that the money. you have even if we put you bite someone all the anti doping organizations of course receiving. many lots of foundings from their countries as always with what we hear is that now we are getting very close to finding the

perfect solution for all this but we're not quite there yet. we need more money right. now and i think at the end of the day. it will never be solved it. was just. well concentration the bureaucratic concentration is sapping the economic vitality from this entrepreneurial nation called america and the machinations and the costs

associated their way of keeping the prison population in place are draining money away from all aspects of society and you've got the problems that you would normally associate with the ghetto like people nodding out in the middle of the day in the middle of the street. if you trust the mainstream media well then you're in the minority sadly a great deal of media today is not designed to inform but rather confirm political biases this approach of the news is not only polarizing but it's also lowering journalistic standards this is why readers and viewers seek their news elsewhere.

when they. occur. in the mood to. use a road these are the. momentum. is remember the from the look of them they want us and the feeling. of those. so. i thought that the ample.
