What a cruel and bizarre punishment.

AP:

Russia will not be able to use its name, flag and anthem at the next two Olympics or at any world championships for the next two years after a ruling Thursday by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

The Lausanne-based court halved the four-year ban proposed last year by the World Anti-Doping Agency in a landmark case that accused Russia of state-ordered tampering of a testing laboratory database in Moscow. The ruling also blocked Russia from bidding to host major sporting events for two years.

Russian athletes and teams will still be allowed to compete at next year’s Tokyo Olympics and the 2022 Winter Games in Beijing, as well as world championships including the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, if they are not banned for or suspected of doping.

One win for Russia is the proposed team name at major events. The name “Russia” can be retained on uniforms if the words “Neutral Athlete” or equivalents like “Neutral Team” have equal prominence, the court said.

The burden of proof was also shifted away from Russian athletes and more toward WADA when their doping history is vetted for selection to the Olympics or other sporting events.

Russian athletes and teams can also retain the national flag colors of red, white and blue in their uniforms at major events. That was not possible for Russians at the past two track world championships.

Even with those concessions, the court’s three judges imposed the most severe penalties on Russia since allegations of state-backed doping and cover-ups emerged after the 2014 Sochi Olympics.

Anyone who knows anything about sports, or health and fitness more generally, is aware that virtually all Olympic level athletes are on drugs, and the contest is really who can hide it better.

It’s actually become ridiculous, and they might as well just start allowing drugs, frankly, because there is obviously no way to prevent it.

The idea that Russia is somehow unique here is ridiculous. It is obvious that they aren’t even worse at hiding it. They were subjected to very extreme scrutiny, because they are classified as a villain nation.

You can screenshot this: China is about to get massively hit with doping charges, because they are now classified as a villain nation.

If I were Russia, I would fly the USSR flag at these events.

Frankly, it’s about time they started flying that flag anyway.

The uniforms reading: “CCCP – NEUTRAL TEAM” would be hilarious.

This article’s song:

This has crossed the line into “cruel and unusual” territory.

I don’t recall the Soviet Union being totally banned from all sports competitions during the height of the Cold War.

It’s clear now that Russia needs to start making its own everything going forward. Off the top of my head, here’s what they’re going to need to remake:

• Internet (very good progress on this front)
• Banking system (too many Jews in Russia stopping this)
• Military (almost finished)
• Movie industry (a lot of work to be done on this front)
• Sportsball

Basically, it’s time to start going full autarky.

BBC:

Russia has been handed a four-year ban from all major sporting events by the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada).

It means the Russia flag and anthem will not be allowed at events such as the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and Paralympics and football’s 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

But athletes who can prove they are untainted by the doping scandal will be able to compete under a neutral flag.

Russian prime minister Dmitry Medvedev said the ban was part of “chronic anti-Russian hysteria”.

Yeah, you look at these young ripped athletes and you just know that they’re on bovine growth hormone or something. This doesn’t bother me, I always thought this practice was common knowledge.

My only question is: why are we pretending that it’s only Russia that does this?

The only logical position to take is that everyone is on steroids unless proven otherwise. And then you have to consider that the steroid tests are just another part of the whole competition. Every four years, the coaches come up with creative ways to get around the random checks and outmaneuver the monitors. Just because it isn’t televised doesn’t mean that it’s not happening and that the stakes aren’t real.

Banning a whole country from the Olympics seems a bit much, no?

Especially when you consider that this comes on the heels of the 2018 banning in South Korea. Put together, this has effectively banned Russia from 6+ years of sports. An entire generation of athletes has gotten totally screwed.

“It is obvious that significant doping problems still exist in Russia, I mean our sporting community,” he said. “This is impossible to deny.

“But on the other hand the fact that all these decisions are repeated, often affecting athletes who have already been punished in one way or another, not to mention some other points – of course this makes one think that this is part of anti-Russian hysteria which has become chronic.”

Wada’s executive committee made the unanimous decision to impose the ban on Russia in a meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland, on Monday.

Personally, I don’t really care about the Olympics – I watch the opening ceremony and a few highlight reels and that’s about it. But unlike myself, the Kremlin decided to build their national platform on International Sportsball, so they’re going to be REEEEE’ing about this from now until the end of time.

The entirety of the 20th Century (colorized)

The three plank program they thought up:

1. Victory in the Great Patriotic War (WWII)
2. Sportsball success
3. Christian Orthodoxy

This is what the Russian state promotes now. And just for comparison – the modern American equivalent isn’t really all that different:

1. Founding Fathers/US Constitution
2. Saving Jews from being masturbated to death in WWII
3. Magic Black Moses I and II (MLK + Obama)

Russia’s problem is that their meta-narrative is getting attacked on all fronts.

Now you have the EU saying that the USSR was as much to blame for WWII as Nazi Germany. This isn’t being said because the bureaucrats in Brussels have become secretly based, but simply because they want to attack Putin’s government.

The Russky media talks about it nonstop, framing it as a betrayal and a prelude to war.

Vladimir Putin is overall a pretty solid guy, but his plan was pretty Boomer-tier, you have to admit.

With one of the planks of the platform completely collapsed and the other one under serious attack, he’s going to have to rethink Russia’s meta-narrative going forward.

Hopefully, the brain trust comes up with something better this time around.

The 2018 women’s final at Wimbledon was the story of a German woman defying all odds to defeat a juiced up man ape. It was a truly impressive athletic accomplishment.

This weekend is a pretty big deal for sports fans. We have the World Cup’s final match between the African nation of France and the European nation of Croatia. Then on top of that, we have the Wimbledon men’s and women’s finals. Wimbledon as most of you already know, is widely considered to be the most prestigious yearly tennis tournament in the world.

While most of us couldn’t give a damn about this stuff, they are culturally significant due to the amount of people who pay attention to them. They provide us an opportunity to inject our increasingly popular brand of politics into the mainstream.

The women’s final match at Wimbledon pitted the blonde German Angelique Kerber against the jacked gorilla Serena Williams. Kerber overcame all odds to defeat Williams in straight sets proving that the German master race is capable of overcoming anything.

ESPN ridiculously included more highlights of Serena’s winning shots in their highlight montage even though she lost the damn match. This is just another example of the Jew-run media’s obsession with shoving pro-nigger propaganda down our throats.

But let’s be honest, there is nothing fair about a manly gorilla on performance enhancing drugs competing with normal women. That’s what makes Kerber’s victory all the more impressive.

And it’s idiotic to believe that Williams is not using performance enhancements. All one has to do is look at pictures of her.

There’s also a great deal of evidence to suggest that she’s been using banned substances throughout her career.

Back in 2011 she claimed that she mistook a sports association drug tester for an intruder and hid herself inside a panic room. Talk about a highly unbelievable story. She simply didn’t want to take the drug test because she knew she’d fail.

Plus, a hack of the World Anti-Doping Agency exposed her as having been given exemptions to take drugs that would otherwise be banned. So while it is true that she hasn’t failed a drug test, she’s been given permission to take substances that others would be punished for.

Then of course there’s the distinct possibility that she’s a tranny. But only her gay looking husband Alexis can definitively answer that question.

Overall, it’s good to see that this jacked up ape lost. It’s tiring to see the Jew-run sports media present this ugly creature as the end all and be all of women’s sports. Williams is the biggest fraud in the history of women’s tennis.

The hacker becomes the hackee.

Ho ho ho, so Putin doesn’t want America hacking his elections, now?

He should have thought of that before he did a hacking on Hilldog and published all that crap on Wikileaks, his personal twitter account.

Ever heard of “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth?” This is how we roll around here.

Now, Putin will lose and presumably Hillary will become the president of Russia.

Don’t play the game if you can’t take the heat, nigga!

Washington Post:

Russian President Vladi­mir Putin on Thursday accused the United States of trying to interfere with Russia’s presidential campaign in retaliation for what the Kremlin dismisses as unfounded U.S. allegations that Moscow interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential vote.

“Hack it.”

On the eve of a possible meeting with President Trump at an economic forum in Vietnam, Putin suggested that the United States is pressing for the disqualification of Russian athletes at the 2018 Winter Olympics as a way of creating discontent with his tenure as president.

The International Olympic Committee recently banned six Russian cross-country skiers, including two 2014 Olympic medalists, from future competition in an ongoing doping investigation based on a damning 2016 report. With fewer than 100 days before the beginning of the 2018 Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea, the IOC has still not made a decision about whether to let the country that hosted the 2014 Games participate.

“What worries me is that the Olympic Games are due to start in February, and when is our presidential election? In March,” Putin told workers at a Ural Mountains factory, according to Russian news agencies. “There are very strong suspicions that all that is done because someone needs to create an atmosphere of discontent among sports fans and athletes over the state’s alleged involvement in violations and responsibility for it.”

The United States, he said, “wants to create problems in the Russian presidential election in response to our alleged interference in theirs.”

Real talk here: all Olympic athletes take performance enhancing drugs. In fact, all pro-athletes take them as well. Anyone who thinks American athletes aren’t taking HGH and other drugs probably also believes in Santa Claus and the tooth fairy.

If you believe these guys are all clean, I have a bridge to sell you.

The fact is that it’s basically impossible to screen all athletes for everything. The tests take too long, are too expensive and the logistics don’t add up. So as long as the coaches know about the testing procedures that a given competition will adopt, they can easily choose which drugs to use (and what timing protocol to adopt) in order to pass them.

No competitive organization is going to be willing to spend 95% of its budget on drug testing. And unless they do so, then all athletes are going to be juiced up in one way or another.

But this also means that if an organization is willing to spend a few million dollars to make more extensive testing on a given set of athletes after the fact, they will always turn out to be on some sort of drugs. I don’t know what the details of the case against the Russian athletes is, but I’m 99% sure that if the same tests are conducted on the other athletes competing against Russia, they’ll turn out just as guilty. In other words, this targeted testing of Russians is a scam.

And I have a sneaking suspicion that Jews are behind it.
