Landertinger was damn close again to a medal but damn you last shooting (as well as Eder's first shooting).

Really interesting article here on doping in Biathlon and just how rampant it is (I'm not going to lie I just read it to feel slightly better about cycling):
https://mobile.nyt...;referrer=
Catlin last week admitted publicly — for the first time — that those three positive tests at the Salt Lake Games were only “the tip of the iceberg” of the positive tests for darbepoetin in Salt Lake City. He told me that two biathletes from those Games had also tested positive for the drug on the final day, but that he and the International Olympic Committee president at the time, Jacques Rogge, had decided against pursuing their cases because “it would raise a huge stink around the world.”
It also could have created major legal problems. Catlin and Rogge suspected that the first three athletes who tested positive for darbepoetin would challenge those cases at the Court of Arbitration for Sport. They would question the science, the paperwork and the procedures. For Catlin and the I.O.C., it would require putting together three complex, but airtight, legal cases. Preparing two extra cases, Catlin said, seemed untenable.
“If you lose in C.A.S., you got a lot of egg on your face, so Jacques asked me one question, ‘Can you win the C.A.S. case?’ ” Catlin said of the initial three positives. “I said, ‘Yes, but it will take a lot of work just for these three.’ So we decided to stop there. We couldn’t risk taking on all five. Lose just one of those and your credibility on the issue is shot.”
So the two biathletes, who were never identified publicly, got lucky. That’s such an outrageous notion that I had Catlin repeat it to me several times.
[...]
In a report this week by the German broadcaster WDR, two journalists traveled to Moscow to buy a powerful drug called full-size MGF, which increases muscle size and strength but has been tested only on animals. They said the person who sold them the drug, which is not detectable using current antidoping drug screenings, was a scientist at the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Also, give the guys next time a decent ski. Terrible how much slower Landertinger was in the downhill and flat than the other guys...

That too of course, I kinda wanted to imply that with the ski-comment as well.

Seriously? How can anyone be surprised about Netherlands clean sweep? I'd be surprised if it didn't happen.
Bjørndalen admits to making a "tactical error" by not chasing Beatrix more than he did, he had a lot left in the tank.
Edit: And the IOC can go suck a schlong.
