Uhm, that's not at all what the CAS said. It held that there was significant evidence that the doping program existed, though it didn't rule on it one way or the other, because that was beyond the scope of the hearing. All it said was that, despite the evidence that the program as a whole did exist, there was insufficient evidence to link the individual athletes to it.

Based on rumour and hearsay? And on the testimony of four individuals who shall remain nameless? How convenient.
I know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy...
What a disgrace.

The rumor and hearsay and four anonymous witnesses you are referring to have nothing whatsoever to do with the evidence of the existence of the program, which is much greater than that. You've fallen for the output of a dishonest propaganda page.

When it quotes the CAS as saying, ". . . bare assertion which is uncorroborated by any contemporaneous documentary evidence," it wants you to think that this refers to Rodchenkov's assertions about the existence of the program, when it is a much narrower statement, namely that Rodchenkov cannot link a particular individual, Alexander Legkov, to that program. That happens again with Richard McLaren. When the deputy chairman of the Duma, Igor Lebedev says, "Rodchenkov lied about doping in our country, which was to be proved," he is the one that is lying, because that was never what this hearing was about.

What was of further interest is the article did not state exactly who alleged that athletes were using Rodchenkov's "Duchess Cocktail"... "a powerful mix of PEDs allegedly distributed to a list of Russian athletes. Many were later excluded from competing on the basis of the Duchess list." If that's the case what a scam that was because not only did Rodchenkov have no proof to offer that anyone ever used his cocktail but he also admitted "that no test of the effectiveness of the Duchess cocktail was ever conducted, and when asked about its exact make-up, which has been a matter of some contention, he "stated that he needed five minutes to explain, and therefore refrained from doing so." "

Originally posted by Blackbeard View PostNot saying that this is not correct but it's like the MSM...completely one sided. I'd imagine that you've noticed the US propaganda machine operating on all cylinders in the last 20 years or more. Compared to them the Russians look like choir boys. The Russians are always interested in facts thinking that everyone else plays by those respectable and logical rules. The US only points out facts when it serves their agenda, which is rarely. The rest of the time the facts are completely ignored and substituted with complete fabrications their thinking being that most people are too stupid to see through it and will foolishly jump on board with their pom poms. Fortunately, many, and a growing number of US citizens have realized that this is the case. A good thing, that. A very good thing.

"Since these claims have surfaced we have tried to play by the rules against those without rules."
Perhaps something was lost in translation, but if that is an accurate characterization of what was said it's pretty much an admission that prior to the allegations they didn't feel the need to "try and play by the rules."
