andydude Posted January 19, 2016 Share Just some sapiens have bigger lung capacity, better heart function, stronger mind or maybe better pain threshold and for sure lighter on the scale? So no......me personally.....I don't think they are JUST homo sapien......there is some physiological differences in some that helps. Nothing worshippy.....just putting it out there.I'm sure we have the same level of athletes especially if you take into account SA's facilities and talent identification (read lack of). I don't think the Europeans are born with special powers. Imagine how great SA can develope sports and athletes if we had the same budgets as other countries! nonky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure which is worse....the administrators or the dopers? nonky and andydude 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to a previous poster on this thread, you get Kevin Evans vs. the Europeans. NelAndre and Tumbleweed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLEASK Posted January 19, 2016 Share Looking at SAIDS financial statements, their total income for 2014 was roughly R33 000. They spent roughly R7000 of that on doping control. There is no doubt that they are under funded and cannot do their job with what they get. I'm amazed they manage to catch anyone. Most of their funding comes from the department of Sport and Recreation. Tax funded in other words. Perhaps you are right, more funding is needed. Lotto?

BarHugger Posted January 19, 2016 Share well you post sounds a lot like hero worship. Europeans being so much more gifted etc etc etc. . they're homo sapien. Live and breathe oxygen, drink h2o and often with a smatterings of C2H6O. I'm sure they just train harder from a younger age.Slowly touch the ground....now walk away from that horse...it is a high horse...

Haha, usually Financial statements are derived in thousands or millions. In this case it's thousands so it's R33 000 x 1000. Sorry to be a pain in the arse 'Bean Counter'.

nonky Posted January 19, 2016 Share So why do they not take out one week out of the year, test every single elite rider out there and sommer suspend all at the same time???!! Only problem is that we will only be able to watch downhill for the next 2-4 years I guess... I say well done for catching these guys and keep on getting rid of them Regarding the "only able to watch downhill", remember when the SNOWBOARDERS at the Winter Olympics got busted for WEED and lost their medals? raptor-22 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
