So…#russia have run the furthest of any team at this year’s #WorldCup18 triggering the inevitable discussion about the suspicion that would already have existed, given many suspicions. I wanted to share a few thoughts on this, so here’s a short thread...
First, whether or not there is doping in football is an unnecessary question. I don’t even understand why people discuss this as a “are they, aren’t they question”. This is as true of Russia as pretty much every team.
