I know it's been mentioned before but the man fronting this documentary was not only proven wrong, he was also more or less forced to take on reporting assignments out of the country for several years. He made a formal apology and no evidence has ever been produced that a Norwegian cross country skier has used performance enhancing drugs, despite very heavy, regular testing. Unfortunately, the testing routines aren't anywhere near as rigorous among some of the other prominent skiing nations.

As a matter of fact, one of the greates Norwegian cross country skiier of all time, Thomas Alsgaard, has done extremely well in races recently, several years after his retirement. This should be an indicator that it is very doubtful that he did drugs during his proffesional career.

The Humanplasma part is BS too. They did help athletes dope, but not a single one of them were german, nevermind 20/30.

This fantasy theory can only have come to life in a finnish sauna after 2 bottles of vodka.

Only because Norwegians dominated in times when others were doped, dont have to mean they were doped too? This isnt cycling you see, cross country skiing is more technique than most of you would think. In addition, Norway has always been great at vaxing and gliding for better skiis than the others managed to get.

Alsgaard had brilliant technique, Dæhlie were extremely good at taking out all he got in the races. Combine better skiis, technique and talent and you see HOW WE CAN WIN WITHOUT DOPE!

@ilkkavu You finns really are something arent you. Saying we are the dopers when it always have been the finns that has been caught for using dope so many times while the Norwegians never was caught.

[ilkkavu]

norwegian cross country skiers are HUGE dopers.

papmjny, is Erik Tysse driven away from Norway then ? What about Georg Andersen, Lars Arvid Nilsen, Jan Sagedal, Aham Okeke... where they live now ? Hawaii, Antarktis ?

In papers I have read that highest hemoglobine value was almost 250 given by Kazakhstanian man in mid 90's. His worst rivals had values between 200 - 220 - and Myllyla 190.

Veridopingia tutkinut Tapio Videman sanoo että doping testit on viihdettä ja pari positiivista tulosta tarvitaan uskottavuuden vuoksi. "En jaksa enää uskoa testeihin. Marion Jones testattiin lähes 200 kertaa, eikä ainuttakaan positiivista tulosta. Ja Jones käytti steroideja, epoa ja kasvuhormonia"

[papmjny]

There are whole lot of countries, where sportsmen or trainers have confessed doping use in sports. Finland, Germany, Sweden, Great Britain, France, Italy, USA, Austria, Australia, DDR...Norway not listed here. They are 100% clean. Ask them !

One single man can 100% guarantee, that all their skiiers are not-doped ? Sounds a big lie.
