- Bad mouthing my country, without substantiated cause!
- Hence, no logic in any of his arguments!
- Should be ashamed of himself for selling out to Russian chauvinists!
- If he is a native speaker of English, he should go back to school.
Timothy, wake up and smell the coffee. You grovelling little panderer of Russian drivel.
First of all the fact that Russian athletes were asked for urine samples is no big deal. There were hundreds of other athletes who were also asked for urine samples as well as blood samples, in total 407 urine and 147 blood samples. Russia's athletes were not the only ones who were singled out so stop crying. WADA or the World Anti-Doping Association has its rules as does the IOC. National sporting bodies were to submit lists of their athletes that were tested and in fact ban the athletes themselves. Maybe Russia, which as usual never likes to owe up to anything it has done wrong and didn't submit a list thus drawing attention to its athletes. That wouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.
Now let me address the second point our little droog Timothy makes. "The death of a Georgian athlete on a corner which miraculously was elevated the following day..." Firstly, that athlete has a name! Oh I forgot, Georgians are no one in your opinion... And if Moscow had it there way they would have gone all the way to Tsibisi in the Summer of 2008. His name is Nodar Kumaritashvili! Why did I use "is" - because I will remember him, as if he were still alive. The evil part of you really wanted to write, "one less Georgian to worry about!"
His death was an accident. Athletes knew the track was fast had been on it earlier, and were stating they were having troubles with the section of the track called 50-50, why didn't they seriously complain about it. Because athletes who compete in such a sport know their sport is dangerous and really don't overburden themselves with thinking of such matters. Besides, just because the track was in Canada, it had to be sanctioned by the International Luge Federation and other bodies. So cut out with the first cheap shot at my country. Athletes expected to compete on that track were not Mr. Bean types, they are elite athletes, accidents do happen in such sports and this is not the first time someone has died. It just happened at an international event.
Yvonne Cernota died in a bobsled training accident on March 12, 2004 and was the 42nd to die in that sport since 1924 according to an article in Stern. Our droog Timothy the babbles about some Lobby, and Russian commentators. But who those commentators are and what qualifications they have the world will never know. Regarding Koresteleva's request for a urine sample, big deal. Read what I said above about doping.
Regarding the far north. We know your government with its continued imperialistic ambitions has its eye on our north and the treasures that lie below the ice. Yes, Canada does have its problems but that is our business and we are dealing with it and our people will hold our government to task on them. Don't you wish that your people could actually gather in front of the Kremlin and protest wrong doing of your so called 'elected' officials, who send out their agents to muzzle people who have a legitimate cause to be pissed off a their government.
Regarding your disparaging remarks about our so called inferiority complex, who to hell are you with such a name commenting on Canada and who we are. You must be a Labour Party member who now lives in Moscow. Do you not know who burnt down the White House? Who won the Battle of Vimy Ridge? They were Canadians... who had more balls than the stinking little pinkos who overthrew a Tsar and became despots. Stalin was equally as bad as Hitler... He had his own plans for Europe, and continued incarcerating people and killing them, millions of them. Are you are proud of that?
Figure skating does not belong in the Olympics! Nor do other sports which are judged by people and therefore subjective. Your little poor loser Plushenko should maybe be thankful that he has sponsors to support him. Your government is too busy keeping its Generals happy! What better way to ensure more money the military. Blame things on the Chechens! Russia received what it got from so called 'terrorists' because of its actions in the past.
Regarding the one unfortunate incident which you cite does not in any way prove that conditions were dangerous. I don't think that your athletes had any problems with our law enforcement officials, which almost everyone visiting your does. Yes it was unfortunate that a young Georgian athlete lost his life, but life, freedom and democracy are things that Canadians and its Government values. It is also unfortunate that Russia, is no longer the powerhouse in sports that the Soviet Union was, but I am sure Nodar and his compatriots would rather compete under their own flag, just like the Armenians, Azerbaijani, Belorussians, Estonians, Kazakhs, Latvians, Lithuanians, Ukrainians and all others that were imprisoned by Moscow.
Please do tell me why there are people in your wonderful country still applying to emigrate to Canada? I don't think that your claims of danger in Canada will cause the citizen of the Russian Federation who has submitted immigration papers to Canada to withdraw their applications. Some of them have tasted true freedom, and they know it is not where they live now.
Oh besides all that, couldn't your people compose a more original national anthem? And regarding your analogy of mutton and sheep. There is no logic to it at all! If you are a native speaker of English with a name like yours, you really must learn how to write! If not good on you mate for making up such a pseudonym. I hope they pay you a lot of money, so that if and when you ever set foot on Canadian soil, our border control people will refuse you entry, and then you have to spend all of your money in no-mans-land in one of our ports of entry and spend all your hard earned money. Who am I kidding, you wouldn't have the balls to visit Canada after the vitriolic crap you spewed out about my country in your article.
