    Are Russians capable of doing anything without cheating? Doping minors to cheat in an amateur hockey tournament just seems to be the level of crassness that Russia operates on. I understand why there was pressure to cheat during the Soviet era due to Communist insecurity and need to play politics with athletes, but to cheat in an amateur hockey tournament has to be one of the most base thing that Russia can do even judging by the weak ethics of Russian hockey.

    Lol wow, how disgraceful . What's sad is Russians are amazing at hockey because it's simply their thing, they don't need to cheat to lay down a beating especially on USA teams. This would be just as stupid if Americans sent our top of the line football players to Russia to compete against them, but also were taking steroids lol.

    Didn't China also cheat in the last summer games with their female gymnasts or something?
