I think it is reasonable to view Bulshunov and Spitsov crushing victories in the Skiathlon as suspicious. In an event usually one on the margins, they crushed everyone.

I don't actually know how the ROC team works - do they have to jump through extra hoops to prove that they've not been involved with the systemic doping? Feels like they should.
It's not the years, honey. It's the mileage.
