Today, the Estonian Federation will have a live press conference with Veerpalu in the center of it, and they will formally anounce his positive test. It will also reveal a deeper, more complex network that Veerpalu and other top athletes have been a part of for years.

There's lots of doping news, in short.<br /><br />On that point, I'm sorry I never responded to your earlier comment, Anonymous/XCRules.
