The Doping Thread

What is the definition of "looking into it?"

Clearly entertained by the question, Wada's Polish president Witold Banka joked: "Ski jumping is very popular in Poland so I promise you I'm going to look into it."*

there's "looking" and then there's "investigating".

Oops well that doesn't really tell us what he's looking at or investigating what - body part or actions of injecting

Poles. Don't look at me like that.
 

None of the athletes who competed at the Milan Cortina Olympics tested positive for doping violations, according to an analysis of more than 3,000 samples collected during the Winter Olympics. Future tests could change the Games’ clean record, but as it stands, this was the first Winter Olympics since the 1998 Nagano Games to not have a positive result.

Of the 31 revoked medals in 2012, 15 were initially won by Russians. Four more medals were revoked due to Russian doping at the Sochi Games, and another during the 2016 Rio Games. Russian sports officials were fined and banned from various posts by the International Olympic Committee, and the country was required to contribute $15 million to ITA’s creation in 2018.

The fact that Russian athletes had to go through an additional screening process in order to be Independent Neutral Athletes probably helped.
