What amounts to a doping scandal in the chess world, a Russian grand master refused to produce urine for a doping test. Apparently peeing in a tube is an insult to his intelligence and honor, but hopefully not his manhood.
Chess, a sport usually associated with old, beady men, maverick Russians and super-computers, has hit the headlines this week after a top Ukrainian player got caught up in a doping scandal.
Professional chess player and grandmaster Vassily Ivanchuk faces a two-year ban from the sport after refusing a drug test at Dresden's Chess Olympiad.
He declined to provide a urine sample after losing to American Gata Kamsky. It’s an insult to his intelligence and honour, claims the chess community.
Ivanchuk may be the first chess player to be caught up in a doping row, but he's certainly not the first sports star to do so, as this rogue's gallery proves:
The photo shows Vassily pondering how pissed off he is about the urine sample. If he has nothing to hide why didn't he just take his king's rook and pee?
Thanks for the information on topics.I was excited for this article.
Thank you again.

All hysteria around those tests just show that every sport is dead this time. It is not something organic or natural nowadays.

This watch is not heavy and once I first put it on I even forgot it was there due to its light weight. I can’t speak to its longevity but for now I am extremely pleased with the watch. The three alarms at first seemed like overkill, but now I use two on a regular basis and use the third alarm as a reminder to head off in time for an appointment.
