Boots The Arda Cup Responds

by: Kuruharan, The Underground

Bywater

The Underground recently obtained and interview with Boromir88, president of the Arda Cup to get his response to the doping allegations.

"The only PED legalized by the committee is 1 liter of ent-draught, and only players registered as Hobbits are approved to drink a liter of ent-draught before the tournament. Any non-Hobbit caught with ent-draught in their system will face the appropriate level of punishment.

1st offense is a fine, 2nd offense is suspension from the tournament the following year, and 3rd time offenders are permanently banned from all Arda Cup affiliated events.

Now, it is true by the Arda Cup's regulations that whole Miruvor is a performance-enhancing drug. However, any drink with under 2% miruvor content is qualified as skim miruvor and thus is an energy drink, not a PED. Each year, Elrond submits his batch of miruvor for testing, and if it 2%, or under, miruvor content than Eregion is in no violation of laws regarding PEDs.

We are awaiting the results of this years batch."

Forlong the Fat, lead attorney for the Gondor side had this response.

"When was this mysterious new rule regarding miruvor implemented? I've never heard of it before today? And why was only Eregion allowed this sweet deal and no other team had heard of it? And why was the testing not completed before the Arda Cup? At the rate we are going now the results won't be completed until months after the Cup is over.

I can assure the public, that in the interests of fair play and integrity, we will not cease our investigations until all our questions have been satisfactorily resolved.

Several members of the Barad-dur team, who just got their heads handed to them by Eregion, also weighed in on the topic.

Fellbeast #1 had this to say, "SHRIEEEEK, *snort* wheeeeeze *munch munch* SHRIEEEEK"

Shagrat echoed those sentiments. In part he said, "The fix is clearly in. Not only is the committee allowing certain teams to use PED but they are essentially refusing to look into the allegations. They have been bought."

Boromir88 allegedly tried to have both players dragged out back and shot. No word yet on whether he succeeded.
