The world’s top-ranked bridge player has been suspended for at least a year by the World Bridge Federation after he tested positive for two banned substances.
The federation announced Friday a sample provided by Geir Helgemo, 49, at the World Bridge Series in September 2018 tested positive for synthetic testosterone and clomifene – a female fertility drug. More
I thought he would have to be smoking weed to play that game.
That had to have originated at the Babylon Bee or the Onion and then it escaped.
Seriously?
It’s not April 1st yet.
I don’t know … sounds racist to me …
or sexist … or gender-ist … or something …
izlamo delenda est …
Seriously? They test card players? The guy tested positive for testosterone and a female fertility drug. What the hell is that combination supposed to do? And who the hell gives damn? Unless it gives him X-ray vision and allows him to see cards from the backside what difference does it make what a card player does?
Had I only known 50 years ago Id have a lot more Masters points!
but – testosterone and a FEMALE hormone?
That a 7NO TRUMP bid right out of the box!
This is silly. Why is a cognitive competition association applying athletic competition standards when they do not affect performance?
What next Chess?
Shit! we played Eucre full blown lit up….

“This is silly. Why is a cognitive competition association applying athletic competition standards when they do not affect performance?”
Hell, even the athletic competitions apparently don’t test anymore for fear of disqualifying transgenders.
Bridge? As in the card game?
Geir is a man?
Testosterone is female fertility drugs?
Paint me with Tucker Carlson’s confused face.

Now I’m embarrassed. It gave me DeForest Kelley face.
(I think that’s worse. Is it still worse, today?)
With a haircut like that You’d think He owned the Raiders (rimshot)
Maybe the Female Hormones help remind Him of sh*t some other
Player did five Years ago…(scrolls back up and makes sure MJA

I’m having a hard enough time learning to play cribbage with my son. My dad and his older brother were masters at cribbage and taught my son how to play cribbage, now it’s my turn to learn. At this point I think he wants to play cribbage because it not only reminds him of his grandfather but he wants to kick my ass at playing cribbage like his grandfather did to him. And he also has my dad’s old cribbage board.
“synthetic testosterone and clomifene – a female fertility drug.”
He must be a transgender to be taking those two drugs. I saw his picture, can’t tell whether he’s male or a wanna be female. Bridge, what kind of competitive sport is that?
Bridge is a card game, right? Frequently played by foursomes of grannies?
So, how does testosterone improve your bridge game? Do ‘roid rages intimidate your opponents into making mistakes? Does it make you a more aggressive bridger? And why take a female fertility drug; wouldn’t that just cancel out the testosterone?
Mr President, I’m beginning to smell a big fat Commie rat!!
