Sir Darwin did not see this coming that his theory would be applicable beyond living beings. Today, we are having an unfortunate gift of the 21st century when many wars have gone beyond their primitive concept of "honor and glory". For some time now, we have been experiencing this 2.0 beta version of "Cold wars" and controversies.

Even though it is an evolution of the human brains, but you would say at least this is not blood-shed, they are less harmful but, "Are they really less harmful?". Let me share this eye-opening research, which says that human brain cannot differentiate between 'emotional & physical pain' (Prof. Fogel).  That means for humans, its one and a same thing and the cold wars are as much deadly as their ancestors. Like any other major events in the world, this FIFA couldn't stay out of such cold war and heart acing tactics. So, lets overview.

No later than the FIFA 2018 was approaching fast in Russia, that a huge amount of ink was spilled to darken the Russian side with one of the most famous recent missile:

Russian player's doping effect:

These political kicks fired-up early this year when worries from all (mostly west) corners of the world started pouring in with fears that Russia might win this world cup due to heavy doping of their players & with a high possibility of FIFA getting affected by it. 

Russia & FIFA denied the fact with Russian team doctor (Eduard Bezuglov) said to media:

“I’m ready to bet on a bottle of milk that the English have not given samples as often,” the doctor said, apparently playing up his squad’s healthy lifestyle. “So people should focus on themselves and have nothing to fear.”

But, when Russia came-in with a force and started with knocking off "Saudi Arabia with a 5-0" & later "Egypt with 3-1". Critics (or some call haters) couldn't resist but to bring-up the topic & delivering stats. For example, Mr. James Hodari said: 

Enjoyed watching Russia in WorldCup. But I'm skeptical of the huge step-up in performance from a nation with a history of state-sponsored doping. Decided to have a look at distance run and every team fell within 1.4 standard deviations of the mean... Except for Russia

Yes, figure do look horrible. Russian team was collectively covering more distance in the field than any other team

Then came in the "Russia vs Uruguay" with all the expectations of a huge match, but wait, what? Uruguay won with 3-0? That is insane, where did all the doping chemical go? Expired, ran-out of gas or simply this time they faced a tougher team. Where is the tweet for this Sir James? Why there is a huge silence? 

"I think we just love conspiracies, chaos & above all political kicks of emotional pain" 

Hoping to get unbiased perspectives, which can bring harmony and not division

PS: I am not from Russia or hate anyone. I wish that we may exclude politics from sports & humanity may surpass the barriers of illusions to see the world as it is.
