I'm not sure if y'all or ignorant or just trolling. You named 4 people going back 35 years, of course you could name more (as you can for every country that's been prominent) but that has NO relation to what Russians are doing.



Doping in Russia - Wikipedia

From 2011 to 2015 alone they used the switching-out of urine samples to conceal 643 positive drug tests.




Read the whole article - they supplied drugs to the athletes, falsified tests, helped athletes avoid tests, impersonated enforcement officials, covered up positive tests after-the-fact with bribes, broke into testing labs to switch out samples, hacked computer records to manipulate data, bugged the homes and offices of compliance staff, and even assassinated people who they thought were going to expose doping activities.

What Russia did isn't comparable to any other country on Earth and certainly not the USA.

I wouldn't be surprised if the man who was overseeing the Russian doping program who then fled to America and currently in Witness Protection isn't now doing the same thing for America. :manny:

So you're suggesting that America's doping is so inferior to Russia that they'd place a Russian in charge of their operation the moment he landed? :jbhmm:


You think CIA agents are breaking into testing facilities and switching out samples?

You think the FBI is bugging homes and hacking computers to hide doping?

You think Biden is ordering hits on people he suspects of being doping whistleblowers?


Saying dumb shyt like this is why hacks like Russia get away with as much as they did. Absolutely flagrant behavior and yet just throwing out "everyone does it" with no evidence. NO ONE in American government gives a shyt about medal counts to the degree that they would pull russia-level or china-level cheating at the national level, that's not what the nation's cred is based on. I mean fukk, they barely even care for their athletes' basic needs but you think they're going to devote state resources to helping them cheat?

You know who I'm talking about and know what his job was. And your being extra for no reason.

Your telling me that if you had a world renown doping expert in your possession better yet you are protecting him from your biggest political and sporting rival you ain't going to ask him how to beat the system. Hes a scientist he lives for the science.

Acting like America didnt allowed Nike to fund a doping program for middle and long distance runners for nearly 2 decades. And it only came to the end because the guy who was put in charge of it was caught trafficking drugs.

Exactly. The Phillipines woman who won a weightlifting gold medal is getting from the country: $660,000 cash, a house, a condo, and free flights for life from AsiaAir airlines. If the US (with ALOT more money) cared about its athletes, they would be seeing this love instead of $37k for a gold medal.
Can’t expect the US to pay as much when you’re consistently putting up more medals per olympics than some of these countries have in a lifetime of competiting

Nah, dont agree with that. The US has infinite more money the these other countries, and you are on this worldwide stage repping the COUNTRY. Im not saying $600k for each gold medal, but its can be much more then what is given. This is an every 4 year world stage event.

The 46 medals won by the US so far as a team would only add to $1.2 million. In the small ass Phillippines, this ONE gold medal (and the houses, free flights, etc) would equate to the same amount. There is no excuse for that here in the US.

It is. The US has too many medals and frankly doesn’t care. Go get your wheaties box or Nike endorsement and KIM. The US cares about its big 3 pro leagues (big 4 with hockey) and that’s it :manny:
