Yawn. I'm not going to sit here all night debating with you over this. I know that you are very cynical about America and so on. That's great.You don’t need to change around my words. The US spends more than China on its athletes. That is total and per capita. We also sent nearly 200 more athletes. You can say the US gov doesn’t give to its athletes, but the counter is college which most countries do not have. That’s why Caribbean nations have gotten so good at track and field.
We still have the best athletes in the world. Point blank.
Stupid & irrelevant point. A few individual athletes doping is not even close to the scope and scale of the state sponsored doping programs of the Soviet Union/East Germans.The US has private sponsored doping programs. It counts.
