I though the saying went “White men can’t jump”, so now I’m just all kinds of confused. In all fairness this one of like 3-4 Olympic sports where Africans can win medals, so let’s not constantly complain about them maybe. If I started complaining about sports Europe dominates we’d be here for the next century. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Even if they wouldn't dope, they would still dominate. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Even if they wouldn't dope, they would still dominate. At this point either everyone’s doping, or no one's doping, so either way it’s somewhat fair. Even if it goes against human rights and moral ethics. The quote I said is very popular in the US. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
