I told my wife (chinese national) and her response: Why the hell you automatically think when we are good at something that we must cheat Well let's see 2 chinese in top 50km walk and 3 chinese in top 20km walk ..... Something does not smell right and I guess everybody with common sense must spot that. Canada4thewin and thiago_simoes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something does not smell right and I guess everybody with common sense must spot that. This is my viewpoint at this point (for all Olympic sports). Either very few people are doping and WADA is trying to catch people, or WADA is only catching certain people that they want too (scenario I hate the most), or more likely in some sports everyone is doping (so competition is somewhat fair) and in other sports not many are and those that do get caught (fair). “Sport has the power to change the world.

I think there are a few sports where doping does not give any big advantage - especially accuracy and agility sports - shooting, boxing, archery, tennis, gymnastics,badminton, hockey, football ..... So they tend to be clean..... But there are sports where doping gives huge advantages - strength and speed sports - weightlifting, - cycling, atheletics, swimming and to some extent wrestling ---- here doping is rampant and technology to catch dopers is always 3-5 years behind doping........... Also some countries are covering up doping or because of huge money there are well set up commercial organisations........

I don't know much about music, much less I don't know Italian singers. In Italy, the fact that the climate is warm and in long hair would be a problem. I am too short in the forum to know everyone.
