He is a disgrace not only for swimming, but also for sport in general. At this point, it's FINA's fault for even allowing him to be here. Same with the Olympics allowing the Russians. Apparently twitching on the starting blocks (not false starting) gets you DQ'd, but doping and smashing the evidence is a-o-k. thiago_simoes and Canada4thewin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

I mean it is one thing to blatantly cheat and then just don't give a shit about what other people think (like Efimova), but how can you cheat so blatantly and then be surprised that other people don't respect you? I almost have the feeling as if he is only surrounded by people in China who treat him like a god and now he doesn't understand why not everyone treats him like that. thepharoah and Canada4thewin 2 Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

dcro 10,196 Posted July 23, 2019 #444 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Park Tae-hwan also got disqualified for faulty start in 2012 (but got reinstated later). I'm surprised that they didn't at least postpone the medal ceremony. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to read Chinese media, I have a feeling he'll be declared a legend there.
