Again? They appealed it a couple of days ago as well.

I know it's different governing bodies, but it's crazy to me that it took over 2 years to officially DQ the Russian figure skater who actually tested positive at the time (and they still didn't dq her team, like they do with every other team), yet it took like 5 hours to hand down this decision. Not to mention the Chinese dopers. Different rules for big/small countries.

Yeah it’s very sad. Had no problem instantly penalizing us but complete proof of Chinese widespread doping in swimming and nothing at all . In fact did everything to fight against it

Looks like Canada might have to get through the refs as well as France in this basketball game.

LOL, Canada can't sink a bucket to save their lives.

Women’s basketball team sucks, and are extremely overrated what a surprise 

 

We’re on for another repeat of our group stage exit, yet again.

Outscored 21-0 in the 2nd quarter (so far). This is a very, very bad team. Like, one of the worst I've ever witnessed. It's embarrassing.

Excited to see what he can do in the future, he’s still young.
