You have a document of dopig state in China? Actually no. So, actually they are clean.

 

Please ,can we move from the not caught athletes = clean athletes mantra. Since the Armstrong case, it really something that has lost most of its substance.

 

Considering the very weak efficienty of the doping tests, they can't be used as a defintive proof of the 'cleanness' of an athlete.

how many americans winning medals in Weightlifting? 0 , Pretty safe to assume that we are not doping there

So were all other Olympic champions just a few weeks ago. When it comes to China it will ALWAYS be suspicious, they just have leverage.

Not necessarily  

 

Most of the dopers actually never win any medal. Considering the number of cases we have in this sport, the very heavy doping culture that is rife since pretty pretty much ever, it's safe to assume any weightlifter in Rio will be a doper unless proven otherwise (much like cycling at the end of the 90's)

Indeed it's a shame people only care about the more famous athletes  

 

Oh well, luckily the less famous athletes have the real sports fans to support them as well

By the way, Dutch media is apparently already 100% sure that the ban for these three nations will start before the Olympics, meaning they'd miss the Olympics entirely. Any other media in other nations reporting the same? Because as far as I know, IWF hasn't confirmed at all when the bans would start. Though it makes sense if it happens before the Olympics, because I'm guessing they'd start as soon as all the cases are confirmed by the IOC.

It seems so.

I guess we'll have to wait 2 or 3 months to find out who is qualified.
