Yes, because anti-doping tests have been sooooooooo efficient to catch cheaters for the last decades obviously. I can't believe people still use that non-argument on a sports forum in 2021.

 

PS: British journalists are among the only ones to have dig up some dirt on their own athletes.

Ah yes, we should disqualify people based on what DeGambassi or Orangeman or OlympicsFan or other big experts think it's obvious, it' much more reliable and fair than doing anti-doping tests

That entire USA team were probably all doping. The other two big names well Jackie was related to her and Carl has been accused many times. 

 

Carl Lewis failed three doping tests during 1988 US Olympic Trials. He admitted it back in 2003 already. It's common knowledge he was a cheater too.

None of us are running the show if you didn't notice. We are not in power of disqualifying anyone, this is not what is happening here. you're making a silly argument.

 

AFAIK, there is no rules on this board that forbidden us to talk of the likelihood of someone being doped even he if hasn't be caught.

Yet the BBC were going heavy on him tweeting about the USA relay flop. Michal Johnson did not look happy and admitted him and Carl Lewis very rarely agree. 
 

The rumour has always been that it might have went higher and they were threats to boycott Seoul if Americans got caught and exposed.

Indeed, that was the 2nd funniest moment of these Games- a Brit getting caught immediately after Brits complained that they had been beaten by someone who would surely be caught within days.

I actually do wonder if his defence will end up being he was set up because he is a Brit.

Maybe, you'll realise that this is not a 'Brit' thing. A shit load of people around the world has raised concerns about him which is very much normal considering his own story and the discipline he excels at.

    • It's good that Argentina is starting to get back on track economically. Every year, all of our alpine skiing teams train in August in Argentina in Ushuaia: "Fine del Mundo", as it advertises itself.
    • The relation of Trump with Russia and, more specific, with Putin is probably the most controversial (being generous) thing of the presidence of Trump, i dont believe the same but is clearly that China help democrats in that election, both are playing their games.   In Argentina the society is clearly divided, the people who are in the left side of the politics, peronist and kirchnerism are very against the goverment, propably the only genuine "rigth-wing" goverment since the recovery of the democracy in 1983. For me and the most part who are in the rigth wing: libertarians, nacionalist and conservatives, is probably the best goverment we see to this days, he made in his first year with a very few legislators in the congress some big and good changes:   1) In the economical: the inflation is only 3% per month since a more of 15% in the last months of the last year, Argentina has now fiscal, financial and comercial surplus-   2) Our country didnt have fighter planes and the goverment buy 24  American F16  -   3) He chances the electoral sistem for a "single ballot" sistem, we have an obsolete electoral sistem that doesnt change from the 19 century and specially, the peronist use for make fraud.   4) In my personal case, he really update the tax sistem for smal/medium profesionals and traders.......and that save us to pay the 50% of our earnings to the state.   With a big expectations in the goverment, its better than i thinked before.
    • It could be better, or it could be much worse, for example, if the accusations that he has been accepting large amounts of money from Russia since 2017 are confirmed. Now let Harris win, which will end Trump's political career and I hope that in 4 years the Republicans will put up someone more predictable.     btw, how is this controversial president of Argentina doing?
    • More predictable is not always better, for me the goverment of Biden was one of the worst of the History of USA and i cant imagine what can happen with even a worse version like Harris is.   I hope, for the contrary, Trump be elected and "may be" the things changes for the better in the world.
    • I once read that Harris had never been to Europe before 2020, when she became vice president. On the other hand, her foreign policy will be more predictable, because it will be a continuation of Biden's policies. That is why I hope Harris wins, although the bookmakers are betting on Trump.
    • Harris is totally green on foreign policy. It will probably be a policy 100% led by Biden's people. Harris' main campaign emphasis is on abortion and women's rights.
    • So much for "everybody's laughing at us if we elect Harris"
    • My favorite tennis tournaments of the year (wta/atp finals)
    • was also invited to the special edition of the Bolivarian Games and seems like  is not participating.
