Mark Chan got a reaction from LuizGuilherme in Swimming Qualification to Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games
If Popovici is from a wealthy Western European country or USA, no one will question his legitimacy...
Such is the hypocrisy

People all over the internet did the same thing regarding Hosszú in Rio, I remember how Americans were saying online after the 200 back final that "DiRado beat the doper".
Innocent until proven guilty.

Yes, my friend, I'm so glad you said it.
As you see, he's been accused of doping by users from China - who should be expelled forever from Olympics for systematic doping, and Italy - who's by no means clean. Surprisingly, no americans jumped in...so far

Both Ian Thorpe and Michael Phelps won their first Worlds gold at the age of 16.
Would be incredible to see David Popovici win OLYMPICS gold at 16!

David Popovici is amazing. I hope he takes gold in Tokyo. Very rare for a young male swimmer to have so much early success.
We maybe seeing the greatest swimmer since Michael Phelps in the making.

Mark Chan got a reaction from Vic Liu in Countries who did not win medal in 2016 but could win in 2020?
Hong Kong.
Vault (Men) : Shek Wai Hung
Track Cycling (Women) : Lee Wai Sze
Swimming (Women) : Siobhan Haughey
Shek Wai Hung has two 6.0 difficulty vault, the most difficult ones in the world.
If he can land on his feet, he will definitely medal, even taking gold.
Lee Wai Sze had won a bronze in London Olympics. She can medal in two sprint events.
Siobhan Haughey is in great form. She is swimming PBs this year. The problem is that her best event - 200m freestyle is packed. (Ariarne Titmus and Katie Ledecy will probably go 1st and 2nd...)

Every athlete from every nation should be checked by international agencies. There's no denying though that extra tests for the Russians at the moment is a good thing, since they were on a state-sponsored doping program.

And yet we had cases like Sharapova. Clearing them in five minutes is unprofessional, they are supposed to make individual analysis of each athlete.

He is my favourite since 2007. Maybe even earlier than some Serbians.

Mark Chan reacted to orangeman in Doping Cases and Bans Thread (2016 & 2017)
So instead clean athletes from every other country now suffer. Even clean athletes from Russia will not be taken seriously in Rio. No one will trust their accomplishments, and worse they will be blamed for taking medals away from more deserving competitors. Maybe that is unfair to clean Russians, but they have no one else to blame but their own national Olympic committee.
The irony is that Russians believe they are being treated unfairly due to politics, when in reality if this was a small or less powerful nation, like India or New Zealand, they would have been banned months ago when the whispers first started. The only reason Russia is getting away with this is because it is Russia, and if they want to stop being accused of cheating then they should stop cheating. The victim card is getting old.

Mark Chan reacted to carivan in Doping Cases and Bans Thread (2016 & 2017)
It's about paying for your crimes. Sochi might be done and over but being banned as a nation because as a nation you cheated your way to 13 gold medals would be a fit punishment. It'd send a message that this kind of shit is unacceptable. Going with "what's done is done" is irresponsible sick enabling and a mockery of the effort and sacrifices clean athletes go through during every 4 years cycle.

You are right! Banned athletes shouldn't be allowed to compete. Gatlin makes me sick.
