They have a lot more good and successful examples too. Besides, when you usually have the best athletes in a given sport, it's expected that somehow cheaters will try hard to join the team as well so they can keep up. China is not the best in swimming, and Russia tries to be the best in everything but they mostly fall flat on their faces when competing against clean American swimmers. It's not hard to figure out, really. Edited July 28, 2019 by thiago_simoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Efimova is a lot more humble when faced with criticism. Everybody is free to choose who to admire, of course, so more power to you. opruh and vinipereira 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just enjoy this freak show and take it for what it is, same as the athletics world championships or the Tour de France. Again and again? I said it once. Anyway, if you read my posts you would know I wasn't accusing Smith of doping, I was saying Americans are quick to blame other countries when they have such sudden success.

"Let's ignore the fact that more american athletes have their olympic medals stripped off because of doping but focus on their clean athletes, then proceed to label a nation with a much cleaner record as a cheat." Impressive, you're a good and well behaved fanboy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the second, third, fourth, fifth chance you're talking about, you mean like that american athlete who thinks his bolt's biggest rival just because he doped three fucking times. You're biased is disgusting. I'm glad China topped the medal table once again, now you have a new reason to be bitter and sourgrape for another year.

He pushed a female Brazilian swimmer during practice once, confronted a fellow swimmer on the podium, destroyed possible evidence against him... And China topped the medal table thanks to diving, not swimming. They did not even finish in the top 3 in swimming events, even if you count open water swimming (US, Australia and Hungary were the top 3). My bias can be disgusting all you want it to be, and so is your poor judgement and senseless defense of a convicted doper. intoronto and opruh 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's an asshole so let's called him guilty of doping again when in fact fina ruled out against it... But but wada has a case against him which has no result yet but oh wait let's attack him because he's an asshole. (And pushing a brazilian swimmer, lol at these gossip headlines) 3) Yep your bias is way more disgusting since your silent when it comes to the far worse doping record of america and other western countries. For a forum with an overwhelming members from western countries, I'm glad to be a very loud minority here. LowerSaxony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
