What's the point of obsessed with the conspiracy? If we judge athletes by tabloids then why we should sponsor WADA any longer? Its facts. Shiwen's time was faster than the greatest MALE swimmer of all time. https://www.smh.com.au/sport/faster-than-phelps-chinese-girls-mighty-finish-is-the-talk-of-the-games-20120730-23a6w.html.

Very likely happen if you persist protesting in front of China embassy in your country. Success belongs to the persevering. Come on. rafalgorka and opruh 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it no surprise China increased funding to WADA? https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1101523/wada-addiotional-gov-funding so Wada doesn't bite the hand that feeds it? Sadly always there are better and worse countries/athletes which will be treat in different way as it should be done. As well all know there is no fairness in this world.

You don't have to quote these continuously. I know Ye shiwen's performance in 2012 is 4:28'43 and I know Hosszu's performance in 2016 is 4:26'36. opruh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's never going to happen. China is too powerful to allow that to happen. Besides, if you like Tibet so much then Catalonia or the Basque Country should be competing at the Olympic Games too? Why do you give Spain a pass over them? opruh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it is not going to happen, I only have my hopes. And I support Free Tibet more because I really see a huge difference in the way China treats Tibetan nation if you compare it with Basque or Catalonians in Spain. So I wish them especially well.
