Since I believe he didn't mention anyone by name (just said the race wasn't clean), he has a few options then 1. Say he didn't mean Rylov (but then someone else can sue him) 2. Say he meant himself, which is also not great Ergo, Murphy could be in trouble (he probably won't, but who knows) If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

"The race was probably not clean" but he wasn't accusing anyone? What, he meant the water was a tad dirty?

Vektor 3,195 Posted July 30, 2021 #494 Share Posted July 30, 2021 The Americans got too used to their dominance in the pool at the past few Games, don't be sore losers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Federer91 2,140 Posted July 30, 2021 #495 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Rylov has been winning this discipline for 5 years now 2x World Champ (LC), 1x World Champ (SC), 2x Euro Champ, has a very good WR. He beat him in the 100 m in 2019 as well. Murphy is a bit late with the accusations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

German TV said virtually every single Russian at the 2012 Olympics was on something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also some British got too obsessed to anti-Russia and even can't miss a single chance. opruh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most athletes are pretty good at avoiding positive tests now a days (including probably many British and American ones). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
