Do you believe that Chinese swimmer ye shiwen was doping?

How did the UK gain third place?

what happened was that a lot of people started making jokes and memes about how London hosts the Olympics and GB can't even muster up a single gold medal. the error here was the timing, they were too early. now they are quiet.

I suspect she was but since there's no proof then there's nothing you can do about it but say congratulations and keep a close eye on her.

Why do sportsman use the doping anyway ? All of them are discovered ,or maybe not because maybe a lot of them uses doping and only a handful are discovered .

Some are discovered, some are not. But even if they are, by the time they are discovered they have made a fortune in winnings and endorsements. Even if conclusive proof of doping for Michael Phelps, Usain Bolt, or Lance Armstrong were to emerge tomorrow and every title and record stripped from them, they would still be tens of millions of dollars richer than they would be without doping.

Unlikely, since the Chinese might want to win at all costs but don't like losing face, which a disqualification would bring. However, if their chemistry labs did come up with something that's undetectable, it's a different story.

It's not like the Chinese haven't been caught doping before in Swimming, and their continual denials even after being caught red handed (when other countries would force the athletes to admit the cheating and launch an "investigation", whether they actually clean up or not) make one suspicious of more widespread institutional doping.

Not to mention the Chinese Athletic complex's similarities to those of the Soviet Union and East Germany.

Only a handful are discovered. There is no reason someone can't use anabolic steroids while practicing and plan a calendar so that their urine will be clean when they are made to test. There are also anabolic steroids and other booster drugs that can't even be detected in drug tests. Most athletes probably don't dope but I like to believe that some of them do.

I think it's about time we legalized anabolic steroids, and divided all leagues and sports into two different branches. One regular division where you compete without having used anabolic steroids, and another where everyone is allowed to use anabolic steroids. The world would be a much better place if we could make it work this way.

We're still at the stage where athletics are treated as a sacred cow which has to be somehow held pure, though that's slowly eroding. It becomes more interesting when gene modifications start creeping up in outstanding athletes.

LOL that was South African runner Caster Semenya. Her hips were so narrow there wasn't any baby coming out of there!

LOL It's even in the name!

The only ones using doping are 15 year old American girls.

I guarantee china has wasted exorbitant amounts of money on "developing" (technical term, otherwise known as: "stealing") doping technology that can fool the testers. I'd wager that every chinese athlete is working with some form of state mandated doping at some level.

I am quite sure they are not the only ones...
