Man O Man, the debate turned into medical emergency. What next?

I’m reading a science fiction just now in which China is the place you can get ANY kind of genetic alterations from a tail to webbed fingers… This, though, looks further out than even that.

Not doping. They realised the rules don’t actually say it has to be a human.

I’m not surprised.

Ya think?

Look at some of the pictures of the Women Divers – They look quite masculine.

No biggy. That swimmer will never be able to swim the butterfly, backstroke, or breast stroke.

China has always cheated at the Olympics. Why they get away with it is a wonder.

Aquaman would win ALL the medals.

All I can say is its not the first time. Remember when Olympic doping authorities finally caught up to GDR[East Germany] doping in the 1980s?

That’s nothing. In America we have an entire republican party that’s full of ’’dopes’’.

And as long as officials turn a blind eye doping will continue……

And this would be new exactly, how? With China or Russia,

American Olympic swimmer Michael Brinegar has been handed a four-year ban for blood doping.

The United States Anti-Doping Agency (Usada) said Brinegar, 24, had irregularities between July to September 2022 found in his Athlete Biological Passport.

It said the highly “abnormal blood values” were “caused by blood doping”.

Is genetic engineering banned by the world antidoping agency? They call him CRISPR, CRISPR faster than lightning . . .

“… At last week’s U.S. Olympic Trials, Michael Brinegar competed in the prelims of the 400 and 800 freestyle but withdrew from the 1500, his best event, after the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) reimposed a suspension for irregular findings in his Athlete Biological Passport, which the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency believed to be signs of blood doping.

Brinegar was provisionally suspended August 18, 2023 to November 27, 2023, and all results achieved in the months after the adverse finding was recorded (July 20-December 31, 2022) were disqualified. Brinegar’s provisional suspension was overturned by an independent arbiter in November, but he learned in January that USADA was appealing to CAS to get his suspension reinstated. He was allowed to continue competing until a ruling was made, and that happened midway through Olympic Trials, resulting in Brinegar’s absence from the mile.

One month after learning of USADA’s appeal, Brinegar sat in limbo as he competed in the 10-kilometer open water swim at the World Championships in Doha, where a top-10 finish or being the highest-placed finisher among swimmers from the continent would result in qualification to swim the event at the Paris Olympics.

Ivan Puskovitch was the top American in that race, placing 14th to Brinegar’s 19th, avoiding any further controversy for the Olympics with Brinegar now suspended. However, he did compete in that Worlds race while under appeal, denying another a swimmer a chance to push for a spot in Paris. …"

OK. I’ll say it. Is China doing this on porpoise?

Instead of the dolphin kick we need to play Kick-the-Dolphin.

Are you sure that isn’t Russia?

When it comes to Solar and EV’s, Definitely!

What, are you new here? Of course they’re doping. Same with the russkies. Can’t trust any of ’em.
