Disappointing yet unsurprising that there are more Cartman's in the world than we're willing to admit

You mean ones who fake a disability but then finish dead last because they didn't actually train for any of the events? :D
@@JohnSmith-zw8vp Just goes to show that while they did not have a disability, they were indeed retarded.
How could the non-disabled Spanish basketball players look the two that were disabled in the eye everyday for two years?
I take back my prior comment calling the non-disabled Spanish basketball players “sociopaths”, I commented before watching the video. I can see how they were manipulated into going along with the scheme, especially when the intitial “justification” for doing so, while not morally correct, proved to be factually correct. The fact that other countries WERE doing it too. In their minds, rather than “cheating” they were leveling the playing field for their remaining truly disabled teammates. Which I’m sure was the original motivation that led the disgraced head of the Spanish teams to go down that scandalous path, as it was apparently an open secret this was rampant.
Witnessing a cancellation then notes app apology in real time is crazyy
@@LiveFreeOrDie2A they can't all sociopaths.It's just greed.
I'm sure whatever guilt they felt looking their disabled teammates in the eyes, went away once they looked in to the eyes of whoever is in their currency bills.
Everywhere on YT I see these kinds of comments, "how could (insert) do (so and so)?" *BECAUSE THEY ARE PEOPLE.* We are animals, we crave power and wealth (the latter being things like "territory" in the animal kingdom). When it is dangled in front of them, many take it. Of course not everyone takes it either for fear of repercussion or moral standing, but everyone has the desire to nonetheless. The more widespread, the easier to say "yes."
There really are too many people ignorant of their own nature. You think most people wake up one day and decide "I'm bored, I think I'll cheat from now on"? No. Most don't even give it any thought until the opportunity presents itself. It is that easy to fall from grace. Most bad people aren't sticking their pinky fingers in their mouths and laughing maniacally. Most cheaters, criminals, etc are just people and that is what people are capable of.
This was the most optimistic cheating ever. Obviously someone who knows these people was going to see it somewhere
Such a dumb idea to begin with. As if you can win an Olympic Gold medal for your country and not a single person will recognise you from the media coverage.
That poor 16-year-old coached into believing she had an actual disability by adults in her life, only for her to bear the public outrage and stripping of her medal ): probably ruined her passion for competing and even sporting in general, that’s her whole damn career; I bet a lot of passion and dreams have been crushed by this faking/exaggerating forced on them until they have a rare chance to blow the whistle. No sympathy for those who choose to on their own, but I have to express at least a little for those ‘coached’ into it, especially at age 16….that’s so cruel
Even after cheating, it's hilarious to me that these wretched people STILL couldn't win gold.
The ultimate karma
Just like Cartman.
Cheating in sports, while frowned upon and actively discouraged and humiliated, is what sometimes people do to remain competitive. But this one just takes the cake because they just pretended to be disabled only to take the pride and prize from those who actually deserved it.
Some really quality cheating and lying and the Paralympics the perfect event to put the cheats'n'liars code into a dishonest display of Brazen Hubris.
_Cheating, scamming and lying is indiscriminate, and that’s a lesson the whole world should learn._
I've never heard much about the 2 actually disabled people thank you so much for this extra info on a story I always loved learning about!
Great video. Haven’t heard about this controversy before, and it was disheartening to learn about. I hope there is a speedy solution upon us. Respect to all disabled athletes!
This is awful. Ugh!. I thought the paralympics was really strict? Clearly not. These people make me so angry 😠
it's rlly hard for the paralympics to regulate cheating esp doping bc a lot of athletes r on 'performance enhancing' medication to manage their conditions. it's not rlly reasonable to ask them to stop for the paralympics obv so they have to find where to draw the line between doping and just living while disabled
Sigh. I’m not an athlete by any means but I am physically disabled and this just sucks.
Amglimpse never misses!
Neither do his viewers
Dang I’ve heard of the Spanish team before but I had no idea so many other athletes were doing that as well! Crazy
Jesus I didn't think this happened more regularly that it's "expected"
Never heard of this before, so thanks for sharing. What a Shameful World we live in.
"Whats your disability?" "Well i lost my left leg and right hand in an accident, what about you?"...."O i have wiggly ankles"...
First, love your content and sooo stoked to watch this absolute banger!!!
Thank you for the support!!
This is a good channel! I’m binging rn. Keep ‘em comin!
How bad of a scumbag do you have to be to be comfortable stealing a lifelong goal of winning a medal from a truly disabled competitive athlete, there is a special place in hell for those people. My blood pressure literally climbed upwards as I watched this.
only a matter of time before your channel reaches the status of Nexpo and the like. keep em comin
is there anything that personifies evil more than this story in sports? probably not...i feel awful having heard about it.
I recommend playing this at 1.5x so that his voice is higher and easier to hear, at least on a JBL Extreme speaker.
It’s silly but Johnny Knoxville made a movie called The Ringer. His character claimed to be special needs to win the Olympics.
I feel like that happens a lot, it’s just not reported.
Lol that movie would NEVER fly today but that’s exactly what I thought of as well.
First thing that popped to mine 😂
Is the movie any good?
Anything With the Suffix Lympics Don’t Be Corrupt Challenge: IMPOSSIBLE!
Best channel on earth! 🗣
Now this is just wild. Truly sick individuals to do this.
Money truly is the root of all evil
Addicted to this channel. The voice, the editing, the subjects, all perfect.❤
This is heartbreaking in so many ways.
Goated Video for sure
this ENTIRE video is pure crazy! O_o holy hell!
This is so wild 🤯
Imagine thinking the Spanish team could get away with that?
"Dude that's my neighbour and he's not disabled at all!"
Neighbor
neighbor*
This is an Aussie channel, neighbour*
Canadians spell it with the U, but if people feel they need to correct a regional spelling, that's on them.
@@selenuhknuckleson1536This is an American website, and non-American English is cr*nge. Neighbor.
Surprised you didn't mention the Australian mens cricket team ball tampering.
That wasn't in a competition specifically for people with disabilities, even if it was
I don't get the joke?
Hope to see this channel grow :)
In 1998 Spain didn’t had Euro’s.
this channel doesn’t have nearly enough subs, keep up the good work!
That is.....messed up. No other way I can describe it.
No true sportsman/sportswoman will EVER cheat. Cheaters NEVER win. Winners NEVER cheat.
Cheaters do win though.
@@herbie747 No they don't. Not really.
@@JohnSmith-zw8vp They do win money and fame, which is all those kinds of people care about anyway. Integrity doesn't matter to people who cheat
@@watsonwrote You don't think Barry Bonds hasn't looked back with SOME regret wondering if it was all worth it?
Amanda Reid is the epitome of Narcissism🤯
lol... lmao and smh on this one. ah... man this made my day!
How can you feel proud of the win, plus stealing the thunder of those who have it hard enough?
The exceptional drive to ascend of these athletes in general, but the special - insane mental fortitude. Embodiment of mind over matter, even with major difficulties of daily life doing basics we all take for granted and they never even get to in many cases, the will to power through it all and prevail, sometimes to performances better than able bodied regular folks within their forte, they're still elite athletes and it's a crazy gap professionally trained to a novice, even with strength/ability differences (depending on the athletes and the ave Joe's) but from all the sails that you had to steal the wind from, wtaf makes you feel like it's worthwhile to cheat but in this context more than ever, how can you feel good about yourself? Maybe they should try the gymnastics team try outs cos fkd if I know how many hoops could help you stick that landing for the win to want to do this kind of BS.
These people who are role models not just to fellow diff abled to dare to dream or drive to do THEIR best, but examples to everyone about the human spirit and having heart- making us all reflect and Revere their sheer determination and discipline and then also having the short straw, and no excuses still, exemplars to us all as humans. They make us ALL impressed with their go, to look at ourselves and do better, so really outstanding examples of humanity to rob this from and in a realm where they have the chance to shine, it's almost impressive the level of letting go they are capable of in their minds, if it wasn't so pathetic.
are you guys thinking what I'm thinking
No.
Lol
Well, I'm gonna get pins and needles in my foot and go try jog near a special athlete's training ground for a career change!
Wow. That really fucking blows I really like this channel because, it shows how many people really want to get over on someone.
Cheating by itself is bad, but this just blew the scale in so many way
It’s a high risk low reward. Let’s say you claim this person doesn’t have this disability but turns out they actually do. The damage has already been done and especially how social media is, they would be guilty until proven innocent. They would be stripped of their gold, silver, or bronze so quick it wouldn’t matter if it was legit or not. It’s not as black and white as doping is
This is truly disgusting. As the father of an autistic daughter that plays basketball it is really disgusting and disappointing.
Cartman episode lmao
Fun fact: Spain was not involved in WW1 or 2 and has loose immigration policies that make it relatively easy to get a long-term visa and a path to citizenship.
Took years of research to learn that Spain is the #1 place to escape to in the case that the world looks like it's headed to WW3. You'll want to apply for citizenship sooner than later though cause otherwise they'll get flooded with applications, as was the case in WW2.
Damn the classification system is just sooooooo hard to do successfully….
Get 5M , have to payback 5k.. !
why is the motive for everything horrendous always money? ruins everything
You’re poor aren’t you
@@fidelio9301. I'm guessing you are too. Nobody rich would waste time on here
@@A-small-amount-of-peas The idea that people don’t watch TH-cam no matter who they are is ridiculous. Not really I’m doing quite well. I watch TH-cam for entertainment, but I don’t moan about money ruining everything do I….
@@fidelio9301 yeah... Sure kid
@@fidelio9301 Two replies. 2 insults and now an actual threat to my life.
Such thin skin
Amanda Fowler got the Medal of the Order of Australia for service to sport as a gold medallist at the Tokyo Paralympic Games 2020 (para-cycling). LOL
honestly the journalist who allowed it to happen instead of blowing the whistle before the competition started just for the scoop is probably the worst out of the bunch.
That's because journalists are just as subhuman as the kinds of people who would fake disabilities to compete in events meant for the disabled.
As soon as I hear anything about the paralympics I switch off.
You know what a huge difference is between actual physically impaired athletes compared to liars? People who actually have disabilities aren't concerned about the prize money, they just want fair representation and to help others in the same situation they are in...if you were to make all winnings and proceeds go to funding people with disabilities then I can assure you the amount of people that will try faking will dwindle to next to zero. The fact they still make this sport self enriching just shows me the people that run it are profiting off the corruption.. until they are removed nothing will change... just like the regular Olympics
The funniest part of this story is that every country was doing the same exact thing, albeit to a lesser extent, but still cheating by being dishonest with player's supposed "disabilities." Kekekek 😂
A new term for Gumping it
Imagine having more of your leg removed than necessary to win a medal. That’s a literally mutilation.
8:53 If this were billiards, we would say they got hustled. But the IPC are definitely not the challenged ones.
The love of money is the root of all evil
I Timothy 6:10
The was the premise a Johnny Knoxville movie
They need to waive their HIPPA rights and show medical/diagnostic records as part of the qualification. Period. The end.
Exactly! How bizarre!
They should have an independent panel of medical practitioners who review the applicants’ medical history in its entirety. The athletes should be required to submit their medical records to this panel. It would be a big task and perhaps there would be a 12 month turnaround on classifications, but at least there would be greater integrity in the process.
I actually know the physiotherapist for the Canadian curling team she used to be my personal physiotherapist
Kinda like what Cartman from South Park did?😂
Wow, I knew about the Spanish basketball team, but this shit is beyond comprehension
What goes through their mind at night when they lay their head down on the pillow?
Money corrupts everyone.
Cost me my spot
So disgusting. They should be locked up
It is so much fun to cheat and lie !! I wonder why more people aren't doing it. Honesty and integrity is for losers and fools. GO the liars !!! GO the CHEATS !!!
You should go into politics @billyshane, U have the perfect ethics and morality for such a field. You would do well.
...... is that tatyana ovechkina? 3:45
Cartman? That you?
His ruse involved such sophisticated subterfuge as beards, hats, and sunglasses, but I guess the organizer hadn't anticipated that this accomplishment could draw media coverage whereby distant viewers might catch on. 😂 Moral of the story: if your cheating strategy is inspired by 1930s cartoons it might bot withstand the rigors of somebody watching on TH-cam.
Yes but one could argue that lacking a moral compass IS a disability huh huh huh?
As always ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I pretty much ignore the Olympics in all forms. Cheating has killed it for me.
Talk about lowering the bar. WTF?
humans be humans when there's incentives
In the end, it’s always about money.
Despicable that anyone would rob genuine impaired/disabled athletes from winning fairly.
So... Irl reverse boosting? 😂
And all this was done just for money 💰 🙄
This need for medals over fairness seems to be a sports wide issue
Where there is money and fame to be made, people will lie and cheat.
Funny how this goes on and mainstream media doesnt bat an eye, but of course trans athletes are "whats wrong" with sports, according to them. 🤣
People suck.
If people can't be honest about their disabilities at that level of competition, they might as well only allow athletes who are missing limbs to compete. Can't fake that.
But really, there will always be an incentive for the athletes to compete at a lower class. There's no easy solution and I suspect that more disabled athletes will always be at a severe disadvantage due to the incentive for dishonesty.
Looks like they cheated at lighting the torch too
I think the "ck" is silent when pronouncing "Sally Cockburn"
Transgender, hold my beer 😅
Why would you even care about winning at a disabled sport? it gets barely any recognition or kudos, people just pity you if anything. Like "awww look he's doing really well for a disabled person" lmao who cares??
Idk how people can keep the disabled persona going all the time without forgetting your normal and acting so? You have to be some kind of low to do that!! This is crazy!
All the basketball players needed to do is drink a bunch of Vagisil and watch some nascar and they could have won for real
I preferred it when this storyline was just a joke in South Park.
The third biggest sporting event in the world? Really?
By viewing numbers, yes.
Wowwwww
the first 100 were all men hahahahaha............. the wnba is just as skilled as the nba damn it! 🤣
🎣
I think it's funny. The original thing is joke in the first place.
