Let me guess, Watchmojo, is Tonya Harding on this video (How can she not?)?
Johan Mühlegg
Top ten Batman beyond villans
What about Carl Lewis. The proof is in the documentary Bigger Stronger Faster. The proof is in the pudding.
Lance Armstrong? That was a pretty big story, even if it was only one Olympic medal.
"Trying to break someone's knee? No one can cheat worse than that!"
Spain: "So. Hear me out!"
Nero: "I am the Olympics!"
Seems unfair to lose a medal over cold medicine or to be suspended for what your teammates did and you had no idea.
Kind of how Russia got their medal stripped couple days ago for woman’s figure skating because of heart medication ….
It has to be done that way, otherwise it leaves too many loopholes available for cheating.
That was what they*said*, but with everything that's happened since at least the 70's, ya gotta wonder what they *DID*
@@dayne6597 Technically they haven't been stripped yet. They are under investigation so they had no medal ceremony which is very unfair to the American and Japanese skaters that won silver and bronze, respectively.
They even let the girl that dopped (though she is only 15 so her coaches, known for their abusive methods, probably forced her to) compete in her next event which was a huge slap in the face to the clean athletes.
Yes but you are given a list what you can and can’t take. There are a lot of cold Medicines. The Doctor should of know about the medicines but, rules state you are responsible.
My mom knew Tonya Harding when she was 8-10 years old. They attended the same rink as kids, although a slight age difference meant that they were never in the same class. Apparently even back then, Tonya’s horrific home life was obvious to everybody, but no one did anything about it, and the cracks in her psyche were already starting to show. It makes me wonder what Tonya could have achieved had she had people who loved and cared for her. So sad.
Shane Standt lived 2 blocks away from me in Coeur d'Alene idaho.
How Tonya Harding can be on the TruTV cable show "World's Dumbest" completely baffles me, as she makes comments about people hurting others.
I think it's becoming more evident that her environment failed her in every interview and podcast.
Her husband was worse for her than her parents were
🧢 🧢🧢🧢
honestly the entire 1904 marathon in st. louis was batshit crazy. the guy who did end up winning, tom hicks, was given strychnine by his coaches in an attempt to dope him and WON THE FUCKING GOLD WHILE LITERALLY HALLUCINATING. also a cuban mailman who never competed before won 4th despite eating bad apples and fainting DURING THE RACE and a south african competitor was chased a mile off course by some dogs and CAME IN 9TH PLACE. this should be a movie
Woah
My kind of race
Oh yeah I think I've heard stories about that one. One guy was supposedly given alcohol instead of water the whole race. Many people went off track, some got lost and some straight cheated by catching a ride almost to the finish line. You are right this would be a great movie if written and directed well. I wouldn't even want to see big stars in the movie as the real people were random folks, not famous and just basically unknown to most. So it would be better to have actors most don't know to make the characters more believable. Someone should write a script and just friggin send it bud. Im sure there is a simple cheap way to prove the material to be yours before showing it to anyone. People be slimy it's sad first thing I think about another human doing is something bad. And its not because it's rare it's because it happens so often lol we suck no aliens should visit us or help us.
They should absolutely make a movie about that race!
@@bentboybbz None of the athletes were given water that year
The Ben Johnson race was the dirtiest in Olympic history. Everyone cheated including Carl Lewis.
Right Carl Lewis pissed me off lol acting like he wasn’t.
nope, Calvin Smith and Robson da Silva have never even come close to failing a test and both have prided themselves with winning with integrity. Calvin Smith, the Bronze medalist actually wrote a book on why he should have been the Gold winner
10:35 - “everyone cheats. you cheat on your taxes.”. Yeah well u cheated on ur taxes AND the Olympics homeboy
The so called Spanish Paralympic team is a disgrace, I'm so thankful they were caught!
The journalist should have blown the whistle before going to the Olympics but I guess he wanted a juicier story.
@@stingstungmemae1297 I agree
I do not know the veracity of that story regards the imbedded journo but know that the Spanish team were already under investigation before they were stripped of their gold some time after Sydney 2000 ended.
I worked as an assistant to the Technical Director for the sport and saw most teams every day prior to and during competition began. Took me a while but I commented to the Director that for athletes with severe memory issues the Spanish team to a man always remembered my name and greeted me each day by name. At the time the Director said that should be impossible if they were correctly classified and he would launch an investigation into their classification. He stated some coaches of opponents had commented something was not right with the Spanish team but he took it as sour grapes at losing to them as none would officially lodge a complaint requiring investigation when he offered them the opportunity to do so.
For the investigation to be completed they needed to personally interview every doctor the team used to classify their athletes so could not be completed before medals etc were awarded.
You missed one of the most heart breaking unintentional "cheating" scandals in America. Jim Thorpe, a Native American, lost his medals in 1913 because he had once been paid a very paltry sum to play baseball between 1909 and 1910. He was only paid a few dollars, but that was enough for him to loose his metals. To further make the situation disgusting, it was his own American team (all white) who pushed for him to loose the metals. The "claimed" it was because you had to be able to prove you were absolutely an amateur. For goodness sake, the man took the money to keep from starving, the story goes.
Well that's fucked up, I hadn't heard of that. Gonna look the incident up for sure, because that is SO screwed x,x
Jim Thorpe's family received his gold medals back in 1982, albeit replicas because the originals had been stolen, but he was deemed the co-champion with the original silver medalists. There have been efforts since then to have him restored as the sole champion, with 1964 Olympic gold medalist and Oglala Lakota Billy Mills helping to lead the effort. It's more of a tragedy than cheating.
Earlier this year he has been reeinstalled as the true winner of the gold medal. The cowinners families stated that they always reconised him as the true winner and was glad he got the honor he deserved.
I remember my dad told me this when I was a child. So sad
Medals* (metal) is a hard material like steel
What they neglected to mention is that Rdukan was stripped of her gold for a substance that was later taken OFF of the banned substance list, but she still wasn’t reinstated her medal.
Why would she have it re-instated? She broke the rules as they were at that time.
So everyone in California, now doing time in prison for marijuana related crimes committed before it was legalized should be released and their sentences overturned ? That's the kind of logic you're implying here.
Curious no one mentioned Lance Armstrong. He only had one Olympic medal stripped, but it was a *huge* scandal.
You probably know how it works. Fabricated scandal against the entire country with collective ban for ongoing 10+ years including fans, Paralympic teams, clean athletes, flag and anthem, stadiums and employees - here you go on the second place. Actual cheaters? Nah. Same thing they did in previous video about Olympics without mention of Vancouver Olympics tragedy.
Which was so funny. As if anyone hadn't been doping in cycling.
I didn't know he had an Olympic medal. I knew he had a ton of Tour De France wins.
Cause this is Merican Bias . They feature Cameron the South African swimmer cause he beat the Mericans . Calling him a cheat 🤣🤣🤣wait Phelps cheating is going to come out one day just like Lance Armstrong.
Bruh, Lance Armstrong's performance should only be praised more after they discovered he did drugs. Dude won a whole bunch of cycling races under the influence of drugs, when I do drugs I can't even find my bicycle to begin with.
Lol that journalist only blew the whistle on his teammates after they won gold and celebrated. 🤣😂🤣
The same thing I was thinking 😂
@@lilroehler thank you. Thumbs up don’t matter as much as smarts
With #4 the fact that teammates that were not part of or knowing of the switch got punished is just plain stupid. It encourages people to hide and cover up cheating so they don't get punished too. The coach doing the right thing and calling attention to the cheating should not punish athletes that weren't involved. Honesty should be rewarded. But the olympics are so corrupt anyways.
If one person has an enhanced performance then overall the team has an enhanced performance and that should disqualify the team as a whole. What is a medal really worth, in most people's perspective on hopes, when cheating took place.
@@bethcooper4200 Did you watch the video? The teammates got a suspension not a medal revocation. Why should innocent people get suspended? They didn't cheat and shouldn't have been treated like they did.
I think they knew about it and didnt speak up, thats why they were part of the act too
Homeboy pulled a cartman🤣
Lol
First thing i thought when i saw the thumb lol
Same
We all thought the same as soon as the thumbnail hit
Johnny Knoxville made a movie about it lol
I remember first learning about the Tonya Harding scandal retrospective because I watched the Cow & Chicken episode A Couple of Skating Fools which parodied the scandal.
i heard that episode before...
The 1972 Russian gold medal game over the US in basketball is a case where the cheaters were the referees, not the Olympians.
Russian do that as well. If you remember the judges of the Ice ballet got cold feet and came out, snitching the Russian who bribed them 🤣
The USSR basketball game against the US where the refs kept restarting the game until they won should probably be on here.
One of the problems also was Coach Iba played the Russian game until it became necessary for the USA to step up the pace. USA was not the best team we have put on the floor but they had the ability to run the Russians off the court.
No Ben Johnson...everybody does NOT 'cheat in life'...not even with their taxes.
That's the difference between a person with integrity, and one without.
Well I’m sure everyone has cheated in their life but there is a difference between cheating a school exam or cheating in front of millions of people and making a ton of money with it..
Carl Lewis, the Olympic 100 metre winner in the 1988 Seoul Olympics who was awarded the Olympic Gold Medal after Ben Johnson's disgrace, admitted that he too had taken performance enhancing drugs to improve his performance during the 1988 Olympics. He stated in an interview in 2003 that "hundreds" of US Olympic athletes who failed drug tests were still allowed to compete between 1988 and 2000.
The American Olympic Committee was severely criticized by the International Olympic Committee, and the Olympic Committees of several foreign nations for allowing US Olympic Athletes to compete in Olympic events in spite of testing positive for anabolic steroids. There is overwhelming evidence that has emerged from 1987 to the present time that Florence Griffith Joyner, who set the world records in the 100 metre and 200 metre dashes also took banned Olympic substances to improve her athletic performances. The Olympic Gold Medals and world records of Carl Lewis and Florence Griffith Joyner should definitely be removed, deleted, and erased from IOC world records and world records times!!!
Gotta admit the coach that ratted out his own trainees is amazing
Its just a shame to see Athletes to go to this extreme to win, trust your skillz and most important put in the work.
We need to have an Olympics where people can take as many drugs as they can handle and let’s see what the human body can really do
@@brycematthews2784 😂👍🏽
As that one guy said, when you feel everyone else is cheating, you think you have to. It's such a shame. I wonder how many people got cheated out of medals for playing fair. It is only cheating if you get caught.
Jaysus, pretending to be disabled to win a paralympic medal is diabolical. I cant believe I've never heard that story before.
why do people demand an apology from someone who isn’t sorry
They are not apologising to you, they are apologising to themselves. Because that the only person they feel sorry for.
They are sorry for getting caught.
If you have to cheat to win, you're not good enough to compete without cheating.
I stopped playing online games because they're all full of cheaters not fun
@@JBoo that's one aspect of gaming I never started. The mere thought of what/how that would eventually end up was enough to put me off it.
This assertion is simply false and has no bearing in reality. The two are not mutually exclusive by any means. You can in fact be great with and without the use ped's. Remember when Armstrong won tour de frances..... and it turns out the top 20 of 21 were on ped's lol. They are all still talented phenomenal cyclists that would dust 99.9% of the population on this earth. Ped's can only make you better at what you're good at physically (Strength and Endurance), there is no steroid which will give you talent or sport iq.
Exactly jail time is better
15:07 Good on that coach for doing the right thing. But why were her teammates punished?
Totally amazing video of cheaters in the Olympic Games through different years and era too. Fantastic job watch mojo, I guess there that saying cheaters never win by cheating they always lose in a big way too.
I heard a race car drive say in a interview “if your not cheating, your not trying “. I think a lot of athletes in sports that come around once every 4yrs are desperate enough justify their efforts by cheating…not saying it’s right but can understand the sentiment!
One of the many mantras iff Eddie Guerrero. RIP
That's sadly true. For sports like these, time is of the essence. You can only put your body through so much stress before you'll have to retire. If I can't make the most of every opportunity to win Gold, I'm a NATIONAL failure.
Exactly. You have to understand that athletes from poorer countries become national heroes for life if they get any medal let alone gold at an Olympics. And in blue ribbon events like 100m sprint a gold medal is instant multi-millionaire status in USA etc due to endorsements and the like. Unfortunately, that encourages cheating especially if it is state sponsored etc. As they say Ben Johnsons crime was he did not stop using the roids when the team doctor told him to(meaning the medical staff knew and possibly were supplying). Had he stopped when told he would have returned a clean sample and won gold.
That was the difference between being a National hero or a National disgrace. One or two days too long using the roids.
The #1 spot is definitely deserving of the spot but the #2 is pretty much despicable. Ironic im watching this after news of one of the Russian figure ice skaters tested positive for doping and now investigation into whether the team is to be stripped of the medal or not...
My man Simon made it!
Your God King Whistler 😇
That thumbnail strongly reminded me of both "Cripple Fight" and the "Special Olympics" episodes of South Park 😂
My mom always said "I don't know why Tonya Harding even did that to Nancy, since Tonya was just a naturally better skater. She just screwed herself pulling that stunt cuz she would of most likely won fair and square!" Whether that is true, I don't know. I just remember hearing about it as a kid.
Trust me, Tonya never stood a chance, and it was ridiculous of her (& her cohorts) to think that with Nancy out of the way she would have won gold! Yes, she was a superior athlete, but lacked artistry, musicality, and line. She only won a world championship (once) because she had the performances of her life, landed her triple axel, and others made mistakes.
I thought it was just some people within Tonya’s social circle who attacked Nancy and she didn’t know about the incident until afterwards.
Simon Whistler making a cameo on Watchmojo? That was a surprise
Simon: Why the fuck would they show me, i barely remember half the infomation in the videos and podcasts i make in a month. but buy my merch and my "rotten turtle" colon
*edited so i don't go to the basement with danny*
Absolutely brilliant. Just got up bored looking for something to watch while I get dressed. Glance at my phone Nah must be that other guy everyone compares him too than we hear him omg it's Simon! Has someone tweeted him already?
@@that1nerdyblackgirl736 I don't say please.
Not the first time, love it every time
@@katelengl damn I don't watch that many watchmojo I don't leave the whistlerverse that much. I missed that it happened before
The beer one is ludicrous. If I had two beers I’d be seeing double. Am I the only one who highly doubts it would enhance any athletes performance?
Well you got a remember everybody’s body is different because I’ve known some people that could drink two beers and be perfectly fine like they always are so don’t compare you to somebody else because your body is different than somebody else’s so I don’t know if that ever answers in any athletes performance I’ve never heard of that before that doesn’t mean I’m going to Searcy doubles just cause I drink two beers
@@tammiepage6489 as I asked am I the only who doubts beer ( alcohol) would enhance any athletes performance I did not in any way say two beers would effect someone the same way. I’m thinking since alcohol is a sedative a depressant that wouldn’t enhance an athletic performance it would interfere with it since it relaxes the muscles instead of making them ready to perform.
@@Hermioneswish It was a pistol shooting contest.
@@patsimpson7834 so even worse since you really have to concentrate and focus on hitting the targets.
@@Hermioneswish Not necessarily. If you are experiencing nerves and your hand is shaking, beer can soothe your nerves and make your hand steadier than normally. When competing at the Olympics, it's a given that you are gonna feel anxious; by calming your nerves with a sedative agent (even if that's beer), you're getting an advantage over the rest of the athletes.
And to answer your initial question, two beers don't make me see double; they only make me relax. I'm actually more chilled and self-controlled, as I'm normally an anxious person. I would have to drink at least 3 to feel tipsy.
I was 17 during Sydney games. There were so many incidents with cheating and unfair judges. It was terrible.
I was watching to see if they mentioned sprinter Crystal Cox, as that one personally broke my heart. I went to school with and was casual friends with her, and I can't overstate how incredible she was. She even competed in the Junior Olympics at that time. I moved away, and we lost touch, but I remember seeing pictures of her online, and my heart sank when I saw how drastically her physique changed. She was always incredibly fit, but she looked unnatural by then. Turns out I was on to something; she was found to have been doping for a while, and had to return her 2004 medals. She was a contestant with Survivor later, and went pretty far.
Some fun facts about Crystal and Survivor:
The season she appeared in, her team was THE worst team in the history of Survivor, a large part of it has to do with the fact they did not win a SINGLE elimination challenge
Worst than that, in many situations where the team could be seen running or doing physical activities, she was by far the SLOWEST of the crew. The main reason why she wasn't down and out so quickly was because the entire team was constantly infighting and all the drama made some quite idiotic decisions when it came to elimination
But even then you would think that Crystal, being an Olympic medalist, would have been at the very least ONE OF the most athletic person in the season... Not even close. She would often get eliminated from physical challenges quickly and couldn't keep up with the rest of her team, let alone the opponent. With hindsight it makes a lot of sense but considering the episode was shot and aired before it was revealed she cheated, this was a shock to many. You would reasonably think the Olympic medalist would have been KILLER in physical situations and, normally, that would be the case.
It really speaks to how deep the effects of performance enhancing drugs had on her that she was basically the weakest link without them
So basically the only thing you can't cheat on is esports fighting games.
There has got to be a mod for that somewhere. 😂
There's actually been a few times ESports players have been kicked out of tournament/teams for cheating. Wether it's through modding, performance enhancing drugs or sabotaging opponents
@@kaydenallsebrook9351 The only time this happened in eSports fighting was a guy who used a hacked memory card to boost an attack for Pichu, since then they haven't allowed people to bring their own memory cards and consoles. So yes, definitely you can't cheat anymore in eSports fighting.
I don't have the link on hand, but there's a story somewhere of someone who brought a modded version of Smash Bros Melee where the only change was that Pichu, and only when selected from a certain controller port, had enhanced range and knockback on attacks. Someone eventually found out, of course.
So aderal isn't cheating? You can cheat everything kiddo
The badminton one, that reminds me of that South Park episode when the kids are playing little league and they're trying to suck worse than the other.
I am surprised no one was in the crowds trying to start fights and get arrested.
@@GreatMewtwo Randy sit down! 😆
Classic episode
I hate when Tonya is included in lists like this. Everyone is quick to say oh it was her husband but USFA was quick to forget about her husband's abuse & that Tonya had tried to leave/divorce him but that they told her that if she did then she wouldn't go to the Olympics as a divorced person didn't fit their idea of the perfect skater! She didn't cheat. Her lying abusing ex husband did!
Yep. She was an abuse victim of both her mother AND her husband, but apparently that doesn't matter. It has never been 100% proven that she knew about the attack beforehand. I didn't find out until very recently that Tonya had tried to leave her husband, but was told it would make her and US look bad. They never talk about that in the stories, only poor little Nancy.
Faked having disabilities? So I guess that’s where Eric Cartman got the idea from.
Russia: gets banned in Olimpic games
also Russia: imma do a pro gamer move and let our comrades participate in the Olimpics via the non-nation team :P
I know right they shouldn’t be allowed to compete
Definitely Russia shouldn't have beem allowed to compete
Then in the very next Olympics Russia did it again !!!
Fact boy (Simon whistler) made it onto watchmojo 😂😂
Legends are everywhere 😇
I remember the 1976 Olympics-everyone was convinced the women’s swimming team was doping-they were predicted to compete for, at most, a bronze medal. Team USA were the favorites. I have heard that those East German women have paid a dear price for this-many of them later had cancer or lost their ability to have children.
I'm being absolutely serious here; I saw a documentary on this and many East German women basically became male because the testosterone in their bodies was so incredibly high that they literally made this happen with several athletes. That's not even a consideration, even for a few gold medals. I'd rather stay a female thank you! 😳
i jus love how your pronunciation of foreign words is spot on! Bravo Rebecca!
But cannot pronounce pseudo-EFF-a-dreen
Pretending to be disabled is wrong so wrong!
I gotta hand it to the lady who pulled the "parent trap" scheme. That was actually kinda brilliant.
I've seen the twin swap pulled off a few times in different competitions and contests, and each time it happens, someone finds out about it eventually. The reasons for it vary under different circumstances, but this is still on the parents if the twins are minors.
What do you think these athletes would be like if they never cheated?
They would would carve a bigger legacies.
Losers
Important
Reminds me of that episode of Futurama where Bender had himself changed into a Fembot so he could compete in the games and won a ridiculous number of gold medals. 😁
I see them all, but the Spanish cheating against disabled people is one sick act of desperation….what; cheating against people with genuine disabilities???????
Not everyone is a cheater. BUT, There are several more cases where in Paralympics, and Special Olympics, where players were caught cheating or claiming a disability, but were caught by their spouses. I knew 3 of those people in my short stint at that level.
Eric Cartman cheated in the Special Olympics and still got his butt kicked.
Love your videos
Still miss Marion Jones. She was so beautiful and had great interviews and married another Olympian who also was stripped of his gold medals. Such a shame
I agree. but 6 months in prison for cheating at a stupid sports competition? strip em, ban em, fine em. but prison should be for unrecalcitrant thieves and violent offenders. corrupt money-oriented system
She think she was sent to prison for contempt of law,,not only for cheating.@@jacobpeters5458
It's Andreea Răducanu. Not Rducan. Also, behind the whole scandal stood the medic of the team, who was sacked then reinstated before the Athens 2004 Olympics
What happened to the Romanian Gimnastic team? You used to be the best in the world.
@@91137732 simple, lack of investment and disregard for the field of sports led to a rapid decay of our Olympic teams on all fronts, not just gymnastics. They want the medals but the powers that be don't want to invest in the money and infrastructure necessary to aid us with it. Instead of sports bases we get malls with gyms
This reminds me of the movie Stick It. Ive always loved what the ladies did in that movie at Worlds.
I didn't know I needed this video 🤗
I had such a crush on Marion Jones
Was raging when she got caught cheating and stripped of her medals
The fact boy made an appearance
" everybody cheats " no ur wrong buddy not everyone cheats 😱
Hey you included Simon Whistler from top tenz and all of his other channels. I like him.
Each medal winner in the 2012 100 Breaststroke did more than one dolphin kick on the start, so Van Der Burgh had a point. A lot of international breaststrokers get away with it on the start because the splash and bubbles distorts the officials view. I’m not saying that is right by any means, because FINA has those rules for a reason.
1:43 holy shit simon whistler
I like the Simon Whistler cameo. 👍👍👍
Marion Jones' husband (at the time) was CJ Hunter and he failed a doping test during the Olympics. It's easy to see that the family shared the steroids equally.
I wish Rebecca would be the voice for every language translation software on the market!!
number 2 Sochi should also include Buenos Aires and everything up until Tokyo.
15:36 That's Paavo Nurmi, who most definitely was not a cheater
I'm imagining LeBron dunking over Timmy from south park
Realizing the Olympics is nothing but a grift is the first step to not having to hearing about them ever again..
Wasnt number 1 the plot of some johnny Knoxville movie? 😂😂
12:49 Here's the thing about those formats. If you want the "easiest path" through knock outs, get first in your group. Simple as that. Anything else isn't the easiest path.
badminton was weird in its knock out matchups.
Badminton uses a swiss system in its earlier rounds.
But the first knock out round was also drawn using that swiss system.
Wich means that generally the top 4 off the first round phased off against each other in the first knock out phase.
And that was what created that situation.
They changed it since then tho.
@@jeltevl8868 Oh, well that explains that then. Thank you.😀
Was not expecting to see FactBoi himself Simon Whistler at 1:40! But I'm glad I did, all hail glorious FactBoi!
Was not expecting a Roman Emperor to appear on this list lol
He was the Putin of his era.
Nice to see fact boi on the list. 🤣
Go for gold!!!
"The Ringer" can claim it was based on a true story lol
Yall are about to put an entire nation on this list.
And of course China in the winter 2022 speed skating competition, including the referees. What a disgrace.
Wow.. Back when people gave REAL apologies! :O Accountability, awesome.. I miss it, and I miss those that can take it. Yeah, they cheated and that's incredibly sucky... but those they've shown so far apologizing ACTUALLY apologized instead of blaming someone else, or some other gender, or whatever the hell else like most do now.
And.. WOW, just listened to Jim Thorpe's story, and that is SO screwed up! The fact that he wore mismatch sized shoes he found in the dumpster because someone stole his good and STILL won.. That's amazing! His teammates, however, deserve a collective punch in the nose at the very least.
Who would have thought those naughty Scandinavians were so dishonest ?
I don't need to finish the video to know number 1 is the fake being disable. That was really messed up
Simon.
I’m surprised Lance Armstrong didn’t make the list.
@Steven Leitner “Lance Armstrong celebrates on the podium after winning the bronze medal in the men's individual time trial of the 2000 Summer Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia, on Sept. 30, 2000. On Wednesday, Armstrong returned the medal because of his use of performance enhancing drugs”
Do you think just drug testing every athlete instead of picking or choosing will prove just how bad it really is?
Im surprised that Ben Johnson didnt get #1... or that Carl Lewis wasnt mentioned since he also was doping.
Any cheater needs to receive a lifetime ban and have all their medals stripped as long as their teams if it is a team competition and other athletes all move up in ranking accordingly
Thank you for pronouncing "dressage " correctly! 💗
Sydney 2000, women's 'power-walking' finals. A referee unjustly disqualified all participants ahead of a fellow countrymen.
All those who were disqualified were found to have competed fairly and to the rules, the gold medal winner was disqualified but allowed to keep the medal.
The referee was almost sanctioned by the committee.
Why are proven depressants considered "performance enhancing" and why aren't the athletes tested right before the competitions begin to avoid the need to back-pedal later?
Excellent point!!
5:40 acting so irresponsibly so as to jeopardize the athletic carreer of a horse 😂😂
I just don’t understand how someone thinks cheating to win is winning. It’s not. Wouldn’t you want to win honestly and know you are the best? Some people have no scruples.
wow going to ancient history nice touch
That last video was Eric Cartman coaching the team 😂
Omg watch Mojo shows a Today I found out Clip. Simon has officially taking over TH-cam
I have always thought horses were capable of injecting themselves with illegal drugs. Shame on that horse.
Now I know where the ringer movie got the Idea lol
I didn't know the Spain incident happened so long ago. I honestly thought it was more recently, after the Ringer came out, before Spain did their dirty work.
I hope every grown man that wins anything in women sports is at the top of this list
Did not expect to see Simon Whistler on this channel
Imagine training most of your life for the olympics and then the whole team your on be disqualified because of one person cheating - that’s tragic the poor people who did nothing wrong
But capsaicin is in peppers...if your horse eats peppers, you can't have it participate in the games?
As a Swede, never heard of the beer guy Im pretty sure his name is Hans GunnAr
Lol. Jeffy Dommer!! 😂😂😂
Guy in the doumbnail I thought was Anthony jeselnik lol
