Ryan Lochte got a 1year band or something for getting caught doing more than 1 IV in a week. It’s just vitamins. It wasn’t even performance enhancing substances. It wasn’t even during a competition it was training period.
One of our Sprinters Sha'Carri Richardson. Tested positive for…….wait for it….. marijuana in 2021. Not exactly Performance Enhancing? And was dropped from the Worlds Games that year. So the USA is very strict on what athletes put in their bodies.
@@lisaroberts8556 that’s still a known band substance. Lochte wasn’t even doing a band substance he just didn’t know there was a limit on how often you can do it.
Google WADA's top doping countries country sample tested positive cases % 1. India 4064 127 3.26 2. South Africa 4169 80 2.04 3. Thailand 3402 65 1.93 4. USA 3854 61 1.58
Notice the low number of samples, as well, barely little more than Thailand whose population is a fraction of the States - and number of athletes a smidgen of USA. So, USADA also practices evasion, as well, in not even meeting the bare minimum of testing their own athletes. The US athletes have the comfort of freedom or liberty of lax testing enforcement, while USADA is sleeping on the job. In 2023, US elite swimmers were tested on average of only 5-6 times out of competition (when it's prime time for cheating during training). So, they are tested only every couple of months - if at that!
Pure misinformation! Those 23 Chinese swimmers were cleared by WADA. And to suggest USADA strictly plays by the book is laughable now that we know their cover up scandal. The whining Brit sounds like a cry baby. 😂

As an aside, months after the fact, I saw a video of fellow swimmers at the 2024 Shanghai SCWC stop Pan for selfies. A Brit swimmer walked past and later met up with Pan to chat with him. He tapped Pat as some greeting exchange as some respect. I couldn't read the name on the swimmer's cap.

Can't you see that she is white and western ? (although Australia is geographically south and east) Shame on you for not supporting the western bigotry. Shame. ;-)
It’s not about banned forever it’s that they didn’t hold the swimmers that tested positive accountable and didn’t even say it happened until 3 years later.
What strikes me is Guy saying ‘the doctor checks but I check too’ So many athletes have said ‘oh the doctor said it was fine so I took it.’ No no. You are responsible for yourself. End of.
All being said by many, personally, I think it is a level playing field. The west make a big noise regarding China and Russia but we all know the West are not clean too. Pimples on the back of certain athletes, testicular tumours and previous history involving Nike, Lance Armstrong, Alberto Salazar - most are clear when tested but later were caught when they were exposed by their own 'friends'. I don't deny Russia/ China might be doping their athletes, but so are the West. It's a level playing field.
@sultry "All being said by many, personally, I think it is a level playing field..." Using your points of reference, in the west, athletes who cheat are caught and punished by the appropriate bodies in their own countries. China denies and given the CCP's control over every aspect of chinese life, will not only be aware of but encouraging doping. There's the difference. To say it's OK for China to cheat, on an industrial level, because some athletes in the west cheat is a disgrace. Shame on you.

Would be useful if you actually backed up your claims with evidence. Easy to make a throwaway comment like this. Also the whole point of TUE's is to help athletes who have a medical condition which would otherwise compromise their athletic performance vs other athletes who do not suffer from said medical condition. They are supposed to help level the playing field, not give an athlete an advantage over another. If you are not aware of the process involved to apply for an exemption then i don't think you are qualified to make this sport of opinion.

Ok, so I'm not an expert. I'm confused about the test results. I would think if one did use the banned substance, their tests would consistently show as positive during the competition period, right? They were saying these same swimmers had multiple tests done during Tokyo Olympics, some tests showed positive, other times negative, for same swimmers. Does that mean anything?
Yeah, I mean, the tests done by China and reported by China, those same tests that WADA couldn't perform because they couldn't enter the country. We're supposed to believe those were done 100% on the up and up, ok...
Extremely low concentration. WADA says it was 7,500 times less than the concentration needed to have any performance enhancing impact based on urine samples. So all of these people crying about it is honestly funny when 4 investigations already concluded no doping was involved.
Yeah I started looking into this expecting to be as outraged as all these second hand news sources were, but all I found was a lot of room for plausible doubt and people who pass on outrage without actually having listened to facts?
Admirable, unlike the masses, you're applying critical thinking. To be precise, the event of all this brouhaha wasn't the Tokyo Olympics but a domestic national swim meet (only athletes were the Chinese, as it wasn't an international competition) and it wasn't an Olympics trial either. Yes, over 3 consecutive days, the 23 swimmers with 28 positives (of trace amounts in the picogram level, meaning 1-trillionth of a gram and 50 times less than the minimal doping level, which indicates how sensitive the tests are now) of 60 urine samples were tested multiple times (some within hours). Those tests did vary from negative to low positive or low positive to negative, not consistent with deliberate doping or even micro-dosing. Mind you, WADA consulted with outside doping experts and even the manufacturer of TMZ for extra expertise. So, the conclusion was yes, the positives were not from doping but more likely environmental contamination. After the fact (3 months or so due to China's rigid covid lockdown), tracing the source of the contamination would have been nearly impossible, which is the reason, WADA, World Aquatics and ITA didn't necessarily sign off on the explanation of the source. But none of the three could contest the scientific lab analysis of the urine samples that there was no evidence of doping. Thus, the 23 swimmers were cleared as no fault violations (something NY Times likely downplayed while drumming up disinformation of lack of transparency when athletes are afforded respect of their privacy when they are absolved - same policy that USADA applies to its own athletes of privacy).
I want to highlight a few points here. The timing of this very old incident being resurfaced just before the 2024 Olympics is not a coincidence. Obviously, appreciating the unique timing of the latter you would have a reasonable grasp of the motives behind these reports by western media. Second, there is a big difference between collective doping and food contamination and you can't talk as if they were the same. After investigations, WADA and other sport authorities ruled out doping allegations 4 years ago after investigation while affirming the incident as food contamination. Thirdly and most importantly, there IS NO CORRELATION between athletic performance and drug abuse as far as the affected Chinese athletes are concerned. The stellar performance of Zhang YuFei (gold Medalist in 100m women butterfly), who has not failed any further drug tests since then, is a good example.

If Sun had been smart, he should have applied for TUE (as he was prescribed since 2008 for his heart palpitations, and TMZ had just been changed to banned status from legal in 2014) like the high percentage of Americans receiving TUEs for otherwise doping substances. OR smarter, if he had anything to hide, he should have pretended to not be home when the supposed anti-doping agents (with at least two not even with credentials) show up at his home (take a page from Lance Armstrong's playbook of evasion), which athletes are allowed one or 3 per year. As it was, Sun was tested at least once every two weeks, leading up to that 2014 incident - all clean and clean in tests after the fact.
I am wondering if my subscribing to NBC Peacock to watch the Olympics is worth it? I stopped watching the NFL and NBA because of PEDs. PEDs is like watching Ms Universe or Ms USA and they have fake boobs and other plastic surgery 🤣
what the Chinese are cheating they have never done anything like that before..oh wait...this is like the 6th time they have been caught. Ban them for life, well i guess that isnt fair to the kids coming up.
Firstly, he didn’t play a victim. Secondly the rest of the world are victims to chinas systemic doping of their athletes. Somehow they think that the rest of the world would believe that a heart medicine contaminated a kitchen, we aren’t idiots.
for example, Alexander Popov at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics did not play the victim, he simply became the Best Athlete in Men's Swimming at the home Olympics for US swimmers.

It was He who broke this US backstroke streak that began with the last Millennium.
Most British Olympians are too honest. Only few have ever cheated if you compare their athletes to Chinese , Russian and American. It should be made legal so no excuses can be made

Everyone is a scientist in America, and everyone is a sheep that follow the herd. This is America, land of the free thinkers. LOL. Let's all jump on the bandwagon. The media and people love the hype and drama. Continue to jump on the bandwagon, and let's all tip over with the bandwagon.

Obesity and overweight in America is off the charts…
Hello wumao!
It’s kind of suspicious that sun yang was tested positive for the exact same thing as these people.
If Sun had been smart, he should have applied for TUE (as he was prescribed since 2008 for his heart palpitations, and TMZ had just been changed to banned status from legal in 2014) like the high percentage of Americans receiving TUEs for otherwise doping substances. OR smarter, if he had anything to hide, he should have pretended to not be home when the supposed anti-doping agents (with at least two not even with credentials) show up at his home (take a page from Lance Armstrong's playbook of evasion), which athletes are allowed one or 3 per year. As it was, Sun was tested at least once every two weeks, leading up to that 2014 incident - all clean and clean in tests after the fact.
I noticed a white substance or something attached Coleman’s nose.
if you are not stupid then who is?
I hope they countries are gona be suing
Sun Yang was not banned for doping 😂 stop lying.
I am wondering if my subscribing to NBC Peacock to watch the Olympics is worth it? I stopped watching the NFL and NBA because of PEDs. PEDs is like watching Ms Universe or Ms USA and they have fake boobs and other plastic surgery 🤣
Sir you should stop watching sports if you think any elite athlete is natural in any sport.
Wųmăo everywhere in the comments.
what the Chinese are cheating they have never done anything like that before..oh wait...this is like the 6th time they have been caught. Ban them for life, well i guess that isnt fair to the kids coming up.
Easy, check to see how many swimmers 'suffer from asthma compared. to others' you will get the answer there
Tmzhang Drugfei is being beaten by Torri drugs or not
British, James Guy - "Playing the Victim"
Firstly, he didn’t play a victim. Secondly the rest of the world are victims to chinas systemic doping of their athletes. Somehow they think that the rest of the world would believe that a heart medicine contaminated a kitchen, we aren’t idiots.
Because he and all the other world-class swimmers in the world, apart those from a nameless country, are the victims.
@@BG-id2cv No they are not. The West are doing it better - the clear, Nike project, Lance Armstrong, Alberto Salazar etc.
for example, Alexander Popov at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics did not play the victim, he simply became the Best Athlete in Men's Swimming at the home Olympics for US swimmers.
@@BG-id2cv. although you seem to be British, it will also be useful for you to know that. Starting from the Olympic Games in Atlanta in 1996, and until the Olympic Games in Tokyo 2020 (six Olympic Games in a row) in the Men's Backstroke at distances of 100 and 200 meters, the representatives of the USA won, until He came - Evgeny Rylov. It was He who broke this US backstroke streak that began with the last Millennium.
what the hell is going on with coleman???] James Guy = Salty
"They think we're stupid" --> great conclusion!
Most British Olympians are too honest. Only few have ever cheated if you compare their athletes to Chinese , Russian and American. It should be made legal so no excuses can be made
