I have some credentials as a swimmer. Never made ballistic heights, but I can understand this, well. Lisa Curry-Kenny (an Aussie) also suffered at the hands of an East German (or was that Russian) cheat. I am glad that (a) this cheat is outed, and (b) an Aussie called it. But.....the cheating prick was coached by an Aussie! https://au.yahoo.com/sports/sun-yang-cops-eight-year-doping-ban-will-miss-olympics-092129153.html
Interesting. Has Sun ever actually tested positive for a banned substance or is he just continually refusing compliance testing? If dirty, what has it been? The linked article isn't specific.
Agree... Obviously, destroying your testing samples deserves some major punitive action, but I'm not clear if he's ever been proven to have been doping. 8 years for this action SEEMS a little harsh, since for a competitive swimmer, this is close to a lifetime ban, but I'd need to do a little more legwork to be convinced. From some early rumblings from Japan over COVID-19, the entire Olympics might be at jeopardy (it's only 5 months away), which I would find sad. While I prefer Winter, all Olympics' are awesome at the end of the day.
I miss the bearded East German female Olympians, with muscles on top of muscles. It was a good laugh every four years.
Doesn't matter. I need CNN et al., to put out a story that Sun Yang was a Trump supporter so I can link Trump to Yang's cheating and claim it's Trump's fault. Nothing else will do. I'll stick the story in my back pocket - so I can pull that card after the coronavirus fades away like Trump said it would - because I'll need something else to pin my hopes on. Edit to Add: Anonymous sources welcome.
Give it time and the Progressives will have the US female team looking like that, when the B-list male athletes decide they identify as women instead.
