i take it back its not scipted i was kidding π
This is a perfect example of cherry picking..
"caught doping" - no conclusion was made my guy, WADA never disproved that contamination was the source of TMZ
Olivier Rabin, Wada's senior director of science and medicine, added: "The contamination scenario was further supported by the combination of the consistently low concentrations of TMZ as well as no doping pattern with several athletes presenting multiple samples collected over the course of several days which fluctuated between negative and positive [and vice versa]."
This is just part of the data that showed it was unlikely to have been doping. But sure, let's assume that it was handled badly and actually was doping - this year, 11 of the swimmers from tokyo were selected again, so tell me why all other 20 swimmers (clean record) were also under the same treatment. Your "once a cheater, always a cheater" doesn't really make sense here does it, especially since even athletes in other sports are being questioned. On average, each swimmer was tested 21 times a day compared to 6 for the US - is that not insane? This includes experiences of them being disrupted - woken up at 5-6am for tests.
Also, it's funny that in 2022 for the US, out of 6782 cases 1.2% commited doping violations - while for China out of 19228 (almost triple), only 0.2% - the same as Japan.

The US is literally 6x more likely to commit doping, yet everyone's more suspicious of China. Right, makes sense.
