Stimulant scandal: Six questions for US after Paris Olympics
The Paris Olympic Games concluded on August 12 (Hong Kong time). CCTV News published a long article asking six US questions in response to the ongoing US stimulant scandal.
The next Olympic Games will be held in Los Angeles, US. In order to restore the world's confidence in American sports, the US must first explain to the world what is going on with the many weird incidents surrounding the Olympics.
Q1: Does the athlete test positive because she lay on a bed "polluted" by eye drops?
US synchronized swimmer Calista Liu was found positive for dorzolamide (a diuretic and masking agent) in a drug test in May this year. Still, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) found her not in violation of the law ''in time'' for the Olympics, on the grounds that the athlete's father used eye drops containing the ingredient and that her skin came into contact with the drops while lying on her father's bed, thus absorbing the banned substance.
So the question is, how many eye drops can one person spill on their bed? How many eye drops can a person who does not live with their parents, who only visit home regularly, and who lies in bed for a while coming into contact with? How much eye drop can pass through the skin into the human body and then flow into the bloodstream? The concentration of drugs in the blood is over the limit. Is the eye drop leaking from the bed sheet enough? Does the US team feel ashamed to win this silver medal?
Q2: Can an official US statement be retracted?
In this Olympics, not only did Calista, a swimmer, but also Erriyon Knighton, a track and field athlete, enjoy this 'service' from the US. They tested positive in May and March, respectively. Still, coincidentally, the US official statement of innocence for both of them was issued just before the Olympics, which was "just in time" to preserve their eligibility to participate in the games. Then, the official USADA website deleted the statement "just in time".
In the statement supporting Erriyon Knighton, the Chairman of the USADA claimed that his acquittal was "a demonstration of justice and transparency of information." If the US statement is so "just" and "open," why did it have to be published at the latest time and deleted as quickly as possible? Can't the US even be responsible for what they said?
Q3: Swimmers are "Thanos" per capita. The US media not only does not explain the issue but also retouches the picture.
In the swimming competition of this year's Olympics, the faces of the US swimmers look like purple potatoes. Why is it that the American athletes are the ones with the purple potatoes on their faces? Why did they look normal before the event?
In the face of such visible trickery, the US responded by lying to themselves. Comparing the photos of the same person at the same moment and from the same angle published by various media, it is easy to see that the US media has deliberately adjusted the colors to whiten the purple faces of the US athletes. The problem is, not everyone in the world only reads the US media, so is it useful to deceive themselves by doing this?
Q4: How many normal people are left on the US team?
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) disclosed a few days ago that they found that the US has protected at least 3 athletes who have violated the rules of drug use for many years. The reason is that they have developed these people into "informants". These "informants" have been competing and winning prizes throughout their careers, and have been "ordered to cheat".
Even more common than "informants" are "patients" who are "licensed to take drugs". A few years ago, Russian hackers broke into the WADA database. According to the information they uncovered, during the 2016 Rio Olympics, more than 70 percent of the members of the US swimming team and more than 74 percent of the members of the track and field team qualified for drug exemptions due to "illness", and star athletes such as Michael Phelps, Simone Arianne Biles, and the Williams sisters were among those exempted.
Q5: Does the US still want to "long-arm jurisdiction" worldwide?
Witold Bańka, the president of the WADA, has repeatedly warned that "90 percent of American athletes do not comply with international anti-doping regulations". The US is the best at "doping", and the US is the best at targeting other countries.
It is ironic that the US anti-doping laws claim to have jurisdiction over the world's drug problems and international competitions but have no control over domestic leagues such as the NBA and the NFL (National Football League). What is the purpose of this "double standard"?
Q6: 2028 Los Angeles Olympics: Who will be arrested by the US if they don't do what they're told?
For the sake of a few gold medals, the US has not only been making all sorts of little tricks in the sports world but has also tried to suppress its rivals in the political and media circles. The International Testing Agency (ITA) has admitted that the smearing and speculation by the US media led to the Chinese swimming team being subjected to additional testing.
The next Olympic Games will be held in the US. Still, the perverse behavior of the US has made athletes from various countries and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) not too bold to participate. Someone asks, "Will the US government arrest them at any time?" USOC President Gene Sykes replied, "Don't worry, but if the US police come looking for you, there's nothing I can do about it."
