Wasn't freedom of communication one of the conditions for them getting the olympics in the first place? Could the IOC be corrupt?
Duh,...If there's a buck to me made!

I want to know what kind of deal the ChiComs have with the CBC.

which, all the ones getting caught for doping offenses,
or the ones working even harder to beat them ??

lol, they should give the medals on an 'unofficial' basis,
conditional based on drug tests for the next 6 months.

it's become a joke

Become? Even before Ben Johnson got caught in the '80s it was already a problem... albeit a hidden ignored problem.

It was a joke that they handed his gold medal to Carl Lewis, who was on the juice just as much as Jonhson. Lewis, however had better people covering his steroid abuse than Johnson.
