The suppression of positive samples has been a talking point in track and field for decades. After Carl Lewis was shown to have failed three tests during trials for the 1988 Olympics, America’s ‘greatest’ athlete protested: “There were hundreds of people getting off. Everyone was treated the same.”

Who the fuck cares, does anyone really expect people not to cheat in sports that require no skills at all and where the difference maker is the athlete's level of fitness?
Sports like athletics or swimming or cyclism are pretty much designed to get cheaters on top and at those levels odds are that everyone takes substances in a way or another, it's just that some are better at getting away with it.

Carl Lewis was proven clean. The levels of the substance he had in his system (from a cold medicine) that triggered a positive result would be considered illegal today.
>The highest level of the stimulants Lewis recorded was 6 ppm, which was regarded as a positive test in 1988 but is now regarded as negative test. The acceptable level has been raised to ten parts per million for ephedrine and twenty-five parts per million for other substances.[81][85] According to the IOC rules at the time, positive tests with levels lower than 10 ppm were cause of further investigation but not immediate ban.

>>63473131

Probably because it was their Olympics. It's really just them, too. We don't really care, most of us just assume that the Russians are always cheating.

Underage.
From a "pure" athletic standpoint, Carl Lewis is probably the greatest athlete the US has ever produced. He was undefeated in the long jump for 10 straight years and was also the world's best 100m and 200m sprinter during that time.

>UK newspapers
>>63473412
>>63473487
>Really why are steroids illegal again?
Because competition would devolve into an arms race of who creates the better PEDs rather than who trains harder, smarter, and who is more talented.
I'm not against PEDs, especially ones that help with recovery time (which reduce injury risk), and I think they should be allowed in that regard. Problem is, there will always be someone who pushes the envelope, and the next guy, not wanting to lose his edge, does it, and then the next guy does it, and so on.
Hopefully one day testing gets so good, they could just literally scan the bodies of the competitors before an event.

You will never come close to eclipsing the U S A in total medals or gold medals
Never, ever

>hello guys I'm fifteen and full of edge. Watch as I inadvertently reveal my youthful ignorance.
Olympics are irrelevant anyway, it's jsut something nice to follow every 4 years. 90% of the ''sports'' are laughable, and doping is rampant. It's not really the best either considering most countries don't really fund the events, only USA, China and Russia do + maybe the country that is hosting it.

The Spain one in 2000 seems worse:
The 2000 Summer Paralympics in Sydney, which had already seen controversy with numerous positive drug tests, would be the venue for one of the most scandalous events in the sport's history. Spain was stripped of their intellectual disability basketball gold medals shortly after the Games closed[5] after Carlos Ribagorda, a member of the victorious team and an undercover journalist, revealed to the Spanish business magazine Capital that most of his colleagues had not undergone medical tests to ensure that they had a disability. The IPC investigated the claims and found that the required mental tests, which should show that the competitors have an IQ of no more than 70,[6] were not conducted by the Spanish Paralympic Committee (CPE). Ribagorda alleged that some Spanish participants in the table tennis, track and field, and swimming events were also not disabled, meaning that five medals had been won fraudulently.[6][7]
He went on to say that the Spanish Federation of Sportspeople with the Intellectually Disabilities (FEDDI) deliberately chose to sign up athletes who were not intellectually disabled to "win medals and gain more sponsorship".[8] Fernando Martin Vicente, president of the FEDDI and vice-president of CPE, initially denied the allegations.[8] After it was confirmed that 10 of the 12 competitors in the winning team were not disabled,[5] Martin Vicente publicly apologised for the error and accepted total responsibility, resigning just before the findings were officially released.[7]
Two weeks later the team was officially disqualified and was ordered to return the gold medals.[5] The controversy has been cited as one of the "most outrageous sporting moments" in history.[9]
