Kid, you suggested conversation.

I would tell you to look up your own damned answer, but you already knew it before you posted your inane question.

Whether it was the same or it wasn't at the lower level, it is the same at the upper level - and the standards are still the same, regardless of the lower panels' different make-up.

I posted some questions before you posted yours. Why not try responding to them?

This could actually be a good discussion.

Lets see how my confidence plays out.

Could have been, but you chose not to be a part of it.

No surprises.

In the drive to make national pride and prestige the focus, it's easy to forget the Olympics are the Olympic games. 

As for the inequal treatment of doping. It's worth asking in what sport (aside from maybe pie eating contests) could pot be a PED?  Whereas giving a 15  year old heart medication as an endurance booster is pretty clearly a PED violation (and one wonders what the side effects might be??)( several heart meds are dangerous to anyone with normal cardio function)

Rule on pot could be changed - but not in the middle of the event.  They only allow for that in US politics.

I think there are not many that preferred the young Russian be allowed to skate.  And likely we all thought the decision imprroper.  But none of us were in on the conversation.  None of us heard the reasonng before the eventual decision.

Just say NO, Olympic committee

The absurd attempt to make such divisions.

Next you will want women with "too much" testosterone tossed. Oh, wait - we used to do that, didn't we.

One of my favorite stories on the topic was one attacking Lia for her success.... but they used a picture of Ledecky by mistake.

Legitimate, skilled female swimmer.
