2024 Paris Summer Olympics

Ah here is the Olympics thread. Seems wherever I go a TV has it on in the background. But yes it seems to have taken off. I find myself getting absorbed.

I admit I don't know the behind the scenes bad stuff, I almost don't want to know. Had to shut that article. ;) That is what ruined it some years back for me, behind the scenes nonsense.

It has been going on since before I was born. There is too much money involved, like all domestically consumed sports, for there to not be corruption. It's just how it is.

Steroid use has become so ubiquitous in sports generally that the average person can't tell fiction from reality when it comes to natural limits, and also to confront that truth is shattering for a lot of people because it implies that they are nothing more than a cash cow (the money involved, and subsequent corruption, is a direct consequence of the millions who choose to consume the lies).

Yeah maybe like 30 years ago. These days, every major sporting association, including professional wrestling, basically tests for and no longer condones the use of many forms of hgh and anabolic steroids.

Dude you can't be serious :ROFLMAO:

Listen, if Mo Farah can get away with 'not hearing the doorbell' when testers turn up or Serena William's hiding out in her panic room, then it's blatantly obvious that the testing process is just a thinly veiled dance to give the plebs some assurance that the whole thing isn't just a complete pantomime that is profiting off their ignorance.

They are all at it. There is just too much money involved. This is like football supporters, particularly of the Premier League, who believe match fixing and corruption isn't a common thing. It's no different to those who work in banking or politics and doing insider trading, there is just too much incentive not to do it.

Look at any Rugby or American football team and honestly tell me you think they are all clean. So many of them are insanely bulky yet cut. All the training, diets, 'good genetics', can't beat natural limits. Don't fool yourself.

Even the lanky ones like Farah or Lance Armstrong. They are all at it.

Sure there's corruption and BS. But people get suspended for PEDs regularly, at least in American sports. Not saying it's perfect or that different associations don't have different standards, but it's clearly less of an issue than it was in the past. Just look at the athletes themselves. Steroids aren't ubiquitous. Words have meaning.

So far China is been dominating weightlifting with two golds in the lightest weight classes

Men's 61kg:
Gold. China
Silver: Thailand
Bronze: USA

Gold: China
Silver: Romania
Bronze: Thailand
 
China still taking names this morning

Women's 59kg:
Gold: China

Bronze: Chinese Taipei

Luo from China sets the Olympic records for snatch at 107kg clean and jerk at 134 and total of 241

That's crazy
 
I cheer for good lifters. Thailand has some good ones this year

Also iirc China didn't even place in 73kg men's today, I think they missed all the CJs

New junior world record was set by thailand

Female boxer just had to fight a dude ffs
A young woman has been gym x amount of times a week for years on end to be put in the ring with a man

If you're talking about Imane Khelif, get it through your head that some women look mannish, and that doesn't automatically make them MEN. Ffs just consider the damn COUNTRY she's from. You're persecuted (in the literal physical sense) for being gay there, never mind transsexual. She was born and raised a girl. As a matter of fact her father initially tried to dissuade her from taking up boxing as a sport "BECAUSE IT IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR GIRLS".
