One doesn't necessarily have to be pro-American or anti-Chinese bias here, it is just suspicious raised by common sense.

In 1988 when Florence Griffith-Joyner, at age 29, went from being a fairly decent 200 meter runner to suddenly setting world records in 100 meter and 200 meter dash out of reach I make the same assumption.

Yep and Danny Almonte was only 12 years old at the little league world series a few years ago when he was pumping heat down all those little kids throats and threw a perfect game. I think he married some 30yo woman when he was in hi skool too. Always had issues with his age group it appears. LOL

If you aint cheating you aint trying according to some.

Why do you think the NFL players union doesn't want HGH testing? They are ALL on the juice. How else to those guys get so big, fast and come back a week after mashing into each other like freight trains to do it over again and again?

There were 7 medals stripped from the 2008 games (so far) due to failed drug tests....all of them came AFTER the medals were awarded mind you.

The olympics are riddled with cheating so suspicions, especially with certain sports and countries, are part and parcel of the scene.
As I expected, when I point out that Ye Shiwen has never flunked a drug test, the whiners quickly change the subject and talk about other athletes.

When Ye flunks a drug test, then you can complain about her being on the juice. And I'll be right up there with you, yelling in outrage and demanding her medals be stripped and that she be tossed out on her kiester.

Until then, you are whining like a bunch of spoiled babies over our athletes getting their butts kicked by a better athlete, nothing more.

Where did American character and class go?

I'm sure all the competitors know who is on the good stuff. Heck most of em probably are on some type of athletic enhancing something or other. They drug test the medal winners I'm sure so I don't see what the big deal is. If somebody was to come out and scream about it who was a fellow competitor they would put themselves in the spotlight to be tested too. Probably why we don't see many screaming.

I've said the same things about Marion Jones before she got busted. Her hubby was a former athlete banned for performance enhancing drugs.

Said the same things about Barry Bonds, Sosa, McGuire and others when their performances magically skyrocketed.

You will notice I never said she cheated, just that it's suspicious and there is a HUGE track record of the Chinese using PED's or did you ignore the 27 different athletes booted from the Sydney games team?

Her results are suspicious but I'm not calling her a cheat.

Speaking of class and character, your insulting me because I am pointing out a history of abuse isn't exactly classy nor full of character. In fact, you are violating the TOS with personal attacks but fortunately for you this particular forum allows a lot of leniency because we get a lot of stupid pieces of crap like you posting here.
(Aw, did someone call widdle baby a name? Go cry baby.)

He didn't test positive! How dare you imply such a thing!?!?

LOL they CAUGHT 6 medal winners and a HORSE using drugs at the last olympics.
Makes you wonder how many non-medal winners and people not caught would add to the total. LOL.

P.S. The horse claimed that it was flax-seed oil but the IOC still penalized them.

Yep. And it goes all the way down to the highschoolers.

I personally know a number of guys that took the juice back in highschool for football and that was 25 years ago.
