China also got lots of gold medals in swimming, shooting, weight lifting, .. even track & field. Educate yourself.
And America gets many many more, as well as providing training facilities for athletes from all over the world, through our university sports programs. Educate yourself -- or have you, already, in America?

In China, athletes are considered government employees and get paid. After they retire, the government also assigns them jobs (if they accept). Not a bad deal for poor families.
Aside from the fact that in China everyone is considered a government employee, one may ask: Employees or slaves? Considering that they are forbidden to criticize the government, have free access to the internet, or emigrate, that is a fair question...

OMG you are so ignorant. China has millions of private companies and the vast majority of people are not hired by the government. In fact, nowadays one needs to pass a civil service exam to be considered, and the test is quite difficult. Could you do some study before spreading lies?
China has much more internet users than the US, and the world's second largest search engine etc. China actually wants more people to leave (they even have birth control!), but countries like USA does not accept them!
I do not see the necessity to talk to a person as ignorant as you.
Aside from the facts that no American swimmers or gymnasts have ever been caught doping, and are tested regularly, your suspicions are justified.
Very few gymnasts dope to begin with. Maybe American swimmers are not caught, but a lot of Americans athletes are, including the very famous Lance Armstrong.

China does not have many blacks, so there is always a disadvantage in track & field. However, top Chinese sprinters run faster than top white counterparts.

Translation: you can't compete with the facts. Maybe you are bitter for having been denied a visa? Now go Google "Dalai Lama" on the second-largest search engine and see what happens.

Who is not an Olympian. But don't let the facts get in your way.
And please keep displaying your jealousy of America. It makes our Olympic successes even sweeter.

Just admit your mistake. There is nothing wrong to admit a mistake.

Olympians? Are you old enough to know Marion Jones?
Marion Lois Jones (born October 12, 1975), also known as Marion Jones-Thompson, is an American former world champion track and field athlete and a former professional basketball player for Tulsa Shock in the WNBA. She won three gold medals and two bronze medals at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia, but was later stripped of the titles after admitting to steroid use.[1][2] Jones did retain her three gold medals as a world champion from 1997 and 1999.
At the time of her admission and subsequent guilty plea, Marion Jones was one of the most famous athletes to be linked to the BALCO scandal.[3] The case against BALCO covered more than 20 top level athletes including Jones's ex-husband shot putter C.J. Hunter and 100 m sprinter Tim Montgomery, the father of Jones's first child.
