If you watch on NBC you'd never know because they only show events that Americans win. I was kind of stoked yesterday when they covered table tennis. But then I saw the match was between a yank and a guy from Moldova. The American crushed the dude every game. The announcers washed his balls the entire match, aside from a little mention of the dude getting suspended for ghosting three consecutive drug tests. I'd actually watch if they'd show random events with no commentary.
Edit: if you want huck your phone through a windows, Google "team usa Olympians failed drug test" Results are about Chinese swimmers
Yeah that's not fishy at all.
Why I'm glad I'm not watching the Olympics with my family past couple days. They won't shut up about how clearly the only reason China is good at any sport has to be doping.
Meanwhile my dad thinks the worst any US athlete can be on is weed so we're very clearly not doping.
What do PEDs for table tennis even look like?
Probably ADD meds
Also steroids are good for recovery along with gaining muscle
In Soviet North China etc
