    The US has been waging a completely spurious 'anti-doping' smear campaign against China. To the degree that Chinese athletes have been test more than twice as often as other countries and thr anti-doping organizations are now going to the press saying that the US is risking discrediting testing because naturally the Yanks have decided that they must be Chinese stooges if athletes keep passing.

      Poorer people also have more opportunities in China to get into sports with state support from childhood

        So the "cost" is having a society where the poor are given opportunities? Well fuck that then

      The U.S. has 34 times the raw talent pool as Cuba but only 12 times as many medals. So Cuba is 3 times as good at sports as USA.

      Ussr got 300+ gold medals in 9 Olympics, they are still the second country with the most gold medals. They owned everyone so hard the only country who has more medals participated in more than 3 times the number of different editions. And the US does not have 3 times the number of medals

    You never know what China will do next. Maybe they copy Algeria and send a woman who is really strong to the women's boxing events. Their malevolent, cunning ways know no decency.
