Comments by "Tony Wilson" (@tonywilson4713) on "The TRUTH About Chinese Olympic Swimmers Revealed!" video.
Get real the Olympics were made shameful decades ago when they never clamped down on doping among the East Germans, Russian and AMERICANS. Track and field has been rife with doping. You're forgetting the Sydney Olympics and the American track & field team who had 1/2 the team only there by court orders suppressing failed tests. Then came the BALCO controversy when we found out even more of them were on stuff nobody even knew existed.. Everyone is also forgetting what the Chinese Swimmers got up to at the Barcelona Olympics which involved a massive cover-up orchestrated by FINA and the IOC. I'm Australian and ex-swimmer who went to college in America. One of my American friends was cheated out of a Gold Medal in Barcelona. We all knew what they were doing and we worked out how it was covered up. The Olympics have had ugly politics going back decades. Go back and check the Berlin Games, when Hitler tried to make it into the Aryan Games.

@grandwonder5858 You're 1/2 right in that there's been some insane hypocrisy but that insane hypocrisy has been going on for decades. What you and everyone else is forgetting is just how bad Chinese swimming was in the 1990s. I am an ex-swimmer and know a shite load better than you just how bad they were. I even had a friend cheated out of a gold at Barcelona. It was actually a British coach who uncovered what FINA and the IOC did to cover it all up. I can explain they if you want but its not a short story and so we are clear there were a couple of other countries also well known to have their swimmers jacked up. Most notably Hungary. But then at the Sydney Olympics the US Track and field team turned up and among their athletes there had been OVER 150 failed tests in the year before they arrived in Sydney. C.J. Hunter the then husband of the later disgraced Marion Jones actually turned up in Sydney expecting to compete despite failing several tests. Marion Jones dominated the 100m sprint in a way nobody had seen since Florence Griffith Joyner and we all knew how jacked up she was. At the time people said how could Marion Jones do it and a couple of years later we found out during the BALCO scandal. SO YES you and others are dead right. There's some incredible hypocrisy going on, but then the Chinese have an incredible history of cheating with drugs at the Olympics and especially in swimming. They have NOBODY to blame but themselves for their reputation and the doubt that comes with it.
