My daughter was an elite swimmer. When she first felt her first sting of trash talk in the pool - this from her own team mates mind you - she was upset.

My advice- keep your gob shut and let your swimming do the talking and that will take care of it. And it did.

The Russians and other eastern European states have been cheating in every Olympics since doping was invented and it's always been state sponsored doping. These states have also been known to payoff officials to cheat on the drug tests.

There should be a penalty to the whole team when even one athlete is caught doping. That penalty should be disqualification for the entire team and losing all medals. Repeat offenses should carry a banishment to the next Olympics.

Doping would fade into history.

Never let your mouth write a check that your ass can’t cover.

In this case she covered the check.

Just imagine if she couldn’t...

For the IOC. It’s all about the money. Follow the money and you’ll see who gets to use drugs and still compete.
