Xue Yinxian is a 79-year-old former Chinese doctor seeking asylum in Germany after revealing that "more than 10,000" Chinese athletes were taking performance enhancing drugs in the 1980s and 1990s as part of a systemic doping scandal by the country, he tells German broadcaster ARD.
The doctor claims that systemic doping had its roots with athletes as young as 11 years old and was used in major Olympic sports including swimming, diving, track and field, table tennis, soccer, volleyball, basketball and more. Xue worked closely with Chinese national teams in the 1970s. Xue said she was dismissed from her job with the national gymnastics team after refusing to assist an athlete with doping before the 1988 Seoul Olympics. In 2012, she fled the country after blowing the whistle on doping in 2012.

fake handbags
fake watches
fake luggage
fake rice
fake eggs
fake medication
Fake building materials
fake athletes

Just look at the eyes of ANY top level sprinter in the world right before a race. I have seen crack heads with clearer less drugged looking eyes.
The problem is that we are on the verge of performance-enhancing drugs based on the athlete’s own adult stem cells. In short, completely undetectable even with blood analysis.
Reminds me of a comment made during the Space Race when the Russians got into orbit first... (NASA official) “Their Germans were better than our Germans.”
And I thought I was hallucinating when I saw female Chinese swimmers with goatees.
It’s just awful what was done to the athletes in East Germany. Many of them are still a mess, physically, emotionally.
Wait. Is he no longer Chinese, or no longer a doctor?
Ethnicity is a flexible concept now as are so many other things these days.
