She supposedly takes Ritalin, which is banned in Japan, so that may be why she quit some of the events.
Role model? For crazy?
Olympic awards need updating...
Gold, Silver, Bronze and Participation Trophies.
I believe in due coarse it will come out that it wasn’t her decision to drop out of events, it was a warning by Tokyo Olympic officials about a blood test — thereby risking the entire USA team.
... then like this story, they “temporarily” approved the drugs she was taking, allowing her to compete in her final event.
Then we will learn that the drugs she was “permitted to take” are banned in the future.
The Olympic games are tarnished, team USA is tarnished, Simone Biles is tarnished — after all, the final choice was hers to take the drugs.
Screw all of them — we are back in the days when East Germany was cheating with drugs.
That photo is not Biles, is it?
Yeah, that was pretty heroic to abandon her team. At least she came back to compete personally because it’s all about her. What an arrogant look she has on that magazine cover. She should be ashamed of herself.
Biles has stated two of her role models are fellow quitters Lebron James and Naomi Osaka. She has expressed support for BLM, George Floyd, and Breonna Taylor. Biles came up with the “twisties” explanation after the “mental health” baloney didn’t wash. She embarrassed the country and cost Team USA at least two gold medals. Bottom line: Biles choked and then made excuses for it.
I wouldn’t say she is a failure. A competitor though, she is not.
