> Aren’t the Olympics supposed to be the purist form of sports?

No. The Olympics has nothing to do with Sports. The Olympics is supposed to be a showcase for the host country, a 24x7 infomercial for the sponsors, and an opportunity for steroid-enhanced monsters to compete against real Athletes and earn megabucks in sponsorships for “winning”.

> Will cheating in sports ever end?

There is no cheating in Sports. But there is plenty of cheating in the Olympics.

And these are the ChiCom Olympics — we all knew that the ChiComs are as crooked as a tub-of-guts, so why is anyone surprised that they are proving to be superb cheats?

Indeed, I would be bitterly disappointed in the ChiComs DIDN’T cheat better than anyone else.

That is why they are ChiComs. And they are doing what they do best.

To: DieHard the Hunter

Yes. The Olympics is a picture of Sport but, as with a movie, the sportsmen, especially of countries to which winning is a “showcase” of ideological or national superiority, the parts are all played by actors with scripts, maybe even with stunt doubles.
