I've tasted all their piss and it all tastes the same.
Most honest hexbear enjoyer
Common sense?
Have you played sports before? Even at the high school level teenagers are pumping their body full of steriods. I saw them do it myself, I've heard the stories from my friends who played rugby. Just look at top high school rugby or american football teams physiques, or at the cardio capacity of teenage track and field athletes. You really think that level is attainable without performance enhancing drugs, at such a widespread level? You really think that stops once these athletes become adults? How about the fact that all of Usain Bolt's competition got caught doping? You can't be this gullible. Seriously, read the article I've linked below.

Russia's sin here was official state involvement, not doping. As long as you pass the drug tests, nothing matters. Remember that Lance Armstrong never failed a drug test. Does that mean he's a clean athlete? Of course not, and neither was any of his competition. The same applies to the Olympics, the same applies to almost all competitive sports.
So no proof? That's what I figured.
I did play sports. None of us took anything.
Do you follow baseball or football?
Do you know we're talking about the Olympics?
I'm going to assume you follow one or both, and that you're aware of the high prevalence of PEDs in both.
Now how are Olympic sports different than those leagues? Is there less of an incentive to cheat? Is the IOC more interested in preventing cheating? Do the athletes not care as much?
If anything, there is likely more doping in the Olympics because you have the resources of state actors backing athletes, see, e.g., Russia.
I'm not the jackass who claimed every Olympian is doping. You guys are pathetic when trying to justify hyperbole. Lol
So you understand it's hyperbole but still take it literally just to argue? Take that shit back to reddit
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_doping_cases_in_cycling
There is nothing that makes cycling significantly different from any other sport in terms of the advantages of doping, the testing for it, or the means of evasion.
I didn't realize that list contained every cyclist and Olympian.
Why make such a stupid comment? "Oh you mean literally every athlete is doping, well show me the piss of literally every athlete ever, oh that's impossible? Fucking rekt"
You should be directing that comment to the dingus who literally claimed every athlete is doping in response to me. Try reading previous comments before acting like a dipshit while deep in the thread. Lol
He didn't. That's not how language works and you know it -- you told me you knew it was hyperbole in another comment! Maybe try and have a conversation instead of this pedantic 🤓 "ummm ACKSHUALLY your statement is not LITERALLY 100% correct and backed up by six sources of my liking" garbage.
