He clearly has an extra chromosome rattling about in there somewhere or had the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck a bit too long.

Damn, what's that say about Alain Bernard and the French if they couldn't even beat a guy suffering from Downs? Not that you guys aren't accustomed to losing at everything worthwhile, though.  :-\

it will be interesting to see what kind of media offers will start rolling in considering he is far from handsome
at this time and place he is perhaps the worlds greatest athlete and at the same time one of the homeliest
and in our LOOKS ORIENTATED society his gold medals will only take him so far

im not sure who it is but i heard a report that one of his sponsors was gonna pay him $1 million if he won 7 golds.

he may have a "look" to him, but Americans(and lots of others) love the guy so guaranteed sponsors will be linig up.

Title: If Michael Phelps was Chinese or Russian would it change your mind about doping?
Post by: El Diablo Blanco on August 18, 2008, 08:35:08 AM
There seems to be a lot of support for Phelps being clean.  partially because he's American.  If he was chinese or Russian would that change your opinion?

It's obvious he and a lot of Olympians are on something but what?  These athletes use substances that are years away from being discovered by the general mass and testing labs.  In Carl Lewis's day he was jacked on HGH.  Hi big jaw was evident.  The IOC never thought of HGH as a performance enhancer and there were not any tests available.

Same with Balco.  It was an unknown drug and there weren't any tests.  As time goes on we'll learn about what the new drug de jour was for this Olympics.

Did you see that one Chinese broad that lifted over 400 pounds overhead?   THIS IS A WOMAN WHO LIFTED OVER 400 POUNDS OVER HER FUCKING HEAD.

Bitch please.  The Olympics are the testing ground for new research , new drugs , new ways of "cheating".  Technically it's not cheating if there aren't any rules for it yet.

World records were broken like crazy, records from known juicers yet these people claim to have been clean while breaking a juicers record.  Yeah sure.

Yeah, I think the patriotism blinds people.  If there was some 6 foot 6 chinaman breaking every record known to man by a few seconds and winning Gold in everything he tried, most people would bet he was on drugs, if they had to bet their rent check.

These folks think it's unpatriotic to believe our guys use the gas.  It's not.  Everyone uses it.

I was at a club during the 8th phelps race, and everything stopped when he went.  it was a 4 man relay and the whole place just stared for 3 minutes, then went absolutely apeshit when he won.

USA, baby.  that's what it's all about.  The playing field IS level.  You know china has juiced 12 year old girls in competitions.  And deep down, you know our guys are juiced too.

He's a hero because after spending 20 years doing nothing but swimming he's the best. That's heroic stuff. Imagine if he applied that sort of blind dedication to curing cancer or some other noble pursuit.

You think the host country, China, has 39 gold medals naturally?  So many of their athletes are winning golds and normally suck.  You think they want to be embarrassed when they host the games?  They dope the shit outta their athletes, always have and always will.  The same can be said for the Jamaicans before this year..lol.  At least the US doesn't snatch kids up from the fields, train them all day long, beat them if they fuck up and then toss them aside after they can no longer compete.

They are all fucked, they take their blood and freeze it then retest when new tests come out.He WILL get found out at some point,even if its 50-100 years in the future.

will the IOC devalue its worth by DQ'ing, in some cases, all 8 participants?

He doesn't care if he'll be fcked in 10 years.  He'll be a 100-millionaire with hot bitches and a big house.  He'll deny it, some folks here will cry "the test was a fake!" and we'll all know he was gassed.

Thus my loss of interest in the olympics.  Winning a medal doesn't mean shit anymore because half the time they take the medals back years later.  Once you win a medal it should be yours forever.

No arguing that he's the best swimmer ever.  But he sure comes across like an idiot in interviews.  He will probably get a P.R. coach now that hes about to sign a few kazillion dollars worth of endorsements. :o

You going to shoot yourself in the head if he never tests positive?

The IOC won't do shit. That's their greatest athlete ever. It would completely sully every thing good about the Olympics. Hell, China's blatantly skirting the rules by putting 12 year old on their gymnastics team and the IOC just turns a blind eye.

Having Phelps test positive would be catastrophic for the Olympics.

This Olympics is as corrupt as the one held in Nazi Germany. In general the Olympics is a world of evil, nations fighting for world fame, multi million dollar contracts...come on now....the Olympics got more drugs and crimes behind it than a Colombian drug cartel.

If Phelps is using so is just about every other swimmer.  Especially guy who lost by just 1/100th of a second.  Cause if Phelps is using then that guy is too or Phelps is not using the best stuff.

Marion Jones didn't look so innocent after then Balco shit.

Phelps has yet to be defamed by something like that. Phelps also doesn't have Marion Jones' drugged up look. He looks pure and innocent.
