As an athlete, if you ever need a performance enhancing substance, don’t come sneaking around Papa’s medicine cabinet. I have lots of heart medication but I keep an accurate count so I’d know if even one pill was missing. Go to Russia where grandfathers are not as careful about control of medications. Witness a 15 years old ROC Olympian who failed a drug test. Part of her defense was some convoluted cross contamination from her dear old grandpa’s heart medication. Sounds like a whopper. But, it gets better. She actually tested positive for three banned substances. However, enter the International. She won on appeal and is allowed to compete.
Now, you might ask what the dickens is the ROC? It is the Russian Olympic Committee. ROC for short. The ROC exists because there is a history of so many failed drug tests by Russian Olympians that Russia is banned. They exist, therefore they cheat. Enter the International once again. Russian under a ROC flag are allowed but Russians under a Russian flag are not. Keeping track? Kind of set up by the same birds with UN mentality or alligence to WHO. Make everyone feel better and don’t get overly concerned with logic. So, the Russians keep cheating and pumping performance enhancing drugs into ROC athletes. Almost like they are still Russians. I guess if it gets too bad (Can it be worse than the obvious?) the International might have to ban ROC and force Russians to use a third name and flag. Certainly that would stop the cheating.
Of course, both the International and the Russians don’t seem bothered by the fact that a child (age15) has various drugs injested/injected into her body. I assume the ROC or Mother Russia doesn’t have to worry if there are side effects after she competes. There’s an Olympics every four years no matter what happens to the young girl.
