His hair looks like it’s on upsidedown.
Phelps was actually so good that he needed to slow his performance down with bongloads and Subway sandos so people wouldn’t assume he was doping.
Track Star Sha’Carri Richardson had to give up a gold medal after she tested positive for THC following a match.
And Usain Bolt ate exclusively McDoods Nugs.
IIRC, the reason he gave is they’re consistent pretty much anywhere in the world. Last thing you want before an event is food poisoning.
with all the calories they’re burning they can afford it anyway. i vaguely remember phelps talking about his usual daily meals being like stacks of chocolate chip waffles, and not chicken breast with salad as you might expect.
It’s both, not one or the other. Dude was trying to get 8,000+ calories a day and also huge amounts of protein at the same time
What about things that may or may not constitute doping? Someone with some cold meds still in their system or who huffed oxygen before competition? Someone taking meds for a known condition that still had trace amounts in their system on the day?
There are many situations in which someone may have a foreign substance in their body that could provide advantage where they may be unaware that the substance is still lingering at competition time.
Not to mention, you’ll get people eliminating the competition by slipping them a mickey before the event….

https://www.bbc.com/sport/winter-olympics/37703011 it’s already happened. She got some cold medicine from her doctor while in Italy.
you can also get therapeutic exceptions ahead of time.
How far ahead of time would you have to be, though? Colds and other common ailments are known for coming on quite suddenly and with little warning, after all…
yeah I was just saying it’s not all done after the fact. People with known conditions can get exceptions. And issues with colds etc are reviewed, it’s not like an automatic DSQ.
True. An example from another sport is road race cyclist Bo Hamburger who got an exemption because he had asthma.
Apparently the same inhaler that helps asthmatic people breathe helps non-asthmatic people breathe TOO well or something along those lines lol
IIRC all the norwegian xcountry skiers have asthma. Amazing that they can still dominate the sport, despite their illness.
I mean honestly if it can be proved someone cheated in any competition knowingly then they should be banned.
This from the genetic freak that might as well have been designed in a lab for swimming who argued that trans women should be banned from competing to ensure “a level playing field”.
If you look up the word “hypocrite” in the dictionary, there’s a picture of Michael Phelps.

I looked it up and found that dictionaries generally don’t contain pictures.
You must not have the hypothetical edition I got 🤔
Good save
Thanks 😁

But then there is no one left.
For a while
All we had to do to get rid of sports was to rigorously attempt to make them fair? Wow. Sports are DAF.
