Maybe not as many as I thought, although certainly not insignificant. This citation counts 11.

The whole thing, not just here but in general, seems to be turning into into referenda on China and the U.S. It has become emotionally loaded. I have really been trying not to go there so here is my signoff (I hope) on the topic until some hard data comes in. Even if she is guilty, it is not unique to China by any means. Many nations, definitely including the U.S., have been guilty of doping. I was responding to the passing pageant and that is all.

I especially liked the comments of the Chinese or Chinese-American guy in Ann Arbor. I respect him for what he said and the way he said it. That is way closer to my feelings about the Olympic games than gotcha news stories or which nation wins more medals. One world, if that isn't too hopelessly utopian.



>>Now maybe this was just an incredible performance by an unknown athlete. But the Chinese have a history, as does the sport of swimming. Remember the notorious East German "womens" teams of the 80s, who looked and performed like NFL linebackers? As does bicycling, where the elite athletes are basically all assumed to be doping.

>The Chinese have a history? It seems the USA has more story than the Chinese (8 cases against 1 in the Olympics since 1968) according to this and the details in here (and they are not counting this guy that just confessed he was doped when USA won gold, I think the COI took away his Gold medal and they were studying the possibility of take away the gold for the whole team, can't remember neither the sport nor the year, but I think it was 20 years ago or so the doping, revealed recently (like last week or so?))
