  1. Yea, they should make sure that for a country who is caught doping/cheating in any form, they miss the next Olympics. Minimum. After all, seeing this America 2ould never be in the olympics is this was followed through.

  2. All this doping in figure skating is a bunch of junk. I can take tons of any substances, but I will never be able to do a quad. In marathon, I understand, can make a difference, but not in figure skating.

  3. At some point in the future, people with XY chromosomes competing in events for people with XX chromosomes will probably take #1 in this list.

  4. Is the editor 12? The second clips repeating what rebecca just said is very annoying, i actually clicked off the video because it got too much

  5. Stripping Johann Mühlegg of his Olympic titles hardly corrected the situation, he completely ruined the 30k race and killed off what could have been an epic moment in Olympic history for Ole Einar Bjørndalen.

  6. So how did Jim Thrope cheat? I'm not seeing what you're see with this one. I mean even the IOC gave him his medal back.

  7. These videos are becoming more and more silly and poorly made. Someone says a word at the end of the sentence and then there’s a random clip from some non sequitur pointless film or TV series that happens to repeat the word. Why? What does this add to the video, certainly not enjoyment. That’s for sure

  8. So they all just did medicine? Sorry but that is INSANELY boring and not even worth a video. Dislike from me idk

  9. Man, that badminton match at London 2012 had me laughing, like that's something I'd expect to see out of a humor focused playthrough of a sports video game on YouTube where the players do it just for laughs and having fun with it, not the actual real life sporting events itself.

  10. I'd like to know how/why capsaicin is a banned substance for horses. Give the guy the jalapeno and he's disqualified?

  11. I read somewhere many years ago,abaut that Swedish guy who on the summer 1948 London Olympics,competed on the equestrian event and was disqualified because he wasn't an officer,but the reality was his Horse tested positive for Steroids, Cocaine and LSD.

  12. Ben Johnson says "everybody cheats in life"…. sorry bruh, that's not true. Maybe YOU cheat because you have no conscience… but other people do.

  13. While I get that PEDs is cheating haven’t they found like at top events like Tour de France usually the top 30% has taken PEDs.

    And have not famous athletes like Carl Lewis been caught decades later. I get it is cheating but it seems the ones who get caught just did not have a great system underneath them.
