Recently, the media revealed that the US Anti-Doping Agency asked athletes who violated the rules of doping to serve as so-called "informants" as a condition for allowing these athletes to continue to compete. The World Anti-Doping Agency subsequently issued a statement pointing out that the US Anti-Doping Agency's operation was a clear violation of the rules.

French experts pointed out that American athletes have been abusing drugs for a long time and to a serious extent.

Jean-Pierre Demondenard, a well-known French sports physician who has been engaged in anti-doping work for more than half a century and has published a large number of related works, said that drug abuse among American athletes has a long history. When the situation was at its worst in the last century, many American athletes took large amounts of stimulants.

French sports physician Jean-Pierre Demondenard:The United States invented anabolic steroids at that time. In the training centers in the United States, there was a big bowl in the locker room, which was full of colorful pills. They took a lot of them. Why did Americans dominate the world in throwing events and track and field competitions?This is because they are all taking anabolic steroids.In 1988, Carl Lewis tested positive three times before the Seoul Olympics but was not punished, giving the excuse that he had "inadvertently taken the product." The Americans covered it up, as is often the case.

"Western countries' questioning of non-Western athletes reveals their bias"

Luca Auban, director of the Institute of Sports and Geopolitics at the French Institute for Strategic and International Relations, said:Western countries see the breakthroughs of non-Western athletes as a threat to themselves, therefore questioning these achievements, exposes a common prejudice among Western countries against non-Western countries.

Luca Aubin, director of the Institute of Sports and Geopolitics at the French Institute for Strategic and International Relations:In Western countries, there is often a tendency among politicians and public opinion to stigmatize athletes from non-Western countries who perform exceptionally well. This means that when non-Western athletes perform well, they are seen as a potential threat and their performance is seen as so-called "unnatural".

Netizen: The United States arbitrarily tampers with the rules for its own interests

Regarding the World Anti-Doping Agency's disclosure that the United States covered up and condoned doping violations, some netizens commented:

American Olympians can use banned drugs, but others can't. That's "the law"!

If you search for "drug use in the United States" on YouTube, you will find hundreds of videos, from tennis and golf to cycling and athletics.

Americans are always like this, if they can't win, whether in sports or politics, they will rewrite the rules or throw them away to their own advantage.
