    The idea is actually that nearly every single one of their athletes are doping

    If you had proof of that, I’d suggest you publish it. Not just someone saying that, but actual verifiable proof of it.

    I’m sure some people who were doping (remember many were forced to under their doping programs) weren’t caught, but the big thing is there’s limited proof to the size of it.

    Then again, do you honestly 100 percent believe every other country’s athletes are clean? There’s many ways to “beat” the test, but experts guess it could be between 10-40 percent of the athletes who competed in 2020 might have been cheating with performance enhancing drugs… that’s bad, but worse, the results can be so delayed they come a decade later due to new drugs, and new tests to detect it.

      There’s tons of evidence. Why do you think they were banned in the first place?
