Great race, thought she lost it in the last 20.

Interesting how the BBC covered the race, one of the commentators wouldn't even say Efimova's name, simply called her lane 5.

[–]OMNeigh 248ポイント249ポイント  (74子コメント)

England really hates Russia. More than the USA, even. Anyone know why?

[–]IrelandSurfacing710 402ポイント403ポイント  (36子コメント)

The BBC crew are just very against drug cheats, they've been actively against Sun Yang* too.

[–]United KingdomNothematic 194ポイント195ポイント  (4子コメント)

They're all former swimmers (except Helen Skelton) so they all feel strongly about it. One of the commentators was actually part of the vote to ban her before it got overturned by the IOC so you can imagine he's pissed.

[–]KudzuKilla 99ポイント100ポイント  (14子コメント)

Yian might be even worse. Cheater and a dick.

[–]United Statesmoarroidsplz 28ポイント29ポイント  (11子コメント)

What's his story? I had heard that the drug was "added to the banned list after he was already taking it for his heart condition". I mean, this sounds like a coverup but what's the real full story?

[–]hoopaholik91 59ポイント60ポイント  (9子コメント)

A new substance, meldonium, was put on the banned substance list. A bunch of Russian athletes, including Maria Sharapova, "forgot" that it was going to be added and kept using anyways.

[–]United Statesmoarroidsplz 7ポイント8ポイント  (8子コメント)

I wasn't asking about Efimova, for the record. Was Yian caught for the same thing?

[–]happilythree 53ポイント54ポイント  (7子コメント)

He was taking trimetazidine, or TMZ. It's a stimulant.

He's been reportedly an asshole to his competition though - taunting, splashing them during workouts, trying to physically intimidate female swimmers, etc. There's also been reports of him acting well...I guess you'd say above the law? Traffic violations and things where he just thinks he can get away with stuff. (These are some examples that I've heard, at least)

Ye I feel sorry for all these top athletes that seem to have a very rare heart condition and the medication boosts performance. Terribly bad for them.

      i think in this case it's more Efimova than general hate towards Russia

      [–]OMNeigh 9ポイント10ポイント  (6子コメント)

      If this was isolated, I'd agree with you. But if you read the Guardian and some other (more reputable) UK news sources, it just sounds like they are more willing to show their distaste for Russia than the US media is.

      [–]ralemont 83ポイント84ポイント  (1子コメント)

      They get really annoyed if you put anything besides milk and sugar in their tea. Especially Polonium-210.

      [–]MiddleCase 35ポイント36ポイント  (6子コメント)

      Nonsense. "England" (in this case you mean Great Britain) does not "hate Russia". All you're seeing here is a bunch of former swimmers who competed clean (and probably missed out on medals as a result) who are angry with people they think are associated with cheating.

      [–]Gaowen_UK 14ポイント15ポイント  (3子コメント)

      "people they think are associated with cheating" AKA known drug cheats.

      [–]MiddleCase 4ポイント5ポイント  (2子コメント)

      You might think so, I couldn't possibly comment.

      The libel laws in the UK are very strict. 😀

      [–]Gaowen_UK 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

      Don't see how it would be libelous to label an athlete who has served a drug ban "a drug cheat". It's just a statement of fact.

          Yeah, there's no anti-Russia agenda, it's just a general distaste for drug cheats.

          [–]hmunkey 15ポイント16ポイント  (1子コメント)

          Especially since they're (almost?) all former competitors themselves.

          Yeah, that's right. Mark Foster and Rebecca Adlington are the two pundits and Adrian Moourhose is the commentator and they all competed for Britain at the Olympics.

            Spoiler : non native tired English speaker.

            Well, there is a long on going conflict between the UK and Russia. I don't really know the detail but I've been with a Russian Girl for 5 years and she always told me that she didn't feel right about England. I think part of the reason is when the USSR fel appart, a lot of rich people drained the money out of the country and fled to the UK which sheltered them.

            Recently (like 4-5 years ago) I remember Russia closing the library where you would find the English book in Moscow. Here again, it's vague but I was in Moscow at the time and due to political tension, I was unable to get an English book!

            I'm not sure about England hating Russia but I'd say Russians dislike English which should easily translate into a reciprocate feeling from the UK...

            If anyone has better / detailled explanation, you are more than welcome to share. My view on the topic is very blurry; or is it my 2 hours sleep last night?

            [–]DHolder1 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

            Quick point, say Britain instead of England, there are three nations other than England within the UK. The BBC is the British Broadcasting Corporation

              They were talking about how King was staring at her before they went out but other than that, they were mainly talking about how they didn't want Efimova to win.

                  She doesn't really even call her out that much, and it's only when the interviewer blatantly baits her with a highly leading question. The media just wanted a dramatic story.

                  He tested positive at least once, but he wasn't penalized for it at the time because he had an excuse.

                  [–]catawba1 15ポイント16ポイント  (4子コメント)

                  He gamed the system, possibly 3 times. The first, it was found out later he had a bogus retroactive therapeutic use exemption for testosterone crème for saddle sores. The second he was caught with EPO from frozen urine from 1999 many years after the fact, got those results thrown out for procedural flaws. The last was a former teammate claimed that Lance bragged about getting "popped" but they took care of it after he made a big donation to the ICU. Lance did make $100K+ donations to the ICU in the past.

                  [–]OphidianZ 7ポイント8ポイント  (3子コメント)

                  I don't see someone gaming the system... I see someone playing the game.

                  The thing I will never understand about people and Lance is that they somehow think he was the only one. Or that there were only a few. Practically everyone was doping. They took the Tour from Lance but giving it to someone else is almost impossible. The next non-doping person is somewhere past 15th place.

                  [–]quantumhovercraft 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

                        I think everyone would agree, but thinking there's no chance you'll show up positive and actually being clean aren't really the same thing. Supposedly "everyone" does it because the tests are behind the curve in accuracy.

                        [–]Scushies 48ポイント49ポイント  (5子コメント)

                        Well, keep in mind King is an NCAA athlete and in my opinion their list of banned substances is more extensive and enforced more than the IOC's. The chances of her being clean are pretty darn high considering how strict the NCAA is.

                        [–]catawba1 5ポイント6ポイント  (1子コメント)

                        I don't know. About 3 or 4 years ago, I had to look into NCAA drug testing and it was supposed to be very weak. Mostly, of the cheap urine testing during competition. Hardly any blood testing and not much out of competition testing, which is how most athletes use PEDs and get caught. I think they only had a $3M budget for their entire testing program, which is tiny for the amount of athletes they have to cover.

                            We're only starting to learn about long term effects of doping.
                            The sprinter Ben Johnson for example was still able to do competitive 100m times, prompting organizations to consider longer term bans from competition.

                                  There should be an adjusted medal tally with people like Sun and Efimova removed from the classifications, and medals redistributed accordingly. Call it the "Medal-Tally-with-Political-Doping-Blindspots-Removed". Clearly these charlatans would have had lifelong bans without significant political support.

                                  [–]AustraliaDonakebab 26ポイント27ポイント  (8子コメント)

                                  All in good time, Efi's ban is just on hold until the investigation is complete. She'll get shut down when WADA are done and her medal will be stripped. Just a shame that she steals the rightful winners of their time in the sun at the games.

                                  If a medal is stripped do they give it to the person who finished under? Like her silver would go to the person who got bronze, and fourth would move up to bronze.

                                          I thought that was just the right amount of shade - if she had wagged her finger again it would have been a little bit too much. Instead she just came right out and said what she needed to say.

                                          She said that after the reporter pressed her for it. (Paraphrased)

                                          "Did you make a statement?"

                                          "..But I meant the Efimova thing, did you make a statement about that when you won?"

                                          She's the media darling because of it, too. Probably a smart and potentially lucrative idea on her part.

                                                    The booing from the crowd when her named was called at the start of the race gave me a justice boner. Part of me wished that happened at the medal ceremony as well.

                                                    EDIT: Uh oh, looks like the Russians are mad that the world knows their country has a state-sanctioned doping program.

                                                            Most people like it. I'm a porter/stout snob, so I'm not as keen on it as the average person, but I will quickly buy a growler. However, it is pretty good and easily drinkable. And it's currently not available. It might return in September or October.

                                                              Plenty of the American athletes are doped or have doped. Plenty of athletes all around the world are doped or have doped.

                                                              They probably are, but it's hard to attack someone who has never been caught. On the other hand, a lot of Russian athletes in Rio (including Efimova) were caught multiple times (including this year!) and let off the hook for political reasons.

                                                              In the UK at least Gay and Gatlin are pretty much vilified by media coverage and general public opinion. Gatlin in particular for his brash behaviour and lack of contrition post-ban. If you read up on Dwayne chambers pre-2012 you'll see that he had almost zero support as a result of his drugs ban and was considered a huge embarrassment.

                                                                            While she broke an Olympic record.

                                                                            He was convinced everyone would be talking about it.

                                                                            No one is talking about it.

                                                                            This is like the day after we got into a huge argument about politics where it was literally me against four other people and I found out he was a fucking birther.

                                                                            Edit: image of the offending suit design

I thought he was saying the Russian's pink suit looked bad but he was fixated on Lilly. Like, even after she won he said it was an embarrassment and that she'd be harassed in the age of social media.

                                                                              It's two in the morning, and no one on social media has said a goddamn thing about her swimsuit. Victory to the non-birthers.

My best friend's boss, an olympic gymnastic gold champion says that Olympics are not the same thing he viewed them as growing up.
                                                                              I stopped watching Olympics for last 12 years, aside from some figure skating.
