Now that its here I'm waiting for the reaction of some countries. When the US starts getting alot of gold medals, will other countries start whinning and complaining, its not fair?
Should the atlethes from the US not try as hard so other countries can get more Gold Medals?
Lets take the stance, "Winning doesn't matter." we don't want other countries to feel bad.
Let see how many complaints come out?

Err their complaining the USA has a VERY relaxed drug policy. As such it is possibly that american athletes are using drugs with next to no possibility of being caught and as such getting an unfair advantage on the rest of the world. Don't feel singled out. Russia used to get a fair number of complaints about the age of the girls they used to enter.
I see why you think this is the rest of the world being bad sportsmen but if your guys are innocent why haven’t you put the tests into effect if only to shut the critics up.
Anyway the Olympics haven’t been fair for a good while now. Competitors from richer countries have a fair advantage in training and support etc etc.

I would say at least 30 years, probably closer to 40, why?
Now, that's something I haven't heard anything about. Who's complaining?

The NBA dream team, that they are, all sleeping through the game. Maybe someone forgot to tell them this isn't an All Star game.
