RE:olympics is bullshit
by Calspadeaspade on Aug 09, 2008 12:10 AM

Exactly. How many Indians have even seen a swimming pool?. What ever medals some Indians won like P.T.Usha and Malleswari are by their own effort with out any help from the state or any corporations. In a country like australia or US families are naturally into sports. They have the means. Not so in a poor country like India.Commie countries like CHina and USSR East Germany(before) had rigorous nationalized program because they had to show to the world they are the best. Look at Russia now. This was obvious in figure skating in winter olympics where Russians flopped. About steroid it is a fact almopst all athletes are in it. Some are caught after the event like marian Jones and Ben Johnson. Many are not caught.
