Sadly I think this is far more common than we think. [/quote]

There's no way the US dopes significantly MORE than other nations; it probably dopes less than most.  Jamaican runners are doped to the gills (http://www.bbc.com/sport/athletics/24900565) and China and Russia are as well.[/quote]

Also, it's pretty hilarious for the British to be pointing their fingers at anyone when it comes to doping, given Sky, British Cycling in general, Mo Farah, etc, etc...

I don't know what the answer is, but I feel for the one top-level doper in a thousand who gets caught and gets their life destroyed while nearly everyone else is doing the same thing, and pretending sport is clean. It's literally endemic to nearly all sports. [/quote]

Actually, it's pretty hilarious for you to insinuate doping at Team GB, as none of their Olympians at Rio has ever tested positive. Sure, the finger was pointed at Mo Farah's (American) coach. But Farah has never tested positive, and he must be one of the most scrutinised athletes around. Pity the likes of Team USA's Justin Gatlin can't make that clean claim. [/quote]
