They didn't necessarily have to go through any testing, they just had to convince the committee in charge of their particular sport that they weren't doping.Originally Posted by escobert
that's sad that people feel the need to boo the few that were allowed to come. If they're there competing they have gone through extensive testing to prove they haven't been doping.
Just like Rio only had to convince the Olympic Committee that they were going to clean up their water for the Olympics, not actually do it.
On the whole, I couldn't really care less about this. I don't watch much raw television these days anyway, and sports are not high on my priority of which shows to start with. Winter Olympics are far superior to the Summer Olympics.
But the whole mess of bribery, corruption, lies, and deceit is just to the point that I don't care. I don't care how many medals the US wins, or what drama pops up. I just ignore it.
I did watch a bit when it was on, though, and handball did turn out to be a pretty decent sport to watch during a meal. Better than soccer or basketball.
