    The only “scandals” I can ever recall whenever the Olympics come up is doping, specifically of Russian athletes (although, nowadays I am incredibly skeptical if those allegations are even true), but this year there’s been so much outside of doping accusations its actually insane. I do wonder if it has to do with politics outside of the sport, because America and the collective west are steadily declining in favour and maybe thats why they’re being more aggressive in their accusations and animosity…

      I think that’s exactly what it is. The Olympics has traditionally been used as a way to promote western superiority. Now that the west isn’t dominating, we see a lot of animosity as a result.
