American Swimmer Loses to Russia, Alleges Drug Use in Response

The only thing that is more embarrassing than losing is to lose and then accuse your opponent of using performance-enhancing drugs.

It is truly humiliating to be associated with liberal Americans.

US swimmer Ryan Murphy suggested the Olympic 200m backstroke final “probably wasn’t clean” after Evgeny Rylov beat him to pick up his second gold medal of the Tokyo Games for the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) team.

Having already scooped 100m backstroke gold earlier in the week, Rylov stormed to the 200m title at the Tokyo Aquatics Centre on Friday in an Olympic record time of 1 minute 53.27 seconds.

American swimmer Murphy – the defending champion from the Rio Games five years ago – was forced to settle for silver with a time of 1 minute 54.15 seconds.

Britain’s Luke Greenbank won bronze, finishing just over half a second further back.

Three-time Olympic champion Murphy, who finished third behind ROC star Rylov and teammate Kliment Kolesnikov in the 100m backstroke final earlier in the week, was asked after Friday’s defeat if he had any concerns about doping in his races.

“I’ve got 15 thoughts, 13 of them would get me into a lot of trouble,” Murphy told journalists.

“It is what it is. I try not to get caught up in that. It is a huge mental drain on me to go throughout the year, that I am swimming in a race that’s probably not clean and that is what it is.”

The media of course cued up the attack on Russia.

I wonder why they don’t say the obvious thing: swimming is too white!

Honestly, it’s shocking that the Olympics even still exist.

This entire concept of nations putting forth their best genetic specimens to perform against each other goes against the foundations of the liberal order.
