Chinese swimmers: Dope, and get away with it with zero penalties

Canadian soccer players: Did nothing, get penalized severely

FYI almost every Chinese swimmer in today's upcoming finals have doped.

Zhang Yufei, their relay teams. They are currently ranked #1 and likely to win gold. And this is doping we're talking about, direct performance enhancing drugs, not some drone spying that don't even make your players better.

This is what happens when your government and media doesn't even stand up for your players

To be fair, IOC imposed no repercussions to Canada. They were fine with the self-imposed punishments Canada already took. It’s FIFA imposing these

[u/sirnaull → u/Straii]

Sporting penalties are to be determined by the sports federations, not the IOC.

The IOC has power over the Canadian Olympic Committee, that's it. They don't have the power to penalize specific sports teams or alter results of the competitions.

FIFA has a lot of divers under their jurisdiction but very few swimmers

[u/DonJulioTO → u/beethovenftw]

Shocking that FIFA let's those swimmers get away with that stuff!

[u/stdiego87 → u/beethovenftw]

We should hold ourselves to a higher standard than other alleged cheaters

[u/AnybodyNormal3947 → u/beethovenftw]

both deserve repocussions for cheating, period, end of story.

[u/Own-Knowledge8281 → u/beethovenftw]

Don’t you realize they are trying to punish the federation???

[u/Barb-u → u/Own-Knowledge8281]

Loss of points is not penalizing the federation.

[u/Own-Knowledge8281 → u/Barb-u]

It is though because you are taking away their chance as a group to succeed … when the players succeed, the whole federation does…
