I'm not really sure what's meant by the BALCO referrence, since that's just one lab producing PED's, and the East Germans reputable had quite a few and worked with the Soviets.
If you're trying to make some argument that this is somehow an American-devised conspiracy theory, then I think you should look at who's posted in this thread. I'm pretty certain I'm the only American track fan here. There are lots of others, but I'm the only American one in this thread. |
Never said that it wasn't true. But just as many scandals have come out on the American side.
The point isn't that it is a conspiracy. The point is that the sports media, and the sports sponsors, are mostly based in the US, and as such tend to give friendlier treatment to American athletes. Nothing to do with tfp either.
