Look at all the top UFC guys in the present and also in the past. Most are American. It seems to be the same in boxing. Why is this?
It seems in general that USA produces better athletes in most sports. Is it because the US funds athletes more than other countries? I mean the only other country that really produces any good fighters is Brazil and it has come to light that most Brazilian fighters failed USADA testing.
Why is it that most other countries can’t really reach the standard of skills and toughness that USA fighters have? Will it ever change? It would be nice if other countries could produce fighters who could keep up with the American guys.
TL;DR - Because that's how sports work, this is a sports forum. We focus on Cerrone's nice performance last night, although early stoppage, and we stop right there, scratch politics.
You're so naive... You really think USADA can catch any sort of steroid in your body, right? And even if they could, why would they go for it? What do they earn? The basic question is: "
What's more important to a govt: Fairness in sports or being the best at everything?" (And earning money from merchandising/stuff?)
5 years ago authorities unfold a russian federal program for roiding their athletes,
only possible due to a whistleblower pro athlete, now, should USA govt
even though they intercept internet traffic from all over the world (allied military/authorities included) be so concerned about PEDs? Yes, but only from others. That's the rule worldwide.
If you ever tried to use a cheat on some online game (in my case Team Fortress 2) you'll see that online cheating forum even take the time to show you how to cheat without getting caught, the cheating software made per se include an option to miss every now and then.
How come that awesome genetics only affects pro athletes, not the average joe, who is usually a fat plump when compared to his <any other place in the world> version? (Not trying to say americans are naturally fat, just not naturally slim)
Don't get me wrong, all countries either do it or want to, USA only has the biggest number of strings to pull.
