Spain seem to ruin a lot of sports I like so I hope they brutally lose all their games and crash out of their group.

Imagine if Nadal played for the SMNT, that would be the most doped team physically possible.

is there a spanish athlete that isn't more doped up than most pro wrestlers

the answer is no

I don't think Spanish motorcyclists are doped, they just benefit from government funding. They are definitely ruining that sport too.

"government funding" was how the GDR got good at women's swimming, too

Repsol and Spain spend millions of dollars funding Spanish riders, and an entire national series that races to Moto2 rules, which gives them a massive advantage for rider development. The promotion company that runs MotoGP is also Spanish, which is bad. Meanwhile young British riders have to race in like, British Superbike or something else that doesn't prepare them at all for the Moto2 and MotoGP bikes. It's a bad situation unless you are Spanish.



Ugh. Just ugh. I'm beginning to think they really are doped.

Yeah, not to continue tennis chat in the football forum, but I think the average age of ATP tournament winners has been climbing and climbing- and this is with slower courts that you'd think would suit more athletic, young players with more stamina than the older (non-doped) ones. It's weird to think that the French Open was once a showcase for youth.

I love tennis, but watching it now is just an exercise in laughing at the anonymous Spainards who get eliminated, and getting really depressed when Kei Nishikori gets injured.

edit: RIP
