Wasn't there only two places bidding for the 2028 olympics; Paris and LA? I read somewhere that the IOC decided to award the 2028 and 2032 olympics to them, to put off the possible embarrassment of having no one put in a bid for the summer olympics in a few years.

they were both finalists for 2024, that means 2024's going to paris

it's embarrassing as is that 2022 is going to beijing

Business as usual doesn't seem particularly terrifying. Also Bolt probably got around a few tests from some speculative stuff I've read that maybe we shouldn't pay attention to? Or we should and just assume everyone's doping.

I pretty much think everyone's doping.

the only source of goodwill is leaving, so yeah it's back to business as usual

any talk of everyone doping leads me back to this
