forget the olypics. a single olympic equestrianist (for example) wll have benefitited from 2-5million taxpayer dollars of trainig, equipment etc at no public benefit. its a massive scam.

I don't know about equestrians (rich person sport) but this generally is not true about olympic athletes

yeah go ahead and microchip people. logistically we'd have to figure out when to start as people rise through the youth ranks. would you be able to microchip gymnasts even though they are only teenagers at the time of their peak performance?

PEDs are bad yall, equality of opportunity for all athletes

Becoming an all-star athlete is like joining the army, you forfeit some of your rights and sacrifice your body in exchange for the privilege to participate in a pageantry-draped, ritual driven expression of the dominion capital holds on the idle time of working people.

so sit down and get chipped dope fiends

communist countries loved sport, too. they also loved their systematic doping programs, USSR and east germany would've been microchiping athletes to make sure they were taking their drugs on schedule lol
