    Because Lithuania swimming doesn't have a history of corruption like china swimming.

    There're this kind of human being who couldn't evolved in the past one or two centuries. It is within their genes. That gene is called prejudice.

    Samfisher stole from his neighbor five years ago.

    Now the neighbor was killed last night.

    People suspect Samfisher did it. What do you think, a legit accusation, or just libel?

    Do you know this is a 400M swimming in water right? It's not running. They have to swim 8 times the length of the 50M pool. Chances of shaving off .5 or 1 sec per length isn't unreasonable.

    congrats to our womens gymnastics team.. Russia had some huge mistakes on floor that cost them a shot at gold.. The rest of the field was a tier below this time.

    Sorry but everyone is doubting Ruta Meilutyte to be clean, all experts and commentators are talking about it. Don't reduce this to China or prejudice.

    So you were suspicious of Stephanie Rice, who improved her personal best for SIX seconds right before the Beijing Olympics. Oh BTW, she's NOT Chinese.

    In other news, Missy Franklin won gold only 13 minutes after her exhausting 200M Freestyle semi, truly "unbelievable".

    The 15-year old sensation Ruta Meilutyte, before she won the gold in her first international competition yesterday, was ranked 14th in the world. Another "incredible" story.

    1968 Olympics Long Jump

    Bob Beamon 8.9 m
    Klaus Beer 8.19 m
    Ralph Boston 8.16 m

    Did they have performance enhancing drugs in 1968? A lot of records were broken in the 1968 games because of the high altitude. But Beamon jumped well over two feet longer than his closest competitor.
