Scott better close his social media down or cop the wrath of chinese “fans”
Be interesting what FINA does, rebuked Horton for refusing to go on podium. Would have thought that was a warning to everyone else.
 
Scott is from Glasgow. Definitely not English.

I feel sorry for the other swimmers on the podium. The photographs of their big moments are likely to be remembered by the protests of others rather than their fantastic achievements.

so glad to see athletes taking a stand against dopers cause the governing bodies dont seem to want to do anything about it.
i wish something similar would happen in athletics.

My sentiments precisely. It's a pity that athletes have to take matters into their own hands after being let down by gutless authorities. One of these days world sport may decide to take a solid stance on the drugs issue.

While I admire the sentiment of both athletes, will they make a stand against athletes from their own nation who've been banned for doping offences or only when it suits them?
Unfortunately, I don't think they will protest against fellow countrymen. There is abit of a Adam Goodes feel about this topic. Goodes was seen as a flog and instigator as well.
 
The media are pansies

Fancy that when the dopers are not Australian they go in hard. But if its Warnie or a team wide epidemic then it's

Yep if Mack wants to be taken seriously he needs to go all in on his Aussie teammate.
I don't blame Mack in this situation. He's not involved in any way, shape or form. However you are correct, if you're going to make a stand, make it all encompassing, not just target a Chinese athlete.

If he knew about yes but if he didnt no


If he knew about it he is a dickhead of the highest order.!

It didn't matter if he didn't: have some dignity, just shut up and don't say anything.
 
Shayna Jack's statement

Says she tested positive for ligandrol, which is an experimental selective androgen receptor modulator (and therefore works like a more selective anabolic steroid), and doesn't know how she tested positive for it. Only a matter of time before she claims it was a tainted supplement
 
I doubt they would do this if they thought that Yang was otherwise a nice/pleasant guy.

Scott is from Glasgow. Definitely not British.

I assume you mean 'definitely not English', because Glasgow is, by definition, part of Britain.

failed the IQ test, unfortunately. Bad luck she'll be back for the next olympics i guess.

As a swimmer myself, good on him. I know im late to this but Sun Yang is a drug cheat and shouldn't be allowed to swim anyways because he is currently under-investigation. Sun Yang even told the guy "Im the winner, your a loser" which should land him a fine but because he is going "so good" right now of course he'll get away with it. Surely something a punishment like the Essendon drug scandal should happen to him
 
Is Mack competing against Shayna? No then how is he supposed to make a stand, Yang is his direct competition not bloody Shayna ffs.
Call her a drug cheat, like he did with Yang? It's highly likely her ban will be significantly longer than what Sun has ever served....
 
If he's going to pot Yang

He should also take a look in his own backyard.
Despite always talking of a 'team' swimming is a completely 100% individual sport. She's a girl competing in different events, she's not in his backyard.

Still representing the same country in a team environment "Australian swim team".

But sure ruining Australia's fair play reputation in favour of being known as cheats ala Essendon and the Australian men's cricket team is a-ok.
