the americans were so highly principled(!) that they never let go of a chance to blame the eastern block of doping. now the shoe is on the other foot. only a few are admitting ti taking dopes. there are many who have been taking but slyly and not been tested are the dopes have been hidden by labs like balco.with their superior technology it is not difficult. even carl lewis' record was not blemish less. florence was an openly admitted doper who won 2 gold medals. just look at the bulging muscles at such an early age of so many athletes and find a rational logic before allowing any one to participate in events. USA is denying other countries their rightful medals by this deceitful process
