Faster Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I am sick right now and really bored, so I decided to do a spreadsheet of doping at the Olympics. A few notes: We are all well aware of the numerous, probably multiple 100's of doping violations that have gone undetected over the past 28 editions of the games, especially in regards to Eastern Europeans, so the German, Russian and overall Eastern European results are probably considerably low-balled I have only records since 1968, a single doping violation by a Sweden that had alcohol in the blood So here is goes By sport: Weightlifting - 37 Athletics - 20 Wrestling - 6 Modern Penathlon and Volleyball - 3 Judo, Baseball, Cycling and Rowing - 2 Basketball, Aquatics, Shooting, Gymnastics, Equestrian and Boxing - 1 By country Sweden - 4 Mongolia - 2 Puerto Rico - 2 United States of America - 5 Spain - 3 Austria - 2 Iran - 1 Netherlands - 1 Bulgaria - 8 Monaco - 1 Romania - 2 Poland - 2 Czech Republic - 1 Greece - 7 Iceland - 1 Japan - 2 Algeria - 1 Lebanon - 1 Italy - 1 Finland - 1 Afghanistan - 1 Canada - 1 Hungary - 7 Australia - 1 Great Britain - 1 Russia - 5 China - 1 Lithuania - 1 Norway - 2 Armenia - 1 Germany - 2 Latvia - 1 Turkey - 1 Uzbekistan - 1 Kyrgyzstan - 1 India - 2 Ukraine - 1 Kenya - 1 Belarus - 1 Myanmar - 1 Moldova - 1 Morocco - 1 83 doping offenses Event - Doping by country Gold - Bulgaria for excellent doping in weightlifting Silver - Greece for doping across the board Bronze - Hungary for doping in weightlifting, just not as impressive as Bulgaria Event - Doping by sport Gold - Weightlifting for spectacular doping, including almost a dozen offenses in Athens alone Silver - Athletics for being second best at doping Bronze - Wrestling for no apparent reason other then you are the 3rd worst offender Event - Not getting caught by country Gold - East Germany for the spectacular Manazons Silver - Soviet Union, United States and China, we all know you did it and just don't get caught Event - not getting caught by sport Gold - Aquatics the manazons didn't get caught and saved your reputation Silver - Weightlifting definitely should be higher Bronze - Cycling yea right, 1 offenses!?!

Fox334 Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 It should be noted that for the one doping case in Equestrian it was the horse that was doped, not the rider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Rols Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 It should be noted that for the one doping case in Equestrian it was the horse that was doped, not the rider. And the rider, of course, had no idea that the beast was a doper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox334 Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 And the rider, of course, had no idea that the beast was a doper! Of coarse the rider was responsible. But the rider still didn't dope himself, he doped his competition partner. The point is that the banned substance was found in the horse. Not that the horse is responsible (that would be ridiculous).

I guess I should have put the smiley after to indicate a joke (lame or otherwise). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faster Posted April 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 It should be noted that for the one doping case in Equestrian it was the horse that was doped, not the rider. Actually that Equestrian positive was for Eric Lemaze and him popping a cocaine positive before Athens. The stats do not include none humans.

arwebb Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 What do these 'overall' figures actually measure? Is this all testing in the period of the Olympic cycles covered or simply competition testing or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
