Julian can you read english? Did you notice The double standard I criticised? My point is you can't call one lifter a cheat when most lifters are on drugs. How do you even get that that is rationalising taking drugs?
the controversy in Montreal when Alexeev "disapeered" when it was his time to weigh in is well documented. Not his bomb out in Moscow. And my facts concerning the drug smuggling is correct too. Do you think the monatery rewards given to athletes who set records was enough to live on all year? Not for every lifter. The explanation of motives does not condone what they did. Get your facts right or shut up!
