My SIL says he is.It’s probably just him just being a dick.
She swims at the same pool as him.
She asked him herself if he was getting vaccinated.
He said he has no intention to ever be vaccinated for CV.

Can you say white privilege????Michael Andrew is under investigation for not wearing a mask in the mixed zone LOLOLOLOLOL
He told USA Today, “For me it’s pretty hard to breathe in after kind of sacrificing my body in the water so I feel like my health is a little more tied to being able to breathe than protecting what’s coming out of my mouth.”
We practice not practicing.Not really. Isn't the US usually shit in the relays because they don't practice them?
Not really. He's being a jerk, and hopefully he'll be punished for it. This has more to do with his upbringing than with his being white.Can you say white privilege????
I just have a hard time believing a POC would get very far with a similar upbringingNot really. He's being a jerk, and hopefully he'll be punished for it. This has more to do with his upbringing than with his being white.

Oh, there's plenty of athletes that nobody should look up to. If someone is happy with their results, they'll get away with whatever it is.I just have a hard time believing a POC would get very far with a similar upbringing![]()
No because apparently they are back.The US being disqualified in the Mixed 4x400 - has a certain Olympic gold medal ever been so carelessly tossed away.
One rule for some countries, another rule for the rest of us.No because apparently they are back.

U.S. Mixed 4x400m Team Reinstated After Prelims DQ
An exchange between first and second legs Elija Godwin and Lynna Irby was found to have taken place outside the exchange zone.www.nbcnewyork.com
The article is junk. It says Rylov ‘declined’ to address Murphy’s claims in one paragraph and then a few paragraphs later, it says he did give a much more elaborate answer saying that Murphy didn’t specifically name him so he wasn’t sure what response they expected out of him. I also read elsewhere that Rylov acknowledged Murphy’s right to question things after all the problems of the past.Well it had to happen eventually. Ryan Murphy accuses swimmers of doping.

Ryan Murphy creates a doping firestorm in swimming with claims that Olympic races are ‘probably not clean’
Ryan Murphy won a silver medal at the Olympics on Friday, then spent the aftermath claiming that his races, and swimming in general, were not clean.sports.yahoo.com
This is a 4x400 so being shit at baton passing isn’t so much of an issue as it is in a 4x100.
Just to show the double standards at play, Burundi’s Francine Niyonsaba who was forced to compete at 5000m due to World Athletics rulings on hyperandrogenist female athletes was disqualified for a Lane infringement. In a 5000m race.
The 5000m doesn't have a testosterone rule. It's only certain distances where certain athletes with naturally high testosterone do well.Can you explain a little more about what this means? I know what the (complete trash, absolute bs) hyperandrogrogenist rules were and they need to be abolished yesterday, but how did that result in her being forced to compete at 5000m? Can anyone point me to an article? For some reason I had thought she just wasn’t allowed to compete.
The rules only apply to distances between 400m and a mile, ostensibly because that's where the athletes have the greatest advantage (I wouldn't know). So the women affected can compete in longer or shorter distances - which of course are not necessarily their forte.Can you explain a little more about what this means?

And her statement is here. It absolutely sucks that this happened to her.![]()
Francine Niyonsaba runs Olympic time after testosterone rule forced switch
Francine Niyonsaba, the Olympic 800m silver medalist who can'tt race that event without testosterone-suppressing measures, ran an Olympic 5000m qualifier.olympics.nbcsports.com
They make all the athletes do meth for a few months & then take their photo - happens every four (or five) years.Why do the athlete profile pics look like mugshots?![]()
The US gets disqualified in the 4x100 in athletics a lot because they are not used to racing as a team. Getting disqualified in the 4x400 is really rare as right handovers aren’t as important.Ohhhhh, the US got DQed in a dry land relay? I thought they got DQed in a wet relay. This matters less to me now.
(I dunno why, but I’ve never followed athletics)
You goober.The US gets disqualified in the 4x100 in athletics a lot because they are not used to racing as a team. Getting disqualified in the 4x400 is really rare as right handovers aren’t as important.
PS : The US is really good at athletics.![]()
