The following is a forwarding, it does not necessarily represent the 
viewpoint of this forwarder on the subject issue.  NBC announced that 
it will "inlook into/discuss" the use of drugs by Chinese athelets tonight 
(i.e. July 31, NBC did it on former East Germany last night).

Hello, Bo Xiong: 

  These days, I begin to read SCC about olympics.  Thank you for forwarding
the Chicago Tribune news to SCC for me.  The discussions there is interesting.
I am send you another article I wrote. Could you please post it to SCC, and 
without my name? I will really appreciate.

  Many thanks!!

Questions to those who watch Olympics.

1) in what sports that Chinese are good?

  Basically two. 1) diving, ping-peng, badminton, shooting, etc. These
                    are the sports traditionally (or naturally??) good by
                    oriental people. Chinese man are equally good as woman.

                 2) Woman's sport: short distance swimming, heavyweight
                    judo, weightlefting, "three irons (shot put, disc,
                    javelin)" in Track & field. The muscle strength is
                    the key of success in these sports. China becomes a
                    powerhouse in these sports in a matter of just a few
                    years.

     Got the picture? SUDDENLY, Chinese woman become strong, muscular and
bulky!! Where are the world class chinese woman sprinters, runners, jumpers,
etc, etc.? Where are chinese man?

   I guess they find some secret (or the secret everyone already knows.)

2) What happens to a Chinese who got caught of drug doping?

  Think of Ye Qiaobo. When she was caught, she was disposed by the government
and media (you know who controls it) like a garbage can. When she won the only
two medals of China in the winter Olympic, and DID NOT GOT CAUGHT, she became
a "New Long March Attacker" (front page of People's Daily some time ago).

  ..........................something more.........

   I am proud of Tan Liangde, Fu Mingxia, Wang Yifu. But I am shamed of
looking at the bodies and hearing the voices of Zhuang Yong, Lin Li, and
the so called "6 golden flowers."

  Not just to chinese athletes. I equally feel sorry for all the women
sprinters in the world. The 100 and 200 meter dash records set by FluJo
will not be broken in at least another 30 years, unless you do the same
thing.

  FluJo was never caught, but everyone knows it. Thanks to the US media,
she never got big endorsement in the US. She has to go to Japan to make
a few bucks. Poor Japanese, so easy to be cheated. (BTW, her once man-like-
voice now has returned to more like a women. Wait for a few years, you will
see the same thing happen to Zhuang Yong, and Lin Li, just be a little
bit patient.)

  Sue Chicago Tribune (or USA Today, New York Times, or the world media)?
Before you do, make sure that you call China first. Chinese Olympic Committee
will be the first to refuse to go to the court.
