FUCK, there is bath salts in the Olympics now

So they basically release ammonia gas which you end up smelling, waking you the fuck up.

is this the first time you've ever heard of smelling salts? never watched boxing or football?

7/31/2012 10:57:07 PM

or any other sport?

7/31/2012 11:03:15 PM

i had only seen smelling salts used on people who were unconscious / concussed / dazed but i had damn sure heard of them

fuck, have you never examined the contents of a first aid kit?

[Edited on July 31, 2012 at 11:08 PM. Reason : ammonia inhalant motherfucker]

7/31/2012 11:03:27 PM

we had a first aid kit growing up, and i have one now.

no smelling salts.

look, some of you people are so parochial... omf it might just be an american/european thing. why do you assume they are in all first aid kits sold around the world. do you know gentian violet? was it in your first aid kit?

7/31/2012 11:08:03 PM

um so that bitch just killed the shit out of that

7/31/2012 11:10:35 PM

7/31/2012 11:10:38 PM

i guess i'm spoiled by american first aid kits not containing carcinogenic antibiotics like gentian violet

7/31/2012 11:10:58 PM

7/31/2012 11:12:09 PM

hey, trap, you ever heard of band-aids?

7/31/2012 11:20:19 PM

Congrats on the selective reading of the "Precautions" section of the wikipedia entry. Perhaps you can also do some selective reading (in which direction?) of the "Risks" section of in the wikipedia entry of Smelling Salts (link above).

Pretty much every drug is harmful in mega doses in mice.

7/31/2012 11:30:38 PM

whatever the fuck you are talking about, did they know those risks in the 70s? cuz that's when i grew up... i am not 5, you know.

7/31/2012 11:31:08 PM

doesnt matter though, USA #1 in swimming!

These camps have been known to the outside world for a few years now.

Anyway, some people are saying instead of simple drug doping, it my be GENETIC DOPING.

I must say though, perhaps just 5 to 10% of the people currently shouting DRUGS would be doing the shouting if she was American or Western European. But if USSRian, Eastern European, or Chinese, the automatic response is DRUGS.

IOW, people are biased and they don't even know it. (no surprises there)

american athletes go to no right to talk about doping

I've seen some butch ass male-looking female Olympians from the USSR and Germany...never from the USA...its not cultural bias, its women looking like the incredible hulk

play on names

russian gymnasts:

aliya mustafina- like the lion king

victoria komova. this girl is so hot i see her and im like, victoria...kom ova.

ye shiwen- people accuse her of doping cause ye...shewin

"aliya mustafina"

i mentioned her in the cute chicks thread shes sexy as fuck

8/1/2012 12:13:18 AM

The fact that she finished with enough time to hit the wall & turn around to watch everyone else finish AND the fact that she swam a faster time than the men's gold winner.... Would make me suspicious no matter the country of origin. Just happens to be China. I'd suspect nanners even if we had won the event.

8/1/2012 12:45:06 AM

Quote :

"the fact that she swam a faster time than the men's gold winner"

That HAS never happened in swimming or running in human history and WILL NEVER happen. (unless at some time in the future women's and men's roles in society are completely reversed)

You mean the last 50 m of the 400 m race, which she swam all of 0.17 seconds faster than Lochte? In the race she was still 23 seconds slower than him.

LEARN your facts before you start throwing around wild accusations. You run, right? What if people accused you of doping without knowing the facts?

I mean, you posted the link to the brutal sports camps, right? So why suspect drugs automatically? It is those camps. She said she has been training for 5 hrs a day for 9 years. I bet most of the other adult swimmers didn't start training at the age of 7. The younger you start, the better results you get.

Quote :

"The fact that she finished with enough time to hit the wall & turn around to watch everyone else finish "

I have seen many races where that would be possible if they cared to do it. In fact, I have seen people do it.

Quote :

"I've seen some butch ass male-looking female Olympians from the USSR and Germany...never from the USA"

That's because of the Communist era sports gulags where they would tie them down from infancy and feed them bull milk till then turned 14, and then let them loose on the world at said age and bag all the medals.

China is doing that now. Link on this very page.
