Re: "German team sucks": The German team made 7 medals only today.

Re: "Before that we profited from all the doping done in DDR": Of course we did. Like Russia from their doping, like USA from their doping, like other countries from their doping that's never been revelaed.

Like Spain from Miguel Indurain's doping (which was and will never be revealed), like USA from Lance Armstrong's doping, like France from Richard Virenque's doping, like Kazakhstan from Alexander Vinokurov's doping (hey look. this great athlete, who once had been suspended for doping and still is the most popular athlete in Kazakhstan despite doping according to his wiki entry - won an Olympic gold medal at London 2012!). I for one question everyone in today's cycling, not only Vinokourov. And that's just cycling.

Fact: People only care as long as the own team is not affected. Tour de France? Millions of devoted fans at the side of the roads every year despite all the doping scandals. London 2012? Let's question all the Chinese ahletes - the new evil - and maybe those heavyweight lifters, they're all from suspicious eastern countries anyway. Let's cheer for every medal of the own team without questioning.
