I think that’s what most people don’t seem to get. You see CrossFit in a meltdown about the accusations of PEDs. People who enjoy Olympic weightlifting, bodybuilding or strong man do not give one solitary f*ck, we don’t even pretend. I want to see a man clean and press a small car! I’d rather it was legal and safer.

My father knew an elite weightlifter who was also a respected lawyer. Asked about his world ranking he replied "I'm the # 8 - or the # 1 clean lifter". Says it all.
According to Wikipedia, 38 competitors (23 men, 15 women) were disqualified in weightlifting at the London Olympics, affecting 12 of the 14 weight classes. Twenty-one of those were medal winners, with several others in the top eight.
It reminds me of a joke by comedian Frankie Boyle - if all elite athletes are findings ways to dope, why not let them. As a spectator, do you want to see Usain Bolt run the 100m in 9.7 seconds or do you want to see him do it in 3 seconds?
It’s not just the 2012 Olympics. If you watch that documentary “bigger, faster, stronger” the whole history of the use of testosterone started with weight lifting. The soviets started it. Whipped all the USA in the 1960’s. Then the USA coaches learned how to do it after getting beat. That’s the whole origin of bodybuilding with steroids.
USA and UK Australia have a majority of Olympic athletes with permissions to take steroids . Where as any other competitor caught would be in great trouble. Search up their swimmers
10:13 Kim Min-jae he is clean Kim Min-jae was promoted from 8th to 2nd place and handed over the silver medal.

He never got popped
@@bougieweightlifting I would like to think that yes, but you also need to consider how taboo is getting roided in South Korea. I think you can sue people for that, since it's a form of social death or sin. You are f*cked if caught, in all ways possible.
@@jackmaisi literally 2. A swimmer and a speed skater. IIRC, Clarence’s video highlights the distinct advantage East Asian athletes have in testing for testosterone

nino pizzolato just had one of the worst pressouts i've ever seen on c&j in the olympics and they gave it to him after jury review. crazy how different stndards are
You can strip medals and shift placings all you want - we can all watch Ilya sh*t wrecking the competition on that day in history and know who the true champion is. You’ll never make him out to be a villain to me. The moments he gave us in weightlifting history will continue to inspire people for years to come and for that reason alone he is a champion and legend.
On the one hand it is true, however I sometimes wonder how many "Ilyas" were made to not show their full potential. Like this Iranian guy in Sydney who was made to simulate injury in order for Pyrros Dimas to get another gold. Because of stories like this i stopped respecting any legends.
The only thing the sports-world learned from the Tour De France Doping scandals is… that actually cleaning up your sport is only hurting the reputation. Tour De France is the cleanest sport now, but if you ask people what is the dirtiest sport everyone will say Tour De France.
Yes, Same for baseball MLB people still say this just like people think/say the entire cycling top federation, UCI or Union Cycliste Internationale is not clean when actually players in the MLB can face a lifetime black list where MLB black lists players from all other big sports leagues in USA/North Americ for using PEDS including some non steroidal pain killer drugs. Some players could switch to Football like a pitcher and play in smaller level even a backup in the NFL/starter depending on skill or play in the NBA, as few players in the MLB were dual sport in USA high school football or basketball sometimes even at the university level. Sure MLB may not be clean in rules for the sport by using grip enhancements but in terms of PED they have gone a long way from the Barry Bonds and Mark McGuire era.
About the same I’d say. Track and Field has multiple rounds of races and most likely not everyone is on dope but everyone in the Final is. Likewise with weightlifting not everyone is doping but anyone winning is on dope.
10:03 I don't know if i agree with that. So cuz a guy goes ahead of you and hits all three then you hit all three after hes ahead? Is that how that works?
immediate thought: Weightlifting. Its just "natural" to see these roided up dudes pretending to be natties lifting insane weights. All over the olympic games, peds are used (stuff to hyper focus you, give you more indurence etc.) and then a few years after a lot of athletes loose their medals. But no one cares for any of that. Tragically. Governments and athletes gain too much by winning to remove peds.
Conseco, Bonds, McGuire and Sammy Sosa would give these guys a run for the money on that Dirtiest title. That McGuire Sosa Homerun Battle was something else tho 🚀 ⚾
Gotta make a video for the women’s 2012 competition too. 15 total positive tests for PEDs across 7 weight classes. Imagine all the women that didn’t get caught. 2012 was fun to watch though. 🤘
When we cleaned in highschool, one day i tried going for a pr and i slammed the bar really hard against my balls. Told my coach im not cleaning again lmao
The 1988 100-meter men's final in Seoul definitely started the trend!! ha-ha. Only 2 athletes from the final 8 were never implicated in a doping scandal. Every other athlete had a failed doping test, including Carl Lewis, who, it has been confirmed by testers from the IOC lab, had his positive tests from the 84' Olympics covered up. If you go back into the two semifinals you can add in 2 more guys equaling 8 of the top 16. Set the standard for dirty events!!
The first compound you named was invented for swimming decades ago by the East Germans for the Olympics and used for a long time in the Olympics, do you think others haven’t been invented since then, I have a bridge for sale. You really are making crazy statements, sprinting is super dirty, all sports that require strength and speed are.
I always said that there was no issue with Lance because everyone was doping, he was still the absolute best. That was until it came out he had the little motor built into the frame, finding that out sucks.
@@echoheadxx Yeah I know but I don't know any of them, so I don't personally care about it. It's the using a motor in the bike that for me is a bit dissapointing.
weird how these people need supps for protein and yet there are vegetarians and vegans who got their shit from the food itself. does that mean you do not know how to eat to reach the goal? ... just embarrassing tbh.
Some people might not have the appetite to get (ex) 200g of protein per day from food. It's not that easy. Also, vegans extremely difficult to get enough if they are gym bros (lifting heavy).
@Grazzmazzium here (Greece) veggies/leggumes are not expensive, I think it's cheaper to eat your protein from whole foods than buy isolates. BUT... Although I can tolerate a lot of fiber (eat 50+g daily) , I find it impossible to eat 180-200g of protein from whole vegan sources. I've tried (I don't really like meat), I cannot do it. That said, I don't like drinking my calories, so, yogurt , chicken breast, egg whites are my staples for filling my macros.
@@jousis_ If you are not over 100kg natty, I doubt you need that amount. Which comes from a place that people always overestimates their protein needs... which is not true. Hence me talking the way I am.

Conseco, Bonds, McGuire and Sammy Sosa would give these guys a run for the money on that Dirtiest title. That McGuire Sosa Homerun Battle was something else tho 🚀 ⚾
Gotta make a video for the women’s 2012 competition too. 15 total positive tests for PEDs across 7 weight classes. Imagine all the women that didn’t get caught. 2012 was fun to watch though. 🤘
I’m not sure if it is weightlifting, there were some really manly looking women athletes in Track and Field and swimming in the 80’s.
DDR swimmers were notoriously juiced up,most of those women looked like men.
lack of values and honesty and sick ambition will do anything.
Lets not be naive, in every sport that heavily requires athletic performance drugs are being used at the highest level.
When we cleaned in highschool, one day i tried going for a pr and i slammed the bar really hard against my balls. Told my coach im not cleaning again lmao
What you think about powerlifting ? As far as IPF lifters ?? Top lifters
Every Olympics has more peds than the prior. Designer drugs will keep getting more difficult to test for.
The 1988 100-meter men's final in Seoul definitely started the trend!! ha-ha. Only 2 athletes from the final 8 were never implicated in a doping scandal. Every other athlete had a failed doping test, including Carl Lewis, who, it has been confirmed by testers from the IOC lab, had his positive tests from the 84' Olympics covered up. If you go back into the two semifinals you can add in 2 more guys equaling 8 of the top 16. Set the standard for dirty events!!
There was a 100m sprint final with bare dopers too lol
The first compound you named was invented for swimming decades ago by the East Germans for the Olympics and used for a long time in the Olympics, do you think others haven’t been invented since then, I have a bridge for sale. You really are making crazy statements, sprinting is super dirty, all sports that require strength and speed are.
at that point is it even cheating, if everybody is doping then no-one had an unfair advantage
I always said that there was no issue with Lance because everyone was doping, he was still the absolute best. That was until it came out he had the little motor built into the frame, finding that out sucks.
Lance also attacked anyone that correctly called him out for cheating.
@@echoheadxx Yeah I know but I don't know any of them, so I don't personally care about it. It's the using a motor in the bike that for me is a bit dissapointing.
My first choice would have been either track and field or cycling.
Olympic weightlifting is so much on technique. Makes me wonder why people take the risk when there's other more power-based sports.
They need to have a natural class like body building.that would satisfy every fan
Cycling. Forgot American Lance Armstrong?
Turinabol = "Horsemeat", StanozoLOL= "chicken"
weird how these people need supps for protein and yet there are vegetarians and vegans who got their shit from the food itself. does that mean you do not know how to eat to reach the goal? ... just embarrassing tbh.
Some people might not have the appetite to get (ex) 200g of protein per day from food.
It's not that easy.
Also, vegans extremely difficult to get enough if they are gym bros (lifting heavy).
@Grazzmazzium here (Greece) veggies/leggumes are not expensive, I think it's cheaper to eat your protein from whole foods than buy isolates.
BUT...
Although I can tolerate a lot of fiber (eat 50+g daily) , I find it impossible to eat 180-200g of protein from whole vegan sources. I've tried (I don't really like meat), I cannot do it.
That said, I don't like drinking my calories, so, yogurt , chicken breast, egg whites are my staples for filling my macros.
@@jousis_ If you are not over 100kg natty, I doubt you need that amount. Which comes from a place that people always overestimates their protein needs... which is not true. Hence me talking the way I am.
@Grazzmazzium Clarence Kennedy doing OLY lifts and is ok... so not sure what you mean. BUT that was not the thought behind it.
@@WhiteDraqon I agree. I probably don't. 200 is an upper limit for me (195cm 90-ish) while trying to recomp.
Exhibit A: Ilya's hairline.
Weightlifting is the sport in which anabolic steroids give the most advantage so yeah... absolutely just surprising the number of guys NOT caught 😂
Kinda meh when you see 8 out 14 athletes were juiced to the gills and then they have to put that work in.
If you can't test them correctly, just don't allow them to compete
Come now, every Olympic competition is roided up.
