The US could have just sat down, shut up and worked hard (or doped harder silently) but no, it's in the anglo culture especially american culture to puritanically transfer your sins onto others, so in true anglo (zionist) fashion, they transferred all their sins onto Chinese people and accused Chinese of cheating, of doping, of being bad sports despite nakedly cheating and coorrupting the USADA into abetting said cheating.
And after Phelps commented about a lifetime ban?
Well, hope you have the courage of your convictions, Phelps and the rest of the whiny anglo team members; be sure to hand back all the prize money and endorsement monies as well. Given inflation, it's gonna have to be a lot more than what was originally paid out, not counting interest. Mess with the bull, get the horns.
