These Olympic Athletes Were Caught Cheating

It's a simple fact that Russia is excluded from the 2018 Winter Olympics. The Olympics are supposed to be a chance for

athletes

from around the world to show off their skills, but sometimes it's just a way for crafty stars to See what you can get away with. I don't want you to clown around. Most Olympic

cheating

scandals involve people stimulating themselves with banned substances, but this one goes a little further: at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Tony Hansen won the bronze medal in team vault, unfortunately , Tony failed a doping test, but Tony not only doped himself, he also doped his horse.

He wanted to give a little more pep to Camaro's steps, so he put some capsaicin in it. Yes, it's a chili extract, but it does more than flavor the oats. It is used as a pain reliever and is considered a banned substance by the Olympic Games, although it can help with injuries, it can also cause them. Using capsaicin on a horse's legs makes them swell, which means it hurts to hit them against obstacles, this inspires them to jump higher, but it's a cruel form of motivation. Tony's actions not only cost him his own metal but resulted in the entire Norwegian team having their metals stripped.

He has attempted to appeal the decision on numerous occasions but has been unsuccessful in sabotaging it. This situation is so outrageous that they even made a movie about it, we are talking about the now infamous attack on figure skater Nancy Kerrigan the day before the US Figure Skating Championships, an attacker tried to break her leg, which would have left unable to compete in the 1994 Olympics. Nancy was relatively lucky to end up with only severely bruised legs, but this was not just a random act and had something to do with fellow figure skater and Olympic teammate Tonya Harding, her ex-husband Jeff Gillooly and her former bodyguard Shaun Eckhart had hired Shane Stant and his uncle.

Derrick Smith to carry out the attack on Nancy, they were soon

caught

, but whether or not Tonya was involved was a hotly debated topic, especially since both women were on the same Olympic team. Tonya denied any involvement in the scheme, but she admitted that she did not inform it. Once she became aware of the incident, she negotiated a plea deal for hindering prosecution and ended up with three years of probation, a $100,000 fine, and five hundred hours of community service with her skating career. Tonya tried her luck as a professional boxer until her asthma forced her to.

She retired in hammer time when Betty Heidler was a child, was bullied for her red hair, but found that sports gave her the confidence to stand tall and began training as a high-performance athlete before retiring, her track and field event was the hammer throw and her personal best was 260 and a half feet at the 2012 Olympics. Betty was proud to take home a bronze medal for the first time, but in reality she should have received an even greater honor: medalist original gold Tatiana Lysenko from Russia. she was later disqualified for doping, this meant that a metaphorical geek from Poland was moved from silver to gold and Betty went from bronze to silver, although Betty is glad the truth came out and admits to being disappointed that she didn't have time to shine on the podium.

People love to watch figure skating during the Olympics, but few understand exactly how the event is scored. The 2014 Winter Games highlighted this when Russian athlete Adelina Sotnikova won the gold medal and the crowd was furious. Adelina managed to defeat the defending champion Kim Yana. and she became one of the youngest figure skating champions in the world, but fans believed something fishy was going on with the judges, especially since they thought Kim had given a much stronger performance. There were serious accusations that certain judges had assigned extra points to both Adelina and her. Her fellow Russian athlete, Yulia Lipnitskaya, was not only the one viewers complained about foul play, but many experts opined that Naomi Nari Nam won the silver medal at the US national championships in 1999 and said that, in In his opinion, Adelina's scores were inflated and that Kim would have been the clear winner.

Bronze medalist Ashley Wagner stated that this incident should be a wake-up call about the judging process as it currently stands and this type of upset could alienate fans forever, although Adelina was allowed to keep her medal, this suspicious situation left a bad impression on Both fans and professional figure skaters who tested some

athletes

learned the hard way that sooner or later karma comes your way. The International Olympic Committee or the IOC is committed to ensuring that people get the recognition they deserve on May 20-18. The IOC Athletes' Commission began a program to reallocate medals that had been awarded to competitors who had the benefit of substances banned on their sides thanks to advances in testing technology twenty-eight fleets vindicated their performances Spanish weightlifter Lydia Valentín was left in tears after coming within a kilo of qualifying in the top three, but it turns out that the winners svetlana pada budova avalon ayah and arenak elisha de natalia had cheated six and a half years after the competition lydia finally got the gold she deserved how stressed Kuwaiti got her personal best score in the 2012 heptathlon, but it wasn't enough for her to get the place until Tatiana Chernova and Ludmila Yossi Panko were stripped of their respective third and fourth places.

This means that Ostra now has his long-awaited bronze medal which he received after retiring from athletics winning an Olympic medal when you are done competing is pretty impressive systemic as long as there are competitions there will be people willing to do anything to get an advantage the problem of doping became so serious among Russian athletes that the IOC took action against the entire Russian Olympic Committee, essentially they were South Korea banned from participating in the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, those who competed were forced to do so under strict scrutiny and without wearing the traditional uniforms of their nation.

IOC President Thomas Bach called Russia's attempts to break the rules an unprecedented attack on the integrity of the Olympic Games and sports. and it seems that the IOC is not convinced that the Russian athletes have learned their lesson. There are serious allegations that Russian Athletics Federation officials helped high jump champion Daniel Ly Saenko avoid suspension by failing to report his location to evaluators. They have been accused of altering doping data and, as a result, are considering being banned from the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan. Yuri Gannis is the head of Russia's anti-doping agency and although he denies the charges, he believes it is unlikely his nation will be allowed to compete in the near future, instead his best hope is that individual Russian athletes will be invited. under the same severe conditions they faced in Pyeongchang.

This

cheating

scandal may not be the most recent, but we have to admit it was pretty creative. Orton y der Lane was a famous East German underdog in the 1960s and felt her experience as a mechanic contributed to her success in the sport, but it was her mechanical manipulation that ended up causing her misfortune during the 1968 Olympics. Orton was at the top of his game. and she is widely considered the best loser in the world needless to say everyone expected her to win but no one expected how she won after crossing the finish line. International Luge Association supervisor Lutz Yuans shredder ski realized something wasn't quite right when he added. a little snow into the corridor, whistled and quickly disappeared.

It turns out that Orton had illegally warmed up the runners to increase her speed since she was representing East Germany and this was during the Cold War, it was an especially scandalous incident, but wait, there are In a big twist, there were serious accusations that Lutz Ian was bribed by the Federal Republic of Germany and Austria to file false charges against Orton and the rest of the East German competitors, even today people can't agree on whether Orton cheated or whether she was groomed to endure the fall Marion Jones is an athlete who went from having the time of her life at the Olympics to having a difficult time behind bars, she was a world champion in athletics and, if that wasn't impressive enough, She also played professional basketball for the Tulsa Shock, but throughout her athletic career she was plagued by rumors that she was doping.

She was banned from participating in athletics competitions for four long years for missing a test, although she claims she was not notified of the requirement. Aside from Johnnie Cochran himself, that conviction was overturned, but the rumors persisted despite Marion's protests. She won three gold medals and two bronze medals at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, but she was unable to keep them. It turns out that Marion was guilty of doping and to make matters worse, she lied to federal agents about it, not only had she knowingly made false statements, but she was also facing charges for check fraud in addition to giving her medals. .

Marian ended up spending six months in prison for the crimes she committed. From being considered a star athlete to being exposed as a total fraud at the Olympic Games a split second can mean the difference between winning and losing this means that something as seemingly inconsequential as a suit can have a huge impact when Speedo introduced the new The LZR suit its elegant design reduced resistance in the water by 38%. It is no coincidence that at the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics 98% of medal winners and 23 of 25 record holders wore one, while this was perfectly legal at the time, it is something that is becoming increasingly popular.

A growing problem as technology continues to evolve, critics call it technological doping and say it widens the gap between wealthy and less fortunate athletes. The suits were banned from the games after 2008 and even professional swimmers like Michael Phelps approved the move at the 2018 Winter Games. Great Britain's Lissie Yarn'old won gold wearing an advanced custom-made suit designed to reduce drag into the wind and Dom Parsons of Great Britain set a record and won bronze thanks to his clever new suit. There is much debate about whether these strategic wardrobe choices are cheating or just a way to stiffen the competition.

Hearing about all these cheaters may make you doubt the validity of the Olympics, but there are still many athletes with integrity, but famous runner Usain Bolt learned. The hard way, doping can still affect you even if you were competing clean when the IOC was doing its retroactive testing using new technology. 454 samples from the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics tested positive, one of which belonged to runner Nesta Carter and resulted in the entire Jamaican team losing their gold medals in the 4 by 100 meters event, making Trinidad and Tobago the new winners despite an appeal from Nesta. Up until that point Usain had been considered a triple Olympian, meaning he had won three out of three in his career. events in three Olympic Games for a total of nine gold medals because Nesta broke the rules.

Usain ended up losing his coveted triple triple status. This also meant that Usain is the only person among six sub nine point seven nine second 100 meter runners who was not

caught

. doping, oh, and after the competition where Nesta cheated, Usain also donated fifty thousand dollars to help children affected by the Sichuan earthquake of 2008. Poor Singh did his best, but he still got shot down by a cheater.
