Thank you for talking about this! Big fan of NOlympics and what they’re doing. LA City Hall using $500,000 of taxpayer money for flagpoles is insane. (Source: https://x.com/julesboykoff/status/1825252072708833376?s=46)

OK, so also there's the massive double standard and hypocrisy that the US and its vassals employ regarding PEDs. US athletes are given exemptions for all sorts of drugs that legitimately help performance but evil baddies like Russia and China are either totally excluded or ruthlessly and rigorously tested prior to every event. Something like 5X more often than American and other "western" athletes.

How about a slimmed down Olympics — no breaking or skateboarding, just traditional Olympic sports like track and field, held every four years in Athens? We could restore some perspective to the occasion and give Greece a much needed economic boost at the same time!
