He did not ever represent the US. I don’t know why you guys keep repeating this lie when you can easily go to his website and look at his CV. He lists all of his national clients.

The writing was definitely on the wall.

One thing is for sure. JK is going to have the best lawyers in the world and they are going to scour the earth looking for damning evidence against Imane. The defense if going to be that Imane is a man, she knows she’s a man, and she knows she should not be fighting against women. Maybe that IBC test is an obvious fraud and her signature and obvious forgery. Maybe there’s nothing out there at all to cast suspicion on her. But if there is, JK’s lawyers are going to go after her like vicious attack dogs.

They’ll certainly call that boxing federation as a witness to provide the results of the testing they conducted. And they will show her signature acknowledging the test results. At that point, it would seem like the burden will be on her to prove that she’s not a man.

Everyone won the Olympics this year, except Raygun.

I’m a state employee and have to fill out COI declarations every year. My state differentiates between what it calls perceived and actual COIs. Actual COIs are more severe and require some kind of plan to eliminate or mitigate. Perceived COIs usually just require you to acknowledge that they exist. With that said, if it’s something as simple as recusing yourself from a decision that any number of alternates could handle, why not recuse yourself even if it is a perceived COI? Not doing so might technically fall in line with the rules/laws, but it sure as hell doesn’t look good.

9PM West Coast time is midnight East Coast time. I suspect they’ll run the primetime events until 8PM so it can end by the traditional 11PM news broadcasts on the East Coast.

Esports have a chance of making it into the Olympics at some point. Pick one of the games that is popular and start playing 20+ hours/week.

As one of the pioneers of breakdancing said the other day, breakdancing was never meant to be scored on an iPad.

Just give poorer countries aid. Gifting them huge stadiums, etc. is just giving them additional burdens in the long run.

10% tax on $350k income? You’ll pay between $100-150k in taxes depending on the state you live in. And that’s if you earned nothing else all year, which, sadly, is a good bet for many of these athletes.

The first Olympics used 1500 meters for whatever reason and it fit perfectly for the 1900 Paris Olympics as the French track was 500 meters per lap. It’s just been this way ever since.

Can we get a VAR on that last measurement?
