Subject: China will find a way to poison/artificially dope foreign athletes
Nanheyangrouchuan    2/27/2008 2:23:42 AM
Yes, many foreign athletes in China have experienced a little Sun Zi for themselves when they experience horrible digestive problems on the day of their competition against naturally superior Chinese athletes (with Chinese officials to boot). Add to that the potential for steroids to be added to athletes' food in the Olympic village so they all get banned and shamed for doping (especially US, Latino and European boxers and black and Russian track athletes, Aussie/US/Canadian swimmers, etc). The foreign teams were going to bring their own food, but the Chinese Olympic planners, with the full support of the IOC/UN losers, has found a way to make sure that the world's best are either too sick to compete or driven out of the Olympic village in roided shame. "http://www.shanghaidaily.com/sp/article/2008/200802/20080222/article_349596.htm" Food ban for Games athletes 2008-2-22 Change font size: -- Advertisement -- Foreign athletes will be prohibited from taking their own food into the Beijing Olympic Games Village in order to ensure food security, Olympic officials said yesterday. Outlining food safety rules for the Games, Kang Yi, catering chief of the Beijing Olympics organizing committee, said the rule complied with standard international practice. "Foods are banned mainly out of safety concerns, and beverages are not allowed in the Olympic village to protect sponsors' rights," she said. Xiang Ping, deputy director of Games services department, said while athletes could not take their own prepared food to the athletes village, medicines ''will be treated differently.'' "Athletes who have long taken certain kinds of medicines should first report the medicines via the designated personnel of their respective countries and then might be able to take the medicines to Beijing," said Xiang. The comments follow reports that the United States delegation was planning to set up a training camp outside the Olympic Games Village where the athletes could prepare their own food. Xiang said she had received no formal notification of the plan, and added it was unnecessary for foreign teams to bring their own food. "There is no need to bring prepared food on the part of athletes as there is a great variety of food to meet everybody's needs at the athletes village," said Xiang. Tang Yunhua, spokeswoman of the Municipal Office for Food Safety, said food standards for the Beijing Games were stringent. Xinhua

Nan, looks like the Americans are going to just set it up anyways, right outside "the village"...

Nice, we should totally invite all of the other countries to join us in our little food tent... maybe we'll even see some Chinese ahtletes in there too... then we can get CNN and BBC to interview them. "While you're at it why don't you just  give me a nice paper cut and pour lemon juice on it?" - Billy Crystal as Miracle Max in The Princes Bride

I expect the Chinese government will do anything necessary to ensure that China ends up with the highest medal tally. This includes messing with the food supply to ensure that foreign competitors can't compete because they're ill.

I wouldn't put it past them, but I think the Beijing air will do the trick without any need for nefarious food poisoning.

I have first hand knowledge of this problem after meeting members of the US women's soccer team when they played some tourneys in Shanghai in 2003.  They had no digestive problems up until the night before playing China.  All of a sudden they are all downing kaopectate.

Having been on a visit, I can say that Beijing air is polluted. But not that polluted, and everyone is equally affected by air pollution. The addition of extra ingredients to food (guaranteed to cause stomach upsets) can be confined only to non-Chinese athletes with a serious chance of winning.
