these athletes are not imports. please check your history. it is amnesty after the colonial rule. closer to home would be like having the US granting citizenship to all the citizen of philippines (up to that point) when the US left. it is not a bad policy -- look at the french soccer team.
about cheating, a fraction of the athlete will cheat if money and fame are involved, and has nothing to do with nationality or race or being american.
firstly the amount of imports into all their sports teams this implies France have come under pressure to do with the number of imports in their sports teams, don't know why history is important here as it is something that is discussed today.
and now that they have such an amount of athletes cheating
both remarks do have relevance however if not a single athlete who has tested positive for drugs was born out of France then I suppose maybe studying French history would maybe necessitate it for us to study whether all of these athletes families are from families granted amnesty after colonial rule as you claim.
