Before PEDS/EPO the blacks were not so dominant. Ever seen a picture of Frank Shorter losing to an African? There are none!. Or Jim Ryun (except for that one time at high altitude). Same for John Walker and Seb Coe. And then they came with their PEDS.
Hispanics are the beat hitters in baseball and the best pitchers are your white boys.
The great black hope is done in golf. Pole vault, hockey sorry liberals. Quarterback, please. Field goal kickers and punters.
Soccer means Germany, Hispanics from South America.

Russians are famous for their deadpan sarcasm.
Watch this first-hand opinion by a black guy:
Russia actually does pretty well on the World stage so not where this is coming from.

Are you sure about that?
I think one could field a pretty good football team consisting of white players only.
The two finalists in the recent football world cup (Germany and Argentina) fielded mainly white players
Manchester United have paid out £145 million for 5 players in the recent transfer market - none of them black
The two most expensive players in the Real Madrid team are Renaldo and Bale, £80million and £77 million respectively, neither of them black.
Barcelona supposedly have the best player in the world: Messi, and have just paid out £75 million for Suarez - neither of them black.
And that’s just off the top of my head - no doubt I could find many more examples if I dug further.

"I know it's hard for you white boys to accept,but the black man is simply
a superior athlete.White folks have a lot of good attributes but athletic
ability is not one of them.You are good in the water,on land you suck.
Even with all the withdrawals,the best a white male could muster was
7th place.At the conclusion of these championships,white women as
always will have outperformed white males,winning more medals.Truth
is,the white females pound for pound are much better athletes than the
white males as they do not have the hang ups and insecurities that
plague white males."

"Athletics track is the purest form of any sports.Just you and the elements.
Whites say they are good at rowing,archery,ice hockey.These are club
recreational sports that outside of a few countries,the rest of the world
couldn't care about.As for swimming,the Asians are beginning to make
inroads and will eventually surpass whites as they have done in diving.
And heaven helps whites if blacks ever take swimming seriously.A
Chinese sports official when asked why the Chinese invest so heavily
in aquatic sports,said they avoid sports that interest blacks because
they know they have no chance but are confident they can compete
against and beat whites.The Chinese have no illusions."

superior abilities assert and dominate those sports."

Has anyone delved into the Russian women vs men phenomenom?
Why would a country have good athletes of one gender, but not another? In t/f, you see plenty of good athletes of both genders from U.S., Grt. Britain, Jamaica, Ethiopia and Kenya (despite likely gender obstacles). What gives with Russia?

Correction, GB never brought in Black athletes to win medals, their Black athletes are citizens either by birth, parentage or chose to become citizens for purposes other than running. Why would any country want an athlete representing them who does not embrace the culture and the values of that country? National pride is about feeling that an athlete is one of us.
Btw, Russia does not need Black athletes, if they can produce jumpers, they can produce sprinters.
Quoting TrackCoach, "Btw, Russia does not need Black athletes, if they can produce jumpers, they can produce sprinters."
I'm not so sure of this. At face value, it seems like it should be true, but I remember seeing an interview with Carl Lewis that makes me think otherwise. Lewis said that if it were so easy to go from sprinting to jumping then you'd see a bunch of athletes doing it. Jumping to sprinting is the opposite direction, but it makes me wonder.
As far as Russia getting black athletes goes, one thing I always loved about Russia at international competitions is that you were ALMOST always guaranteed to have Russians competing for Russia (Viktor Han being a rarity). No Abeba Aregawis, no Mo Farahs, no Tesfaye Homiyus, no Sifan Hasans, and even though I have crazy respect for him no Bernard Lagats. In other words, Russian athletes are actually a representation of not only Russian-born individuals, but more deeply, of Russian blood. Russia is currently like a bastion of hope to see a country truly represent itself. I wish more countries would do the same. If Russia gets black athletes, then all that is gone, and they're just like everybody else. To closely paraphrase Tim Hutchings, with like 7 out of 9 athletes in a race born in Africa, it ceases to be a world championships for my money.
Russia needs to be patient. America is slowly eroding the gap between east-Africans and non-east-Africans in middle-distance- and distance-running (except perhaps the marathon). There's no reason why Russia can't do the same.
Russian men have more professional sports options. Also drugs don't work as well on men. Soccer drains a huge pool of potential track stars in Europe. While I don't see many sprinters in soccer, I do see a lot of middle distance talent.

where would a certain athlete be without peds

WHERE did you get those peds.

intelligense is where it is at
i can find similar athlete in most nations if start young enough and seriously.
physicality is not what society should be about.
these kids that are doing track in europe are largely
not doing it
seriously , where other athletes are doing it
to within an inch from birth nearly .
also
not to mention basics as a track ,how to time and measure events . security and stability in ones own country
and constant supply of quality food .
not to mention organising a track meet .
HAVE A NICE DAY.............
Diversity is what keeps the United States of America united.

They are trying to turn Russia into a multicultural sewer like the USA. Typical Jewish strategy to fill up Europe with Negroes and Asians.
Diversity because people want to be Americans. Trust me diversity is why many nations are failed states. Look at all the wars going on diversity isn't these countries strength.
