There is a LOT of dirty money over there and I'm sure some of it has made it to the pockets of our politicians.
Not hard to get this country all out of whack with how dominant our media (including the social variety) is these days. The stuff with Facebook was pretty scary. I'm a skeptical type, so I wouldn't fall for it...but so many of FB are so gullible. People don't like the term "fake news", but there really is an abundance of misinformation, exaggerations and outright lies to sift through lately. How much of that is the doing of foreign governments like Russia, idk, but I'm sure they're involved in a decent % of it for whatever reason.
It's almost like a new form of terrorism. Fake news + gullible people = mass hysteria. Our own media feeds right into it out of greed and lack of integrity in journalism.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
