A bizarre string of incidents is now taking place around the Paris Olympics, which stretches from drug-using athletes, to drug-laced hamburgers, and now into global conspiracies. This began as doping accusations against Chinese swimmers. Then it started to focus on the long history of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) using drugs to help win the Games. And now, the CCP has come out with its counter-narrative. The culprit, they say, is hamburgers. And the CCP is now pushing a broader conspiracy of tainted food and hamburgers from the West carrying drugs that are making their athletes test positive for drugs. The bizarre string of incidents is now bringing attention to Chinese labs conducting the tests for doping scandals, whether these are reliable, and ironically even tying into domestic scandals in China around people losing trust in tainted food. We’ll discuss in this episode of Crossroads.
