@siegecrossbow Sir in fairness to the Indians , the same thing happen here during the Marcos era, Cory Aquino administration and that of his son Noynoy Aquino. Usually a wall is built with colorful design to mask the ghetto, to impress the visitor which is our creditor so that the money flow will continue.
in fairness to his excellencies Mr Modi and Mr. Marcos, the practice of building a false front to hide poverty that is officially denied is of great antiquity and hallowed amongst would be autocrats who wants to claim popularist progressive credentials. It has a name - Potemkin village - In honor of a 18th Russian minister who was a more recent luminary of this art.

To also be fair, potemkin village was enthusiastically and successfully practiced by China under Mao, in USSR under Stalin, and attempted to be practiced in the US under trump, the later with his customary bombast but also his customary lack of skill, tact, and success.

Is this true? It is all over Indian Media.

China's weightlifting team is the most tested them in the world with I believe 600 WADA doping tests last year, all of which were negative. China hasn't had a doping case in over 10 years. On top of WADA testing, the Chinese test their athletes again to ensure all negatives before send off to the Olympics.

The report simply says that Hou will be tested by the doping authorities in Tokyo, which is true for every athlete who wins a medal and then true again for many athletes who did not win anything but will be pulled at random. The article duly notes that. The Indian woman will be tested too for her silver and it would be hilarious if she ended up failing instead.

Also, the "rumors" were based on the twitter tweet of a person who is cartoonishly anti-China with no position to either the IOC (olympics), WADA (international drug testing), or IWF (weightlifting association). Hearing him make this rumor is like hearing the pillow guy say Trump will be president again this August.

Indians make things up as usual because they cannot handle reality. For real weightlifting news including doping cases, go to IWF.net doping sanctions.

It is a Media warfare against a Chinese Athlete from the Indian Media.
China should respond accordingly.
This is Indian desperate garbage as usual. Responding lowers yourself to that level. China is the only country that the US worries about at the Olympics. India well... basically going and not going have the same result. China has no time or need to dirty itself with them.
