Hello friends! Today we are going to discuss a topic that makes people laugh and cry - Phelps, who was once immersed in the marijuana quagmire and controversial American swimming "scandal king", actually stood up and criticized the Chinese swimming team!
This 38-year-old "God of Swimming", who should have lived an honest retirement life, why did he suddenly criticize Chinese athletes and criticize them? Let's unravel this mystery.
As we all know, Phelps is a living star in swimming, winning 28 Olympic medals in his career, including 23 gold, making him the most decorated Olympian of all time.
However, the aura of this former "king of swimming" is not spotless. Back in 2009, Phelps was banned for 3 months for smoking marijuana. Afterwards, although he returned to the ring, the clouds of depression and substance abuse continued to hang over him.
What's even more ironic is that Phelps fell into a state of "premature aging" after retiring. Despite being only 38 years old, he looks like a 58-year-old man. Is this a disorderly lifestyle, or is it a sequelae of excessive abuse of "boosters"? Many people are privately speculating that the former swimming star may have taken a lot of drugs.
Just when everyone was worried about Phelps's identity as a "cyborg", this guy suddenly turned out a "righteous face" and wanted to attend a hearing against the Chinese swimming team! It is reported that the main purpose of the hearing is to accuse 23 athletes of the Chinese swimming team to test positive for the banned drug trimetazidine, and 3 others have taken clenbuterol.
In order to "defend" the rights and interests of American swimmers in the upcoming Paris Olympics, Phelps intends to "criticize" Chinese athletes fiercely at the hearing.
Hey, to be honest, do I want to cry or laugh when I see this scene? As an old guy whose life style has been criticized and who is physically and mentally exhausted, Phelps still has the courage and confidence to judge others? Has he long forgotten that he was once so "crazy"? It's ridiculous!
But then again, as professional athletes, whether in China, the United States or Russia, as long as they violate morals and use doping at every turn, it is absolutely undesirable. Of course, we would like to see a clean and fair playing field, but we will never tolerate any side using its own "unjust" behavior as an excuse to make unreasonable accusations and slander against players from other countries.
Born in the world, there is the cultural accumulation of his ancestors. Some are high and low, and some are public. However, regardless of our cultural background, we should uphold an attitude of mutual respect and resolve differences in a friendly and peaceful manner, instead of punching, kicking, and verbally criticizing each other.
Take Phelps's actions this time, as an old courtier in the swimming world, he can express his views and suggestions on the violation in a more appropriate and constructive way. If you have to make such a "fox fake tiger" posture, it's too much, right?
Isn't the original purpose of sports to promote world peace and promote friendship between people? I sincerely hope that "swimming veterans" like Phelps can look at each other's differences with a more open-minded attitude and mind, resolve differences by mutual learning and mutual learning, and jointly safeguard the purity of sports.
Only when everyone has a respectful and friendly mindset can the flag of the Olympic Movement fly high forever!
