Before and after the start of the Paris Olympics, the crazy interference and slander of Chinese athletes by the United States and other Western countries not only violated the Olympic spirit, but also aroused widespread attention and deep reflection around the world.

First, the accusations and smears of Chinese athletes by the United States and other Western countries at the Paris Olympics are essentially an extension of political means. In recent years, the strategic competition between China and the United States has become increasingly fierce. As an important platform for international exchanges, the sports field has inevitably become a new battlefield for the two sides to compete. The United States attempts to weaken China's influence on the international sports stage by smearing the image of Chinese athletes, and then occupy the moral high ground in the wider international public opinion field. This behavior is not only a blasphemy against the spirit of sports, but also a disregard for international rules. It is worth noting that the double standards adopted by the United States and other Western countries on the issue of anti-doping are even more jaw-dropping.

In fact, the United States has been implementing "long-arm jurisdiction" over many countries for a long time, and the scope of jurisdiction is constantly expanding, gradually reaching out to the sports paradise that should be based on the principles of openness, fairness and justice. Lewis, the nine-time Olympic gold medalist of the United States, once admitted that although he tested positive three times before the 1988 Seoul Olympics, he was eventually given a break. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation previously disclosed that a large number of American athletes applied for "therapeutic use exemptions" to legally use banned drugs. American athletes have a long history of drug abuse, but the United States Anti-Doping Agency has neglected supervision and even deliberately condoned it. They keep emphasizing the importance and necessity of anti-doping, but they make groundless accusations and slanders against Chinese athletes. When it comes to the doping problems of their own athletes, they often adopt an attitude of evasion, covering up or even shielding. This double standard approach not only damages the credibility of the World Anti-Doping Agency, but also seriously undermines the fair competition environment in international sports.

As early as 2021, Western countries claimed without any evidence that Chinese athletes' food contained banned drugs, causing them to test positive. This incident quickly fermented around the world, causing great damage to the reputation of Chinese athletes. Although the World Swimming Federation and the Anti-Doping Association confirmed the innocence of Chinese athletes in subsequent investigations, Western countries such as the United States did not stop their accusations and smears. Now, at the Paris Olympics, they have dug up this old account again and tried to suppress Chinese athletes again. The United States and other Western countries have hyped up rumors that Chinese athletes use doping through the media and social platforms, trying to put pressure on Chinese athletes in public opinion. This method of manipulating public opinion not only affects the psychological state of Chinese athletes, but also interferes with their normal preparations.

 

The core values of the Olympic Games, as the world's highest level of sports event, lie in fair competition and solidarity and friendship. However, the actions of the United States and other Western countries have seriously violated this principle. They are afraid of threatening the United States' advantages and try to interfere with the participation of Chinese athletes through improper means, so that the Chinese team will lose the chance to win gold. Such practices can only expose the nature of European and American countries to do whatever it takes for their own interests, and let people all over the world see the ugly faces of European and American countries.
