It's like racing formula 1 vs. Nascar. Each sport has it's rules. I
hope someday for an unlimited transhumanist olympics along side the
regular one for non-enhanced humans (so long as we have any of
those)... but to assume that everyone should compete on a level
playing field is what sports should provide. Since they had rules, and
the East Germans broke those rules, they cheated. Simple. You didn't
address the main issue, being that it was communist propaganda.

What's going on in Russia today is a very weird form of capitalism. I
don't know enough about what's going on there to comment
intelligently, but I know enough to see that it is pretty messy. Lots
of organized crime. How does anarchy address organized crime? Sort of
like in modern Russia? If so, then no thanks. :-)
