You should keep an eye on the next contest to make sure no one shows up after getting plastic surgery.

I'm just too lazy to look for pictures and come up with profiles.

It's funny how a couple of my athletes, whom I invested a lot in, got disqualified in the very first competition. We could have had a good chance of taking 4th place, or even 3rd... But 3rd place is already a stretch, of course. Ples, congratulations on the victory!

and I’ve already found some pictures.

The reason for this is that we don't have any international sports organization that would regulate these issues.

Actually, I think it makes sense. The presumption of innocence: if someone is caught doping before the last competition, you can't be 100% sure that they were doping before that as well. Maybe they only decided to "try it" towards the end. Although that's silly, of course, and quite naive, but... you can't prove it.

If someone is caught doping before the last competition, you can't be 100% sure that they were doping before that as well.

This is possible if they invent a hypothetical "instant" doping method – take it and go. :smile04:
Otherwise, they don't find the doping itself, but rather the traces of its breakdown. Otherwise, they would find it in 100% of cases while it's still in the body.

The Quasardastan national team expresses gratitude to the tournament organizers and their opponents. Upon returning home, each athlete receives congratulations from Richard Lazhenhedzh, an apartment in an elite district of Hramia, and a personal car. Over the next three months, they all disappear under mysterious circumstances; one dies, presumably from a drug overdose; the second is found hanged in his home, and suicide is determined. Approximately the same fate befalls some of the country's wealthy residents. Two of Quazard's personal bodyguards, who have been his most loyal guards for many years, are simultaneously hospitalized with symptoms of severe food poisoning. Richard Lazhenhedzh promises to personally ensure the safety of the sick and allocate the best fighters to guard the dictator, whose condition has unexpectedly deteriorated sharply in recent days. The possibility of placing Quazard in an artificial coma is being discussed.

This is possible if they invent a hypothetical "instant" doping method – take it and you're good to go.

No, I was rather thinking about doping being used during training. Strictly speaking, there's no guarantee that an athlete took doping before the competition, and not during training throughout the competition period, which also takes place. Although that would be stupid and wouldn't have time to take effect, but...

And in reality, they don't find the doping itself, but traces of its breakdown. Otherwise, they would find it in 100% of cases while it's still in the body.

Well, that does complicate this logic a bit.

I’ve even stopped being surprised. The rate of unexpected deaths is increasing due to everything imaginable.

Allowed overweight people not to lose weight. civil rights 43 -> 44 They are mocking me. What else should I do for them to improve? :confused: There are no advantages to this answer option; health -2. Although, I lied, there is one advantage. Happiness +1. Now I share first place with Plesen.

fat and happy

They're mocking me. What else do I need to do for them to improve?

- Let's ban beauty pageants!
- No, we won't do that; we'll leave things as they are.
Life expectancy in the country has decreased sharply.

Ugly people started committing suicide more often because they see beautiful people on TV all the time. Or maybe they just didn't stop showing beautiful people.

That was exactly the argument I made to Revan in a private message.

By the way, Medj, a high level of personal freedoms isn't necessarily a good thing. At its minimum, it's when the state has cameras in your bedroom, for example, or when you're taken in for questioning just because you didn't look at someone the right way. When it's in the middle, that's normal; it can be seen as people not being oppressed (at least, most of them). But when the blue bar is very high, it can mean that phenomena like homosexuality, transgenderism, pedophilia, zoophilia, and other not-so-pleasant things are absolutely normally accepted in the country.

Well, that means the nation will be more beautiful.
