At one time the communist bloc of nations had a government policy that used drugs to enhance performance.
Today there is not a known organized doping country, it is individuals or coaches that dope.
There have been a few athletes that were kicked out of this Olympics for using drugs, two for alcohol, one for TCP, and several for PEDs they just don't make the news.
If you look at medal taken away from olympics, US has the most
But 5 of them are from the same person, so that should count as one
Russia would come in second, again 5 are from 2 people
The country that has the most medal stripped would be Bulgaria with 7 and 7 different people
Where the US had more medal, less people
USA NO DOUBT as they have the no.1 record of doping in sports, athletes and use of enhancement drug test. Recently IOC have busted 2 American superstar gold medal winning athletes of using drug enhancement, but it's truly annoying that these shameless U.S got away with if for 8 years. Even today U.S goalie Hope solo were busted for drugs, and U.S Judo did not use enhancement drugs but still used drugs which is against the olympic spirits. Now there's Lance Armstrong who could be using enhancement drugs
BUSTED U.S CHEATS.

GBR probably, that's why they have an unusually high amount of medals apart from the fact seeing how they're hosting the Olympics after paying of the IOC and the judges.
Hell, check USSR and East Germany female athletes in the 1970s. They used androgenic hormones to achieve performances, and the result is that some of these women have changed sex. Poor chaps...
These days it is China.There is a huge pressure from the chinese government for the athletes to bring home medals.Many suspicious results achieved by them.

NONE no country do it okay so shut up and this goes for all who is reading this
Just wanted to know and maybe also the reason behind it specifically for each country? I know that in general they may want to do well for the country etc...
And do you think that even though some countries are not on the list, it wasn't because they didn't dope, but never got caught? How reliable do you think the drug tests are?
And how come there are so many Americans on the list, well according to wiki? Or isit that they're just unlucky?
Nothing against anybody. Would prefer a clear explanation because I don't follow the olympics. Thanks in advance! :)
