Very simple. Do you think the Olympics should go ahead ?

There is a lot of pressure not to and now some sponsors are not sure

It should go ahead. I know in weightlifting the lines are very blurry right now and the athletics need to meet a certain amount of weigh ins throughout the year to stay on track for the Olympics. I am pretty sure a lot of doping will be taking place right now during this window and if cancelled there's no reason not to dope for some athletes.
A question as a sports fan. Do you have anecdotal evidence of additional doping or is it a suspicion? I sense that lots of athletes in all sports are doing legal supplements but the boundaries have blurred over the years.
A friend of mines parents were in charge of doping control in Poland and he used to tell me that they knew who was on it by their behaviour with the testers.
