How have we come to this point? We’ve finally recognised the mental health problems and high suicide rates among people with gender dysphoria, which are largely created and reinforced by inflicting gender stereotypes on people. To simply brush it off as the “world gone crazy” or to blame the “PC...
You can scrub Ashton Agar off that list. He just played in both of Australia’s tests and a couple of ODIs on the tour of Bangladesh and India about three months ago. He’s only just turned 24 too, so time is definitely on his side.
From what I have read about Lewis, the levels he tested positive to are now legal under WADA and IOC rules. At the time he tested positive, it wouldn’t have resulted in an automatic suspension, but would only have triggered a “please explain”.

My grandfather and great uncle were among the 55,000 - and to confirm what was posted above, they were fighting against the Russians, rather than for the Germans.
