Cheaters are everywhere
But it more likely to use marijuana during a party then steroids, blood dope or something like that.

I finally got around to googling what the kids mean by "OFC". Previously, I'd just ignored it and read the sentence as if it weren't there. As it turns out, that was a valid assumption. Kinda like adding "at this point in time" for the MBA-types to pad out sentence length.
Also, sailing? Sailing? What about jacks? At least that's a sport*. Sailing is a passtime, like hockey or photography.
So in the spirit of counting down, how long till the Olympics are over? With all this doping, it's just a big scam.
*Sport (n): a game played with a ball.

Is this an indication of a decline of an athletic culture in Finland?

In reality I think there are at least 2 factors contributing to that;
- 1.) In the early day there were just a handful of countries participating to the games, hence most of the talent in the world got no chance to partake.
- 2.) Also, and most important is tha fact that games in those days were pretty much amateur games in the spirit-of-olympics; there was no such thing as professional athletes, and "coaching" was a word not yet invented...
