The more that comes out about Biles, the more it seems that USA Gymnastics did her wrong (surprise!) - Reagen Jul 31, 12:46 12

  - Right. -- nm - znufrii Jul 31, 13:44

  - All the athletes have an exemption for prescribed medication. This appears to be a Joe Rogan pedalled rumour. -- nm - Reagen Jul 31, 12:52 1
    - ah, thanks. I should know better than to trust the internet. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 31, 18:31
- that aint right -- nm - mud Jul 31, 12:49
