I suspect that the US, under ownership of the pharmaceutical companies, not only has more of, and more sophisticated drugs, but has probably used the doping rules themselves to discriminate against other nations. How good can a sport be when the second place team is eliminated from competition, accused of wrongdoing, that the established winner has been caught doing in the past. When you are so corrupt that you are willing to use sports for political purposes, especially when you are already the undisputed leader in that arena, and the majority of people are dumb enough to allow it, the end of your civilization is at hand. I intend to completely boycott all Olympic games forever. Just heard that the IOC banned Russia from the Olympics.

The ranking in this table is based on the average total medals per Olympiad, though whether using the figure of total gold medals or total all medals, the list order is essentially the same.Īny comments, suggestions, or corrections? Please let us know. It is not surprising what a little state-sponsored doping program can do.
However, also to be fair, the USSR can be considered a combination of many countries.Įast Germany has been listed separately from the results of Germany, highlighting how much more successful the East Germans were compared to the rest of the country. Based on this calculation, the former Soviet Union was the most successful country with 112 medals per appearance compared to the US with 94 medals per appearance. The following list averages the medals won per Olympiad, so the success of countries can be compared more directly. It seems unfair to rank countries on total medals won when some countries have appeared at the Olympic Games many more times. * combining the results of Germany, West Germany, and the United Team of Germany (but not East Germany) The USSR were the most successful on average # combining the results of USSR and the 1992 Unified Team (but Russia is separate)
