Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Ted Cruz of Texas says at a hearing about lacking international response to Chinese doping in Olympic swimming that people cannot forget the legendary 1980 Miracle on Ice when Team USA Hockey brought home gold and triumphed over Soviet Union, making Team USA athletes cultural heroes who inspire the next generation, but athletes did not just wake up able to compete at elite level but earned it from blood, sweat, and tears through countless years of training and sacrifice to pursue dreams of earning that coveted Olympian title, requiring sports culture of integrity built on fair competition and following rules of play, since when athletes cheat it undermines the value and existence of sports, with cheating taking many forms including performance-enhancing drugs known as doping that give unfair advantage.
