My recent thread on pacemakers. (Didn’t think it would come into handy! 
)
As is usually the case with these little scandals, my questions are 1. who cares enough about this dinky little sport to even want to corrupt it in the first place and 2. who cares enough about this random schlub to rig the game for him. I mean, strongarming Michael Schumacher’s teammate into tanking was despicable, but I got that. Propping up some random Chinese runner makes about as much sense as throwing a cornhole tournament or point-shaving a UFL game. Seriously, what the hell am I missing here?
Additionally, if He Jie’s helpers really wanted him to win the race, wouldn’t it make a lot more sense to just not compete in it? I mean, look how far he was ahead of everyone else! He had this in the bag! He didn’t need any “pacemakers”, unless wind resistance was just that debilitating to him, which of course just makes the idea that anyone would consider him worthy of propping up even more ridiculous.
