Athlete doubling had been a big thing since the last olympics, they'd tried to keep it quiet but the underground newswire was burning with the news. They'd even setup a matching service.
So what was athlete doubling? Simply put, dealing in stolen identities, but just for a few weeks. The sportsmen (and women) in their prime would be jacked and somebody with the right money would be inserted into their body--to experience the Olympics first hand.
Take #37 here, this American was jacked two days ago. grabbed by two thugs while the sixteen year old son of a very wealthy businessman was inserted into his body. Yeah, they weren't fussy or had any morals about age or gender. If you had the cash, they could find the right athlete for you.
It's always fun to watch an insertion. This one was in a dark alley, they'd separated him from the rest of his group and dragged him into the darkness. They goons had him against the wall, and unbuttoned his shirt. Flipping him over, they pinned him to the ground pushing on his shoulders. Another pulled his jacket, shirt and under vest over his head to reveal his back. He placed four discs, one at each shoulder, the other on either hip. He tapped at their surface and they glowed. The athlete started to struggle, and the operator shouted at the goons to hold him still.
