Kylian Mbappé was cancelled in China after a video circulated showing him calling Mao Zedong "a Chinese dictator" while laughing about a meme of his own face photoshopped onto Mao's image.

Lionel Messi stands 5 feet 7 inches (1.70 meters) tall, and yes, the growth hormone treatment is real but completely above board: it was medical therapy for a diagnosed condition, not an attempt to gain any athletic edge. Messi's height is rooted in a medical condition rather than genetics alone. He was diagnosed with growth hormone deficiency at age 11 and required years of hormone therapy to support his growth, a treatment his family initially struggled to afford before FC Barcelona agreed to help cover the costs after signing him to its youth academy, La Masia.
