Golly mate try to focus on the victories and less on the failures. Posts like that just highlight the mindset of some on here. Until those two girls did us proud today,we were without a gold medal. You prefer to highlight a last place finish. Why ?
Got to feel for that Spaniard whose bike chain snapped on the starting podium. To train all that time and to have your Olympic dream ruined in a matter of seconds must be hard to take.
It's difficult to win many medals when the Chinese have munched so many drugs.... Oooooh that's right, I went there... I went there!
I was just going to ask about this. Not seen much of the Olympics but just read about this little chinese lass. Trouble is it gets political as we dont want the bad press at "our" Olympics. 5 seconds off ya personal best!! Bollocks. I'l back you up Party she is a cheat. FACT END OF!!
There is no proof yet, it might just turn out she's amazingly talented. Or part-fish. The Americans have their suspicions though. If the Chinese ARE drugging it, on top of deliberately throwing badminton matches, I will flip my lid! Golden Star will not be getting any custom this week, let me tell you.
Since she's past a drugs test, it's quite conclusive the American bloke was talking out of his arse. Although, they've disowned him from their team, which is good.
The people who make the drugs are always one step ahead of the testers unfortunately! If you seriously think she can swim a faster last leg than Ryan Lochte the mens champ then you are very idealistic. edit cant spell fasert
True. It's like 'Virus/Anti-Virus' on the PC. Can't have a virus-killer until the virus is identified. Same with drugs. Still - they do keep samples for something like 8 years, so can always go back and test them again....
Did anyone see a programme a few weeks back about the Ben Johnson 100 metre final. Think of the 8 finalists 6 have been implicated or banned for doping. Even Carl Lewis has some scandal about him. Apparently they still have the samples but there's no political will to re examine them with modern techniques. The only one who came across well was the Brazilian kid.
Apparently she is a bit of a freak of nature and has absolutely enormous feet and a leg to torso ratio that gives her a perfect physique for swimming. Maybe she's just born to swim. With a popultation of 1.2 billion people, I suppose the odds are in favour of at least 1 person being born with those attributes.
The Americans cant talk, they have some of the biggest cheats going ! When the Olympics were held in Australia 26 American competitors had drug infringements before the games but this was wiped under the carpet by the American officials .
It was an interesting program. One of the testers interviewed had kept samples from the 1984 olympics. When he went back to test these samples he was getting so many positive results he just stopped and though some things are best left in the past. There must be many sporting hero's that were doppers. Sport seems to be a lot cleaner now than its ever been. Just on the Chinese swimmer. She's 16 and it's not uncommon to make big improvements on PB's at that age.

The Chinese lass is a victim of her own countries history re cheating which is possibly ongoing. I think the American guy was justified to speak out because of this. He might have paid a price for that but time will tell on the issue. The girl herself might be entirely unaware of anything untoward happening which is why some people are upset and also her age. Sad state of affairs.
