I still remember someone on our board being surprised that there were drug cheats in the Paralympics .
In this day & age all will be disabled i would imagine .The trick is to try & work the classification system as being moved up a classification can mean you go from a gold medal possibility to being lucky to make the final.

I remember watching that and thinking that there was no way he could keep going at that pace. I was right, he got quicker!
It got overshadowed by "super Saturday" but as Rorschach this was the outstanding athletics performance of the games .

Definitely beating Australia at Edgbaston in 2005. That test was just unbelievable - arguably the best of all time. I think its the biggest happy, to total and utter despair, to pure ecstasy I've experienced in sport. Such a bitter rivalry. We thought we were finally going to beat them then they spend an afternoon getting closer and closer to our total and the feeling of pure shock and desperation that we're going to lose again - and then right at the end with all hope lost we take their last wicket and win! ****ing brilliant! Just look at the crowd at the end of that video - a win by 2 runs! I'll never forget it.
