very good point actually...we will never really know as the americans will keep it hush hush as they do with most things.

i remember that year the russians decided not to go to america for the olympics which basically gave the green light to the americans getting a far bigger medal haul than expected, the thing that always stuck with me was the spaced out starry eyed look every american athlete had when a medal was won...i got the feeling that any drug testing was 'avoided' or kept to an absolute minimum and they knew it would not include american athletes.

Both the Yanks and the Russians (and the East Germans) were nearly as bad as each other for doping. They did it to get one over the other, for political reasons. And to feed their own national egos they'd both look the other way to their own cheating. That said the American "win at all costs, you have to want it more than anyone else, no time for losers" attitude probably means there's a few more there who are susceptible to being brought round to cheating, especially if they see massive financial rewards for winning.
 
I haven't really followed the story until this thread Smug, so I was speaking more generally. But looking at that podium picture you posted above, even in my most rampant days I wouldn't be queuing to buy her a drink :emoticon-0102-bigsm


Doubt I'd of bothered with either of em. The one in the middle maybe.
The one on the right I'd pay to do me garden and I'd of chinned the bloke on the left.
 
Tories really going for it today. All coming out with common and scientific sense about trans and woman rights in sports. Labour need to sort it out otherwise going to put them at a massive disadvantage.

Mostly agree ie in relation to sport, and about Labours clarity but it’s dangerous if this government are seeing intolerance as a chance to resurrect their score in the polls. We’ve already seen their hateful attitude to migrants because they think it’s popular with voters. We don’t need them to any more inhuman.

Can’t remember them having a hatred towards migrants or do you mean illegal migrants?

So I was at Sheffield for the last couple of days as Miss Yellowbelly was competing at British Champs...as ever at these type of events there was a shop selling swimming related merch...
I didn`t think it appropriate to lift the top up to check whether these models were boys or girls. I initially thought that as the one in the black seems to be wearing high heels she must be a female swimmer...I`m less sure now
