    Do it for the Russians and the floodgates would surely open for other countries - there are drug cheats everywhere.

    Might save us from death by drowning in interminable international competitions though.

    Russians aren't the only drug cheats in sport around - ban them and others would have to be banned too.

    A fair point.

    Unfortunately it seems to state sponsored and systemic in Russia.

    I am sure this young girl hasn’t cheated off her own back .

    And our only real chance of getting any medals.

    Scots will probably say it's a Scottish medal - not GB if they do though!

    Definitely Scottish. Even all the curling stones are Scottish - all manufactured in the Ayrshire town of Mauchline, using granite from the uninhabited island of Ailsa Craig in the Firth of Clyde. :)

    Wasn’t to be for the Men.

    Edged out in a tight game against a very good side

    Good luck to the ladies.
