Morons closed the forth road bridge for it and caused chaos. Don't really care about the torch or the paralympics. Somewhat interested in the olympics but the politics pisses me off and the holier than thou drug testing.

Not really interested in the slightest about the stupid torch or the olympics myself.

I'm not interested in the games themselves but the amount of people who came to watch the torch being carried through the town were I live was amazing, its not happened before in my life time and more than likely won't happen again either

the most inspirational person to carry the torch for me is the soldier who lost both his legs, look at the smile and determination on his face

they are talking of storing blood samples for 8 years after the Olympics Stewart
thing is as you correctly infer,there are those who cheat and those who get caught
1988 seoul 100m final 4 of the top 5 tested positive in their careers

lance armstrongs old team mates from the us postal team havent fared so well either
near enough all of their top riders have been busted

I wonder how long it will be before bolt and blakes chicken nugget diet is pulled apart?
I hope it never happens

Watch the documentary bigger stronger faster, it's about performance enhancing drugs.

From memory, all but 1 tested positive in the race that Ben Johnson was disqualified from. Carl lewis tested positive before but it was swept under the rug. The top athletes get designer steroids etc made for them, ones that only they get and can't be detected, the athletes just starting out get the run of the mill ones and have to cycle them to avoid getting caught.
The only athletes not on performance enhancing drugs can't afford them or are losers.

linford failed a dope test in that race but he claimed it was from ginseng or summat
most of these lies are from masking agents
i think they had to pull ben johnson because he was the most blatantly pumped and he wasnt the media darling that carl lewis was
I know a lad that use various steroids etc for his training
he isnt a doorman or anything he just wants to be big and does them in cycles
when i gave him dogs abuse he said "i dont drink,smoke ,or eat crap food" and he does look rather healthy

anyway the olympics,I am going and its getting me all patriotic
funny enough the chicken nugget diet hasnt worked for 3 million obese schoolkids :laugh:
