The point is, he admitted to cheating. Michael Mansfield could'nt defend that. |

no, he didn't admit to cheating, because they didn't cheat, what they did was within the rules. |

rlThe IOC don't think it's cheating.rl Seems to me he just got of to a crappy wobbly start and once he realised what was happening he just went with it, knowing they'd get the restart. It's within the rules.
Not like they're showing Team GB much favouritism is it? Just ask rlPendleton & Varnish.rl
Absolutely loving the games at the mo, and with the boss on holiday next week I can see a few more days "working from home".  |

As others have said, it was within the rules and therefore cannot be cheating. |

Meanwhile, I thought Rebecca Addlington was disappointing tonight.

yes, because you could have done better?
the American girl was amazing (I wonder if the Chinese coach will accuse her of doping), Addlington has done incredibly well in her career, remember, anyone even n a final is one of the BEST 8 in THE WORLD at the time.
what's your biggest achievement, and how much sacrifice did it require? |

As she said ... If you think Silver or Bronze is losing, try her sport.

And so you aim towards the sky,
And you'll rise high today,
Fly away, Far away,
Far from pain....:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_53838.jpg |

Felt sorry for Adlington, who suffered from the usual British media treatment of building the expectation on her to an unrealistic level....Yes, she had a good chance going into the race, but if you believed the hype, she was an odds on favourite, which was never the case.
On the subject of somebody who suffers from over expectation from our media, I was glad to see Andy Murray show some grit in his match with Djokovic - For all his detractors, Murray is a top player, and it would be great if he could beat Federer on Sunday and perhaps shut some of his know-nothing critics up....Considering he often gets slagged off for his supposed surlyness, it was good to see Murray show some passion and get the crowd in a similar state.

In the world of a halfwhit that has achieved the adulation of passing their driving test.
Amazing how the usual negative f'whits have disappeared now we're getting LOTS of medals, Sin Bin, the home of jealous people who hate success and want us all to pay for the sink at the shallow end. |

Not locked ... not moved to 'other sports' ...
Because we already have a thread where the Olympics are being discussed.
... and yes, we've had some fantastic successes. |
