The rules should be amended to a mandatory 2 year ban, plus the next Olympics if they fall outside the ban, or a mandatory 4. Being caught a second time, automatic life ban.

Either way great race, and you could see Bolt winning it after he won the semi final with such ease. Shame about Powell not finishing under 10 seconds too. Does everything seem like a little bit of an anti-climax after last nights events with the atmosphere etc?

The only problem with Herbert was his premature over excitement. I kept thinking we were about to cross the line when there were still 500m to go.

Well we had a phantom bottle thrower just at the start of the 100m final.
Thankfully thd pond life was caught and arrested.
Hopefully he will have his testicles removed so he can't reproduce.

He was tackled by someone who had been competing in the judo

The 2-year ban feels about right to me, but fully agree that a second conviction is indefensible and should draw a life ban.

The women's boxing is lot better than I expected

In fairness, Claire Balding has been excellent.

Another gold, well done to the showjumping team.

True but Claire does her research into every sport she does,and, a mention to the experts they have on with them...Foster and Thorpe excellent,Cavendish and Staff excellent and micheal johnson excellent
