    beepbeep- that's what the guy says.
    He took a picture of himself with his username and the date to prove he was the one posting. He could be lying of course, but why bother posting on an obscure-ish forum then?

    I don't know if this video was already posted, but the Daily Show had a segment on the "excited" rower.

    LMAO. "Who gets a boner for a [bleep]ing bronze?"

    Oh this poor guy.... although, since he is on reddit, he probably has a good sense of humor and is excited (hah) to be on the Daily Show, but I can't think of anything more embarrassing...

    I remember Liz Manley saying she bit her medal in 1988 to make sure it was real and that she wasn't dreaming it

    The heartbreak of finishing 4th - an article in USA Today

    Shortly after missing out on a medal, Phinney tweeted at Jones after she lost: "Hey @lolojones, I know how it feels to get 4th place at the Olympics. Let's be friends. PS I have a bicycle. #wheels"

    Jones joked that she doesn't follow losers.

    "Totally joking," she said in an interview with USA TODAY Sports on Thursday. "Every time you experience something painful it just opens the door for you to kind of relate to somebody else when they're going through something tragic in their life.

    "And not to say losing a medal is tragic. But the fact that he can relate to my pain is pretty cool. I definitely want to be his friend just for the bike, because I'm so tired of walking around that Olympic village. And then I'll unfollow him on Twitter after."

    Tweet from US wrestler Jordan Burroughs:

    I think the podium stand outfit is pretty trendy. To be honest, I could wear a diaper up there, as long as I'm on top of the podium!!!

    I really am behind the curve. Here I've been thinking, "Poor Ryan Lochte, having to wear braces at this point in his life."

    And now I find out they're decorative "grilles".

    The "decorative" description might be a bit much.

    And I have just discovered that every single event that was broadcasted here, is available on the cable company's VoD channel. All HD.

    I die.

    http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/201...ing/index.html Interesting SI article on doping. I've always imagined that there are sports where doping plays little part and others where it's rampant, but I'm a little surprised at how pessimistic Pound is.
    Because surely, getting inside info can't be *that* difficult.
