A nice thought in the spirit of the games, but the Chinese swimmer is swimming in the shadows of her countries past. This is the legacy that China has left it's competitors. They can cry foul all they want, but they have only themselves to blame.Originally Posted by allezfred
I feel the same way about the Americans and track and field. Their long history of dopers and their continued association with dopers makes me automatically assume the worst and think these athletes are using performance enhancing drugs. If it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck then it must be.
It's unfortunate, but once suspicion is cast, you are automatically assumed guilty until proven innocent.

To think that fun is simple fun, while earnest things are earnest, proves all too plain that neither one thou truthfully discernest.

Germany gold, GB silver and New Zealand bronze in team three day eventing. Ireland a very respectable fifth. Let's just hope now that none of the horses are doped.

V. Williams just hammered Wozniak from Canada in women's tennis.

Rain has stopped the tennis match of V. Williams and A. Wozniak of Canada. I would be surprised if our girl won so perhaps the rain s a blessing in disguise.
