The secrets of Jamaica's sprint success 00:05am on 24 Aug 2008 Just to clarify - suspicion from these quarters is not aimed only at one country. I'm sorry to say i'm suspicious of anyone smashing a previous personal best or a world record, simply because i don't believe such an increase in performance can really be explained by the competition buzz, or a 'fast' pool or track. One of the GB cyclists went 9 seconds better than his previous personal best during one of the qualifying rounds. Maybe he's not competed for a while or something but that just sounds ridiculous to me.
The secrets of Jamaica's sprint success 9:31pm on 23 Aug 2008 Yes, the elephant in the room - precisely. Let's not live with our heads in the sand. While there are multi-million pound global-brand contracts to be won and massive pressure from governments and the media to find winners, athletes, coaches and yes, perhaps even governing bodies will be tempted to turn a blind eye to a supplement.
Olympic countdown - 87 - Greene day 5:16pm on 14 May 2008 I find myself not caring. They're all on drugs aren't they? Until we know for sure they are not (or that they all are) i am not interested. Unfortunately it seems increasingly apparent that the testing doesn't work. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/olympics/2008/05/drug_testing_still_not_on_leve.html
How America is battling the drug cheats 10:32pm on 06 May 2008 tomh24 - good point, it does amount to financial deception. I wonder if all these guys have had to give their illegal earnings back. The culture of silence is surely because everyones either doing it, done it in the past or hoping to get away with it in the future. I'm seriously fed up with this. I think we'll end up with a dual games - Organic Olympics anyone?
