Britain's cycling success - is it cricket? 11:15pm on 18 Aug 2008 Lame article.
The odd couple unveil new shoes 00:42am on 06 Aug 2008 Nice article. Funny!
Beijing to witness next Ashes clash 7:21pm on 28 Jul 2008 Good article. Very interesting and well researched!
Idowu takes it all in his stride 00:20am on 24 Jul 2008 Not the most informed article. I'm sure the burden is pretty heavy and Idowu has hardly outperformed himself on the world stage before. In fact, if I remember correctly, nerves have got to him on several occasions.

Still good luck this time and hope he brings back gold!
Is it time for more politics in sport? 8:10pm on 14 Jul 2008 Political protests at the Olympics have also included the killing of 11 Israelis in 1972, so perhaps the lack of political protestations isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Dose of long jump joy relieves Chambers headache 4:02pm on 13 Jul 2008 From this blog, to Steve Cram's self-righteous rants, there seems to be a strong bias in the BBC's reporting of this affair. Clearly lots of people do think that he should run and the comments on this thread attest to this. You can talk about your sloths as much as want but this won't change.

Perhaps, some BBC journalist should have the guts to actually come out in favour of him rather than towing this rather tired line. He has been honest regarding his previous transgressions, he has served his ban, he has more charisma than 80% of our athletes, and he is the best sprinter that we've got. And please stop using the same negative pull-quotes for all BBC stories on the topic. Impartial? I don't think so.
What to watch at the Olympic trials 02:36am on 12 Jul 2008 For someone who complains frequently about Dwain Chambers in nearly every article you write (BBC + Guardian) and when you are on TV (e.g. throughout the World Indoors), it seems somewhat hypocritical that you often state that he takes attention away from other athletes. Indeed, he seems to be your pet topic and you appear to give him more attention than anyone.
