Reality bites for British athletics 11:42pm on 05 Nov 2008 Why do these athletes need funding at all? If they want to reap the rewards for their labour, then they should pay their own way. I am on a highish salary, but i still pay my own tube fare, rent, food, gas, council tax etc. It seems these athletes want someone else to pamper them, when they dont have their own lucrative deals.
A missed opportunity for GB archers 7:51pm on 25 Aug 2008 It is sad, that Archery is regarded as a Beijing failure, yet in Athletics and Hockey, we are "improving" and "making progress"
Drug cheats getting comeuppance 4:31pm on 23 Aug 2008 Cheating? How was this cheating? If Blonska was exposed five years ago ,she was not cheating at anything. She merely turned up to the Olympics with the approval of her governing body, the IAAF, the IOC and everyone else. You cant allow her to compete and then say she was a cheat because she failed a drugs test. Based on her past it was more than not likely she was aided by drugs, doesnt mean she was chating us to believe she was a clean athlete. She clearly wasnt.
Frustration for Britain's hockey teams 7:28pm on 20 Aug 2008 I indeed was educated in the state sector. I do know what i am taking about--Both GB teams failed, some of you are deluded and think they actually won something (which is what i meant by hockey is stuck in the dark ages).

I heard Dave Faulkner today say GB hockey was going somewhere before 2012 (when asked to comment the Beijing gold medalists). A brick wall in a one way street comes to mind.
