Gold confirms Cooke's cycling talent 9:11pm on 10 Aug 2008 Nicole was tremendous - it looked like she'd gone a bit early in the sprint and was going to get nailed on the line, but she dug in and showed real grit and determination to achieve her goal - sport at it's best. Well done and congratulations Nicole.
Rutherford's heroics and the 100m showdown 11:28am on 14 Jul 2008 Teutonic1000,
Chambers hasn't served his time - the BOA had a life ban in place before Chambers became a drug cheat - as long as he's breathing he hasn't served his time, and he knew this at the time.
People need to get a grip and realise that people competing in sports are treated far more leniently than in any other walk of life;
if a bank employee were to steal from his/her employer, do you think they would just get two years off work, but with their liberty intact, and then be able to get another job in a bank?
Everyone banging on about a second chance - well, yes, you deserve a 2nd chance in life, but not in the same area where you've already messed up.
I messed up once, when I was younger than Chambers was when he cheated, I accepted my punishment and got on with my life in a different sphere - I wish he'd do the same.

As for the trials, the girl Perri in the 400hurdles was impressive - she should go to Beijing; the first and second in the wonmen's 800m ran well, and Rimmer looked good in the men's equivalent, although the rest of the field looked sub-standard.
