Why the Code's not it for Wada 8:17pm on 20 Feb 2009 You CAN CHANGE your whereabouts at any time, are some of you guys missing that?

If you drop out of a comp and go to Germany for treatment you just tell them you are going to Germany. It's not rocket science.

You can change whereabouts even 5 minutes before your slot is due to start. The 3 month rule is just so you have a record of whereabouts should the athlete not update his schedule. The entire system is Athlete controlled and updated.

It's hardly a "disgrace to sport", that's a ridiculous statement. If you relax rules you make it easier to cheat and more people will cheat. There is too much money involved to be left behind by the cheaters.

They are not treating athletes as "criminals" they are giving them the opportunity to prove that they are clean.

You shouldn't make comments like that if you don't actually know how the system works in the first place.

If people didn't cheat we wouldn't need these systems, but they do, so we do.
Why the Code's not it for Wada 2:10pm on 20 Feb 2009 If you want the benefits of being a world class athletes you have to deal with the odd difficulty as well

The system is not as hard as all these athletes make out.

If you are not where you are suposed to be you text or email and change your location. You are not BOUND to that location for the next three months.

Isinbeyeva moaning she doesn't know where she is going to be in 2 weeks.

Well I hazard a guess you know when you will be training so list that venue and if it changes then you tell WADA.

I've been on the old system and now up to 7 days a week. my slot is 7-8am when I am in bed. If I am not going to be there or want to stay with the girlfriend then I can text that change in location to UK sport up to a minute before 7am. I isn't hard.

Whereabout systems do not mean you are forced to be somewhere you don't want to be.

These athletes simply cannot be bothered to remember and want all the responsibility for their own careers taken off them.
Tensions arise over Zimbabwe crisis 4:02pm on 12 Dec 2008 CarrotsneedaQUANGO2

That is why we should have an effective foriegn policy in Zimbabwe. Worrying whether asylum seekers can reach us shouldn't be the focus. Fixing the issue causing them to leave should be.
Tensions arise over Zimbabwe crisis 3:55pm on 12 Dec 2008 This is a forum on which people post their opinion and others offer theirs, so I did.

Just because other countries won't offer asylum doesn't mean we shouldn't. Action at the source is of course primary

However seeing as Labour seems unwilling to do this then they should be ready for those escaping.

You are the selfish minority of this country who would never allow the situation of people in this country to improve even if they are here for good reason. Your tory, daily mail, selfish attitude will ensure they are accused, devalued, criticised and alienated at all times.

You daily mailers verge on the Racist and Xenopohobic
Tensions arise over Zimbabwe crisis 3:22pm on 12 Dec 2008 i_despise_labour

Your comments are, despite your protestations, despicable.

If Zimbaweans came here seeking asylum then they would be an almost the very definition of people who require it. This is why that system is in place.

They are escaping their deaths.

Turning this forum discussing Zimbabwe into a rant about uncontrolled immigration is sick. You should be ashamed of yourself
Tensions arise over Zimbabwe crisis 3:16pm on 12 Dec 2008 Yes people here feel we have been blamed and accused by Africa for actions in our past

Yes we have sent aid to africa before which has not worked.

Yes these people voted for Mugabe, but they had hoped for a black leader who was part of africa.

Yes they have to live with the consequences of their vote

HOWEVER, their are people dying, not politicians, these are human beings, they simply care about providing for their families and they care that their children are healthy and are having a good life. THESE THOUGHTS ARE THE SAME AS YOURS AND MINE AND ANY SANE PERSON

They are human beings and they are dying in horrible circumstances.

The comments on here stating how they should be left to sort "their problem" and accusing them of "wasting British money" make me sick and ashamed for the people of the UK, the country that I live in.

I never thought there were so many people in the UK who would be so callous and cold to turn a blind eye to what is happening and make themselves feel better by shedding all responsibility.

It makes me sick

The world will never be a nice place to live if people cannot rise above pety differences and continue to hold grudges. HOw many Zimbabweans do you think will criticise us if we went in and saved their lives now?

NO MORE POLITICS, ACTION IN ZIMBABWE NOW OR PREPARE FOR ANOTHER RWANDA SCALE CRISIS
Too 'European' 4:14pm on 03 Nov 2008 American radical patriotism is exactly the reason the US is being left further behind and becoming mire and more singled out as the country of hatred for the nations of the world.

I love Americans, many are my friends, but you have to realise that this stupid ungiving patriotism is damaging you.

Working with other nations doesn't mean you have to question yourself as an American.

No more us Vs them rubbish please!!
Too 'European' 3:51pm on 03 Nov 2008 Blair a mess?

Try living under Thatcher and Major and you'll see that Brits are better of than they were!

The economy is Browns fault as Treasurer.

American definition od "european"? Forward thinking, educated, cultured, world knowledged, more open minded, willing to embrace change and freedom of movement.

I take that as a compliment if I was Obama.

I urge Americans to vote Obama and leave the backward thinking, racist, xenophobic and quite simpy uneducated members of your contry behind to wallow in the mess they have created
Too 'European' 2:08pm on 03 Nov 2008 because that would require education
Too 'European' 12:56pm on 03 Nov 2008 His refusal to support the war in Iraq is also very European, remember the many demonstrations. For the average American their so called Allies failed them when their help was needed. Especially bearing in mind that America saved their bacons in WW11.

-----------

So you are comparing Bush's campaign in Irag to fighting the attempted Nazi whitewash of Europe?

How very American you are, narrow-minded, xenophobic and terrified of difference or change.

You are the reason America is falling apart my friend
