I’m sure you’ll make it a night to remember when he eventually does “finish”. :roll:

As you might expect, I take the opposite view.

The entire Olympic thing is riddled with corruption and commercialism. It costs the ‘taxpayer’ an absolute fortune to stage, just so that an assortment of the otherwise unemployable can show off their physical skills in a so-called fair competition.

Fine, so let’s let them use as many drugs, chemicals and various performance enhancers as they can cram down their throats or stuff in their veins. After all what difference does it make in reality?

An enormous amount of money is spent in trying to keep the ”Games” drug free …. let’s save the money and let these so-called athletes all kill themselves with overdoses of mind and body damaging performance enhancement drugs.

At least we can then forget all about this hypocritical Olympic ideal and go back to doing something more useful or productive every four years.

It’s all the bloody Greek’s fault anyway …. just ‘cos we’ve got their effing marbles.

you are of course exactly on the ball there my friend. i think the athletes should be allowed to take as many drugs as they want for whatever reason, then mabey the americanswill get some competition, after all flo jo never ever tooka drug in her entire 38 years on earth did she ? the yankee government said so. so we believe them dont we ? personally i think it would be far more entertaiing to see hundreds of massive swimmers and runners vieing for gold medals for their children to pawn in a year or twoo when they die. after twenty years of this, they may get the message that these performance enhansers arent hat good for hem and return to proper sport until then.. the sport world can kiss my money goodbye, i wont patronise a single one of them.
