Sometimes I feel like it's like the Caster Semenya witch hunt. I still feel bad for that woman.
I'm with you it gets pretty old. We all kno Phelps was doping because we sa the bong. This guy must be doping.

Nobody ever claimed Phelps was doping. Like usual, you just bypassed it and assumed the articles claimed they were. In fact, it does the opposite and gives you reasons of why people like Phelps are most likely clean. The two main sports were doping is prevalent is cycling and track/field. This is reference to present day, back in the 80's and the cold war era, the Soviets were notorious for sending chemical byproducts to the Olympics in many areas.

I feel like in your world NC, everything is sinister or a conspiracy. Nothing is genuine, no one is sincere. Sounds like a very bitter place to be

The world is a sinister place Smoot. One only needs to pick up a newspaper or tune into the news to see that. However, the world is also a inspiring place full of amazing feats of sportsmanship and humanity. Opening your eyes to the truth about humanity and embracing all aspects of it doesn't lead to a bitter world believe it or not, it actually has the opposite affect. It's allowed me to enjoy life considerably more as compared to when I was young and naive myself.

Also, that's not fair to characterize my beliefs that nobody is sincere or genuine. On the contrary, there are many people that fit this description and many of those people are on this very board. More often or not though, money has a way of making good people do bad(or questionable) things. Joe Paterno? Marion Jones? Politicians? .....and the list goes on.

Speaking of inspiring events. Here is a good story to a bad event. Hurdler is carried off by other athletes after he injures himself.

..and more incredible feats!

Re: The 2012 London Summer Olympics Thread

Bolt doesn't look like a juicer and his race history doesn't really reflect that of a doper. Really no good reason to think he is. Jamaica's setup has just been perfected to find and cultivate their best athletes into sprinters. Its their national sport now....or you could choose to believe a tiny carribean nation with limited resources has the best doping program outshining the US and all other far more well equiped nations.

well, brian mitchell was talking about how all the runners used to take rat posion before races to improve their fast twitch muscles... that's a weird thing to think about.
