is the olympics becoming...
 
a competition to see who has the best chemists???

Don't know if it's becoming that, but I could never live with myself if i had a gold medal stashed away that was won by cheating.. That would live with me for the rest of my life...

I guess the games is all about the World in unity... But world and unity are oxymorons at the moment.. it doesnt interest me a great deal, because not many of the column inches these days aren't actually about pride/competition...

the sad thing is that there are a small number of atheletes who have won gold medals by cheating and have no problems having it in the cupboard knowing they didnt deserve it. but i wouldnt say the olympics is becoming a competition of the best chemists, because i dont think a high number of atheletes are on drugs....

Yeah i can attest to that.Most of them are from the US.The number of people from other countries on the juice would be quite few i think.

Yeah, I was talking more about atheletes who have won gold medals by cheating and have no problems having it in the cupboard knowing they didnt deserve it.

Simon 24-07-2004 07:52 AM

oh ok, i get ya now, yeh theres plenty of them floating around, the chienese too....

Waughney 24-07-2004 08:36 AM

lol yeah, their swimmers have dissappeared off the radar in recent years.

Simon 24-07-2004 08:40 AM

they prolly all died from drug over doses.....

It could be all about people's chemists in a legal fashion as well.

The supplements that all these athletes take could make all the difference between failing and winning a medal.

Simon 25-07-2004 06:59 AM

that doesnt bother me, because the ones that are legal are available to everyone....

Wasn't there a East Germany middle distance runner who once tested positive because he claimed 'his tooth pase was spiked'?

I laughed when I read that one.
