And to top it off we won more gold in different sports than anyone else. The lottery funding has worked wonders. His greatest achievement.

Too right, they're nowhere near good enough at hiding it, they'll bring the Olympics int to disrepute. Got to love how short the bans are, too, most of them didn't even miss a single Olympics.

Davkaus Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 (edited) 4 hours ago, This Could Be Rotterdam said: I don't claim to really follow it, but why on earth would you need to dope when competing in equestrian? I'm not sure if you're joking, but it's the horses that they drug. Typically some kind of pain relief, so the horse can ignore its body and keep on putting stress on their injuries. Never mind the horse, at least some clearing in the woods wins a medal. Edited August 22, 2016 by Davkaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wazzap24 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Quote Mongolian wrestling coaches strip in protest at result http://bbc.in/2bo7dXZ Highlight of the whole thing for me, absolutely brilliant! I love how after the one guy strips, the other coach appears to be trying to talk him down, then thinks **** it, I'm having some of this and gets down to his under crackers! The only way this could have been any better, is if the big lad legit body slammed one of the judges through the table The commentator getting all uppity about it, makes it even funnier for me.

There was a very telling moment on the radio the other day. They were interviewing either the head of rowing or the head of sailing, I can't remember, but they asked him about lottery money, and he said 'yes, it's very important. We're not a school sport' - and then a small pause - 'well, we are in some very good schools'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
