My sentiments precisely. It's a pity that athletes have to take matters into their own hands after being let down by gutless authorities. One of these days world sport may decide to take a solid stance on the drugs issue.

The reason there are so many athletes still doping is because it is still worth the risk. Take Gatlin for example. Should have been banned for life, asks for an 8 year ban rather than be kicked out of athletics for life. Then, he appeals that, and they cut it back to 4 years. Then he comes...

She would have had a first or business class seat, the athletes who did all the work would have been in cattle class.

This is Big Footy, so it's inevitable that no matter what happens is the best or worst ever. I welcome the Olympics every 4 years, to see the various cultures of different countries, to see sports we rarely see at any other time, and of course, to see the best athletes the world can display...

I rather enjoyed the Games myself.

Yeah, but Gasol can actually play.

This is it. Everyone is going on about Semenya's rights, but what about the poor women who are disadvantaged by this ruling? Why is one person more important than everyone else? Once again, political correctness gone mad.

Biggest joke of the Olympics. I think we need a third gender category. "Men who can't compete with other men and try to convince us they're women". I feel so sorry for the real women who have to compete with this nonsense.

Correct. Our biggest headache will be containing Pau Gasol who is one of the best centres in world basketball.

Well then, he did it very well.

Why? Bogut looks cooked to me. He can barely move up and down the court. Against Pau Gasol, we'll need someone under the basket who can cause him some problems, and I doubt Bogut can do it with his current fitness.

Imagine what our medal tally would be if it wasn't for the likes of Chloe Esposito and Catherine Skinner who WEREN'T expected to win? All our so-called champions have fallen flat on their faces.

I know he scored some junktime points, but I'd start him instead of Bogut against Spain. At least Motem has some mobility.

Sadly, I think you're right. This game was huge for the future of basketball in Australia and we failed miserably.

Larry? At least he's doing a good job. 11 points.

They've been throwing up prayers, not chairs :)

I'm worried what Pau Gasol will do to our defence, Can't see us beating Spain for the Bronze. They'll need to lift big time.

Certainly not in the Olympics, and I would dare say not ever.

I can't believe they pay him $16m a year in the NBA doing what he does.

Not really. We've been final 4 several times before with worse teams than this one.

I think Bogut's face mirrors the way we are playing.

Who put the lid on the Australian basket? Serbs just throw it up and it's in.

14 points to half time. Another nose bleed from an Australian team in the Olympics. What a disappointment.

And you haven't helped.

Some of you people need to look back to years such as 1976 and 1980 where we won bugger all.

I try to like soccer, I really do, but just when I begin to enjoy it, something happens to disgust me. Watching Honduras play Korea. that player who fell over and then needed to be stretchered off ... weak as piss. Then when the game was over, the way the Korean players stood around...

Not interested in lists. They hold no credence whatsoever.

I struggle to watch hockey at the best of times, but it would be nice to see a goal every now and then.

I remember when our hockey teams used to score.

It's the people taking the drugs who are losing, not us.
