Pretty good, should medal.
Brett Chalmers' kid got an Olympic medal? You mean the former Crows player?
What was that? A bronze medal? Chalmers played for Port Power didn't he?

Right on cue the Spud Missile spuds it up again.
Given a golden ticket to the final and swims a full second slower than he's capable of.
For someone who is capable of being the fastest swimmer on the planet, he's a complete spud.
except those athletes have nothing to do with the Olympics. they are professional boxers, not amateurs. you do realise they are different sports?

So you are telling me that no Olympic boxer has ever been caught doping?

One of the Irish boxers hasn't been able to go to Rio because he tested positive. Ireland refused to allow him to get on the plane and travel there.

Yes, just found it.
An Irish boxer has tested positive for a banned substance on the eve of the Olympic Games.
The Irish Athletic Boxing Association confirmed that a fighter had been provisionally suspended from competing at Rio 2016 after testing positive for a banned substance.
A statement from the IABA read: “The Irish Athletic Boxing Association has been notified by Sport Ireland today of an alleged violation of the Irish Anti-doping Rules committed by one of the boxers in our High Performance Unit.

He has some issues I think which doesn't make him a great team mate. Bronze is a great result though. It was always going to be tough to get the Americans and the french.
I think the anabolic steroids are easier to spot than EPO or stimulantsBlackcat on the HTB will tell you there are tell tale signs about which athletes are doping or not. I can't look at them now without seeing the signs.
When will the TV stations simply allow you to choose what events you want to watch?
The technology is there, not sure why it isn't done.
I personally can't stand watching swimming, but theres a host of other things I'd love to be watching live

China is demanding an apology from Mack Horton, after he labelled his Chinese rival a "drug cheat"
I say he should just do it and end the debate. Move on.

Thought Magnussen did well all things considered. He made the relay squad on merit and swam OK, both he and Roberts aren't the same swimmers they were 4 years ago as injury/illness has cruelled both of them.
They were 3rd or 4th favourite going in and that's how it panned out.

Is there a chance you might contribute something to this thread other than drugs in sport? You opened with drugs in sport right from the very first page.
Much as I'd love this to turn into another 5000 page Essendon doping saga of which you contributed about 2000 pages, it might be nice to talk about the actual sport?
Maybe you could start an Olympic drugs thread.

This is so appropriate. So quick to call athletes out from other countries but when it's one of our own... The excuses come, "he was duped" "his mother gave him a diuretic" "he's a good bloke".

I do believe the issue of drugs in the Olympics are being discussed by more than just me.
In fact one of our own gold medalists has uttered the word drug cheats in just the last day or so. Seems to have made quite a splash.

This is an olympic thread. Can we cease with the drugs in sport crap for now and actually talk about whats happening in the olympics?
