    Again not defending her and hate this absurd pantamime surrounding her, but whatever she was taking (whether deliberate or not) was not in the same league as this fella.

    Pan wasn't amongst the 23 Chinese swimmers who tested positive, and the article I read says he was tested 21 times in July.

    Well that settles it then. Nobody has ever evaded doping tests.

    Is there any evidence against the Chinese swimmer…or is just that he’s Chinese?

    And the tiny fact that he won by that margin with that time. That raises red flags regardless of his nationality.

    They looked gone. But the beauty of the scoring system saw them somehow get to the second set tie breaker, win that and took momentum into the deciding super tie breaker. The yanks almost saved 4 gold medal points but failed on the last. The 40 year old Ram was gutted beyond belief. They should have won but couldn't serve it out when they had the chance. They just couldn't get some first serves in

    Shock in the decathlon as the second and third positioned competitors failed to make a successful height in the pole vault, so they get no points from the event. One of them is the defending champion from Tokyo, the Canadian Warner

    76km to go in the men's road cycle race, there is a Kiwi rider near the head of the peleton, which is only seconds behind a small lead group. There were two, but I can't see the second rider

    The Dutch anchor in the mixed 4 x 100 is arguably the best run I’ve ever seen.

    Incredible.

    She ran like it was 100 m even though it was actually 400 m!

    Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

    But if you google him now it’s all about the speculation of being a drugs cheat.

    Absolutely shameful.

    Awesome result.

    Even if St Lucia and the Dominican triple jumper fuck up our Per Capita standing ...

    But imagine if she was a Chinese swimmer ...

    I mean if his name was Marchand no one would bat an eyelid.

    The Chinese do have history so im not saying he’s definitely clean but it strikes me as a bit of racism for the moment.
