Mara Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 QUOTE (pedro2112 @ Aug 11 2012, 02:04 AM) Is there anyone on this board who doesn't think the Jamacians are souped up on drugs? I figure Bolt is probably clean - like cycling's Lance Armstrong, I bet he's been tested more than any other athlete in his sport. Kind of odd that the US lost some of its total dominance in track after the clampdown on performance-enhancing drugs. Did we have that many runners shooting up in days of yore? Or have others found something that doesn't yet test? I'm still wondering what will shake out with the superhuman performance of the Chinese swimmer Ye Shiwen. Exactly what were she, her coach, and her trainer doing in that handicapped bathroom stall five minutes prior to her event? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I was just watching modern pentathlon and in the show jumping section this horse refused the 3rd fence. The rider had a few problems controlling the horse and it wasn't clear if there was a insurmountable problem. Then the horse took a good dump... And that was the answer, the horse took the rest of the fences pretty nicely. The horse just had to poo! So let them horses poo before you ride them in show jumping!

CygnusGal Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Watching speed walking. What an odd sport. I wonder if they are ever overwhelmed by the urge to just jog away. At least they don't have the issues treeduck just mentioned. Eewww.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even odder is that one of the walkers in the men's division got tossed for doping. Doping? To walk faster? I'm sorry, but that's just hilarious.
