No it's not the same. Burglars and murderers hurt other people. People taking performance enhancing drugs don't hurt other people.
I'm beginning to hate sport.

My daughter actually was at the Australian F1 on Sunday.
She just happened to be in Melbourne at the time, rather than going there specifically for the race.
She said it was fun!
The crowd was over 90,000 on the day apparently.

I dare you to cross post this on the other current thread about whether the bible is true or not. Your self confessed gratitude to the Supreme Being (Thank God!!) might cause a few raised eyebrows.

My niece has two kids. They have a trampoline in the garden. I won't bore you with the details. You know the drill.
I'm using Fenbid Forte 10% Gel. It eases the pain.
At least I'm keeping still. What else could go wrong.

Bit of a bugger, Boncey, but old bones (and muscles) and trampolines don't necessarily go together too well. Hard surface, lay flat and get some kind person to bring copious amounts of liquid refreshment. Hope you get well soon. Astute use of TV and mirrors may be called for.

To go back to bonce's original post I agree with everything he said and just got a bit sidetracked by putting my view on the drug taking.
Cheating is wrong. There is no defence and people caught cheating should be disqualified. It would be nice if such an approach applied to politics so that the Trump and brexit results could be overturned.

Indeed. We pay a lot of money for the so called privilege of watching top class sportsmen,and finding them out to be cheats leaves a sour taste.xmiles wrote:To go back to bonce's original post I agree with everything he said and just got a bit sidetracked by putting my view on the drug taking.

Ball tampering in cricket has been going on for years. Fred Trueman used to rub Brylcreem on the ball,as did many others. Some used bottle tops. So I'm not getting as angry as some people are.
What puzzles me is the method they chose to mess about with the ball. Cameras are everywhere in modern sport,so what idiot chose to use a piece of dayglow tape,then attempt to stick it down the front of his trousers?

Give it a rest you fuckwit. Stop trying to turn every thread into a Brexit bashing.
Bitter, boring, wanker.

It's not just the pre-meditated ball tampering:-there have been many other incidents involving foul play and a culture of underhand, nasty behaviour over recent years under Lehman. Banter has turned into vicious sledging, intimidation and abuse....and even physical violence. They actively engage in what they call mental disintegration.
Even more sickening is the cowardly partial cover-up now: there is no way in the world that the team manager was not involved. The leadership "group" can't just be two players and a rookie. Starc and Lyon must have been aware too. Lawyers have got involved to threaten legal challenges to sanctions.
Cricket Australia need to show determination to stop the nation continuing to be regarded as the most unsporting ever. Then the tennis authorities need to sort out Kyrgios and Tomic to prevent a similar reaction to their sport.

A few people need to lose their heads. They certainly threw Bancroft under the bus.
And I agree that the coach must have been in the know. If he wasn't,it tells you a lot about the culture of the Australian dressing room.

No it's not the same. Burglars and murderers hurt other people. People taking performance enhancing drugs don't hurt other people.
They put there own lives at risk and hurt the people they take a medal off, and all the fans watching sport. Not the same maybe, but your solution is to cave in to anyone who doesn't follow rules, and making cheating the norm. That's the tail wagging the dog for me.

Only just seen this much nearer the mark. and i agree with your thoughts on the above.
However if we don't follow the democratic vote then the whole system fails. As much as i think the Brexit brigade have shafted us over far to simplistic ideals.
