Benny, have a look at the posts you made about Armstrong on this page: http://gaaboard.com/board/index.php?topic=11652.60
It was pretty much the same routine back in 2009 with Muppet dissing your suggestion that 500 clean tests meant that he was clean.  We know how that one ended.

I'm with Muppet here.  Just about every time we have given an athlete the benefit of the doubt for big improvements we tend to find a few years later there there were "extenuating" circumstances.
Yip, not something I've hid from, it's on this or the cycling thread last week. I believed, moved on and won't be fooled again. I've  also made it clear above I know there's plenty of doping going on but I think Sky are clean.

No flies on you then.

The Olympics are one big circus, full of corruption, bribery, hypocrisy and cheating. You just don't know whether you are watching something that is real or whether the winner can be trusted. And that is all BEFORE the track and field begins.

Cant say I've ever been excited about the Olympics. It's light entertainment. Basketball & Cycling would be the 2 things I'd put a bit of effort into watching.

Why bother ffs, the cyclists are all doped up to the eyeballs...

I read an article about the sewage pumped into the bay where the sailing is on. I am afraid that is my image of Rio.

Jesus then why get excited about any sport, because potentially there is not a non doped sport.... Even the GAA will have players taking drugs, even at club level.....
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

They are all fantastic. Gymnastics is obviously a very technical sport but the men and women who do it well are as string as horses. Their core strength mist be unreal.
