Up there with the best ever boxing performances by a Irish person in the Olympics. Well done Kellie

An amazing performance, how anyone could question the result I don't know, I think she won the 1st round too.

She's an inspiration to young people and especially young girls.

Outstanding

It's Ireland 2nd or 3rd best Olympics depending on how you view Michelle Smith

Depends on how you look at what se did or didn't do, she beat the system or did the Americans have a bad day?

Her tests were negative before during and after. I can't recall whether she set World or Olympic records, I know she came from nowhere so that's the first alarm bell and there were others, it's like saying Bradley Wiggins was not under suspicion for his golds at the Olympics or Mo for that matter.
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

A four time Olympic medalist. Why would she be viewed as anything else?

I don't. 
But many do.

A lot of people think their fellow nationals can do no wrong. The same Americans who went after Smith gave a free ride to Angel Martino a proven drugs cheat who picked up 2 gold (relay) and 2 bronze medals at the Atlanta games.

I reckon there is a lot of drug cheating going on at these games, they just are not being caught.

She doesn't count for me. Great to see us getting another gold.

2 golds look better in the rankings than 1.

Jimmy White admitted he took a lot of cocaine and other drugs during his career, but said he stopped in time before tournaments, so he'd be clean if tested.

He never won the world title, but he won a lot of other tournaments.

Would he be considered a drugs cheat?

Id imagine the drugs Jimmy took were more detrimental to his career.
