Olympic boxing

The judges are after being sent home but result stands.

Cop out.

The question is not whether or not they are incompetent, it is whether or not they are corrupt.

'sent home' = no investigation.

Exactly. It does speak volumes though. Who decided to send them home, and on what grounds?

IABA sent home them judges and the ones from the conteoversial decison in heavyweight fight.

Yes but which 'controversial' fights? Who decided they were controversial and why? On what basis were the judges removed from their positions?

Next you will see 5 million in a "loan" to the high performance unit

This is getting worse and worse.

AIBA have released statement. They review every fight and saw a handful where the scoring wasn't to required standards. Those judges will not be allowed judge for the rest of the tournamnet.

I read that the AIBA council were 'reviewing' the fight tape. Including Mr. Wu, who sounds like someone ominous. Like a James Bond villain. Mr Wu will see you now.

Maybe they said 'Ara shite lads, that's way too obvious. Get away outta dat before we have press lads trying to interview ye.'

Tongue firmly on cheek, there were soooo many posts about certain athletes who must be on drugs for getting pb's I decided to blame everyone, boats horses canoes

[AZOffaly]

In fairness we did have a couple of horses on drugs in the last few olympics, didn't we?

These lads are no daws. But surely they won t get away with such a watery explanation.
Those Russian boxers should be awarded plastic medals for all the cred they have.

The Olympics is a busted flush, too many sports, too much corruption.

The Olympics is now about nationalism and money, it probably always was. The haves and the have nots, the sports corporations and the corrupt governments and associations.

When you look at the millions spent by the UK just to win track cycling medals, a sport which is not part of their culture you have to ask why? Are medals worth that much to country, just so it can get all jingoistic ignoring their many social ills, giving these athletes knighthoods reinforcing class stereotypes.

Personally I wouldn't give a cent of government money to elite athletes, they don't deserve it, let the corporations, the sports companies, the pharmaceuticals finance them.

All our horses were asthmatics!

So the jockey (rider or whatever the appropriate term is) didn't seem to be responsible for that. Who was?

The horses were hanging out with dodgy company. The Dutch horses were wearing leather jackets and sniggering behind the stables.
