It's always the team mates that I feel sorry for, they lose their medal because of the cheating of someone else.

That'll be Canada moved up to second, don't know who finished 4th, but they'll get a Bronze now.

yep, it was the same reason bolt now does not have the triple triple

If he is found guilty, then he should be booted out of athletics forever, and if that's not legal, then he should never be selected to represent GB, or England in Commonwealth games, again.

Also should be sued for any funds he received from Lottery funding.

Would they have got a silver without one of the team doping though? If not then they never really had the medal to begin with I guess

I would not disagree with any of that. Make it hurt.

That's something nobody can say, for sure.

Over the last three or four Olympic cycles, I find myself enjoying the Paralympics far more than the "normie" ones.

The normal Olympics is getting more and more the case that the rich nations simply outspend the poor ones in terms of equipment, training camps (and drugs).

 

I'm sure that finances is also a factor to a certain extent with the Paralympics but it's far more of a level playing field.

Yes, there are constant battles over who should be in which class, as disability affects each and every person differently, but on the whole it's pretty balanced.

Having to cope with day-to-day problems as well as training for elite sport takes serious dedication.

 

Starts 24th Aug.

If you enjoy the Paralympics Rising Phoenix on Netflix is a must watch documentary about them.
