Olympic Questions

Is the Orgy of Jingoism drug and GM free and Amateur?

Enlighten me. How are tennis playing Williams in the Olympics? Are they so Rich they have never accepted the money they money they have won on the Professional circuit? Have a corrupt USer's Olympic Committee manipulated contracts so that they can enter people trained as Professionals in Amateur Games?

Newscaters are busily telling us that an anatomical freak is the greatest Olympian of all time. This opens a lovely can of worms. Any country wanting future swimming Golds must be trying to get DNA samples so that they can do genetic engineering to breed the swimming winners for four Olympics hence.

When five or six such swimmers turn up, will there be DNA testing similar to drug testing ? If GM is proven will there be disqualification or an argument over gene patent rights?

You must understand that this is a tirade against New Labour who introduced legislation that prevented me training to achieve Olympic standards at the Olympic Sport I once represented my Counrty at. And they are presently looting resources from my Country to build the facilities for the London Olympics. We might have some fun there.
