Not while on the bike, no. They have to make it look some way believable, unlike this evening's escapades.

Fair point.
I'll stick to watching clean sports like Rugby, soccer and the GAA.

It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Whatever about the GAA, football and rugby are full of drug cheats. Anyone who doesn't believe that is very naive.

Turns out Ciara Mageean's time for finishing 10th would have been good enough for gold in 7 of the last 8 1500 metre World finals. We must be in a golden age of athletics. Or something.

So dare I ask, are we suspecting that everyone these days is on PEDs, including Mageean?
Seems an average enough runner in terms of world level, doubt she’d be winning world gold if she’d been born 6 years earlier?

A 10000m runner won it.

She went at a mad pace because she knew the kickers would beat her. it resulted in them all pushing themselves and 7 of them got PB’s or records of some description. Those races are normally tactical (slow) and then they kick with 2/300 to go. Mad race.

What you need is a steeping generalization.

The Brits attitude around drugs is galling. The BBC in particular would sicken you. The likes of Radcliffe sitting on the panel, looking up to the ceiling and praying nobody asks her, as the rest hammer drugs cheats and hail the likes of Farah.

They've no credibility. Radcliffe sues whoever asks her the difficult questions. It's the colonial mindset.

I heard Michael Johnson spoke very well about it last night - although I didn't see it myself.

Watching too much of it on the BBC managed to totally put me off athletics and the olympics. I just don't watch it.

Fanatically jingoistic,hypocritical lunatics.

Watched the Lympics on American tv once.
Million times worse.
Only showed events that Americans won.
Were gutted when the Russian swimmer beat the American favourite.
