So it has been all over the news of late that Mr. Dwayne Chambers took drugs to make him run faster than the other people who run fast for a living. He has been punished for doing it, he is not allowed to run in the Beijing Olympics… or any Olympics until he is dead, at which point I imagine he will be pretty crap at running anyway.
All this despite the fact he has proven recently by winning the qualifying race that he is clearly the best (now) drug-free runner we have in this country. I realise he was a very naughty boy and he should be punished. But Great Britain is pretty rubbish at the Olympics and we really need people what can run right fast to be there running right fast for us.
We as a nation are hugely loyal sports fans, we stick with our rubbish football, tennis, cricket and athletics teams through thick and thin, but surely there is only so much we can take.
So do you think Dwayne should just be given a gentle slap on the wrists and then be told to go and bring home the gold medal? Or do you think we should make an example of the cheating drug taking scumbag and show those athletes they are not going to get away with it?
p.s. I know I haven’t updated for ages, but on the plus side look how many more hits I get when I don’t update this thing. This blog is way more popular if I’m not involved in it in any way.
