Sorry I cannot vote in this poll as I don't identify who or what is the TRNC.

seems this poll is as good as the one that came from the North, Halil are you listening

Iceman, that was very unsporting of you mate, to throw those insults at a lady.

If you had thrown them at SSBubbles, that would have been more fitting.

Stop it, my sides are splitting - could you have BEEN any funnier?

Another TC bashing post eh?

No. It is a "trnc" bashing post.

I hope you understand the difference between TCs, who are a Cypriot minority group, and the so called "trnc" which is an illegal entity created by means of foreign invasion, murder and ethnic cleansing on land that belongs to Republic of Cyprus (and on private land of which belongs by 80% to Greek Cypriots)

Supporting such regime is the equivalent of supporting the Nazi regime who did similar things during WWII. Would you complain about "German bashing" if somebody said somehting against the Nazis?

Piratis,

save your breath, she has already chosen her side, only the GC can do no good in her eyes.

As I said before she is total anti-GC and won't have anything said about the TCs. Given her constant trips over and her colusion with the TCs what more do you expect??

Why not move over there SSB, I am sure you would be better suited.

Ask yourself this. What was the first nation to send home an athlete for failing a drugs test?


Answer; GREECE!


Oh, the SHAME you must be feeling today O!!

Considering the number of British athletes that get pulled out before they even get there I wouldn't be too proud if I were you ....

When the rest of the world has been competing in Olympics for as long as the Greeks ...... we may be able to judge fairly, statistically, on who has cheated the most.

What, like this lot:

The Greek 200m sprinter Tassos Gousis has been recalled from Beijing after testing positive for a banned substance, Greek state television is reporting this evening.

The positive “A” sample has been confirmed by Greek athletics chairman Vassilis Sevastis. The result of the “B” sample is pending.

The drug is believed to be the highly potent steroid Methyltrienolone.

It is the same drug found in 11 Greek weightlifters, a champion swimmer as well as the 400m runner Dimitris Regas.

Read all about it on www.hellenicathletes.com (thats Greek by the way)!!!


Oh, like Bubbles said, "the shame, the shame"

But it wasn't their fault - it was a "set up" no doubt??

You seemed to have missed the significance of the fact that Greeks have been competing longer than anybody else.

It's fortunate the UK has nearly ten times more people to choose their athletes from as so many have bans for failed drugs tests ...

Dwain Chambers flees press after failed attempt to compete in Beijing Olympics

By Tom Knight
Last Updated: 1:28AM BST 22 Jul 2008

Dwain Chambers took refuge in old habits yesterday after hearing a judge declare that his bold attempt to compete at next month's Olympic Games in Beijing had been unsuccessful.

After months of happily talking up his chances of overturning the British Olympic Association's lifetime ban for convicted drug cheats, it was a grim-faced Chambers who bustled his way through the media melee outside the High Court and fled up an alleyway, away from the fallout of failure.

Perhaps tess has a vested interest in pursuing this line because being Irish ... she thinks she is immune from the shame the British can rightly feel too! What a "friend" you are to Bubbles

Once again this is not about the British athletes and their failed drugs tests.

However your are doing a good job muddying the waters for supporters of the "trnc" that constantly try to make out they are considered as a separate country, with world-wide recognition.

Irish Olympic Hopeful Fails Drug Test

Governing body Swim Ireland has revealed that Olympic hopeful Andrew Bree has failed a drugs test.

The Ireland swimmer tested positive for a banned substance at the European Short Course Championships in Hungary in December 2007.

The County Down man gained qualification for the 2008 Beijing Olympics in July last year for the men's 200m breaststroke at the US National Championships in Indianapolis.

We will see by the end of these Olympics who is doped and who is not. It is an even bet that most nations will have their quota of dopers and the percentages will remain even for all.

During the last Olympics one of the US teams was housed in Crete. The doping inspectors tried to get to them for testing and were blocked for "security reasons". No testing was carried out.

Another one for tess ...

.... only becuase it is such an interesting case

SWIMMING; Olympic Swimming Star Banned; Tampering With Drug Test Cited

By JERE LONGMAN

The career of Michelle Smith de Bruin, the Irish swimmer who won three gold medals at the 1996 Summer Olympics, appeared to end in disgrace yesterday when swimming's world governing body banned her from competition for four years after finding that she had manipulated a drug test by spiking her urine sample with alcohol.

The ruling landed a shattering blow in Ireland, where de Bruin, who competed as Michelle Smith in the Atlanta Games, had become a heroine as the country's first woman to win an Olympic gold medal. Now she has become one of the most accomplished athletes to be banned in a drug scandal.

Her case is equally compelling because it is relatively rare for an athlete to be caught cheating by tampering with a urine sample.
Drug experts suspect that the use of a substance such as alcohol to manipulate a drug sample is an attempt to mask forbidden performance-enhancing drugs that are used to improve strength and endurance.

I am not sure as to how you guys are debating the cheats....whats that gonna prove?...these days it's not as if it's state sponsored...It's an individual wrongful decision...you get caught and you pay the price...look at Ben Johnson...twice caught...

Boom I am not interested in the drugs cheats, but I will show Bubbles and tess how silly their throwing stones at Greece is ...

As a Biochemist I have my own views on the use of performance enhancing drugs but I would be debating on my own with that

I think this is just a diversion by the "trnc" cheerleaders ....
