Okay. But that doesn't change the fact Paul Hamm didn't win if the scores were correctly tallied.
There is no one single failed doping test to China's swimmers in all the Olympics it has participated and that's all it counts.
Failed analogy. No gymnasts are known to change their routines on the fly in Olympic competitions.
LOL ... were you a cry baby in 2004?
You have no proof. Cached website content is not admissible evidence, according to IOC. At best this age controversy is debatable. What's not...
I don't think this whole thing can be more ridiculous than the Paul Hamm saga. The only thing more notable is the sanctimoniousness exhibited to...
Even if there is some speculation on my part, it's well-founded. The article doesn't say the Uighur couple went to Beijing for a kick-ass...

That is as much credible as the "no blacks are allowed in Beijing bars during the Olympics" tabloid junk posted by some idiot not long ago. How...
Not so sure about Uighurs, but Mongolians are believed to be quite good at wrestling. I think China did send athletes from Inner Mongolia to...
Uh-umm, Sammy, I only speak for myself. Being more of an advocate in equal opportunity, I'd do away with some of the policies catering...
CommieWin, you fail to understand, that is the beauty of demand-side economics. Despite somewhat louder than usual noises here and there around...
strategery
As the #2 seed, the Chinese pair lost to the #1 seed in the men's double finals, so there is no shame about it. Good match nonetheless, so...
