We have a heightened sense of our own importance on this island - most people in China don't even know we exist! anyway - what's the answer?....
"National shame"
We are "they"
No the Ukrainian bronze medal for the Heptathlon was pulled...there were I think 4 incidents before this.

They all rode Olympics cheats.
[quote=returning officer]Are you saying that she was not properly tested at the Atlanta games? Because she was tested and, unlike our horses,she passed when it mattered.[/quote:2vty68ij]Not to mention syringes of Jameson............She evaded testing in all of the times previous to that Olympics..She didn't fill out the "training location document" ...It's public. They cuoldn't catch up with her. She evaded.......
The amount of half ones in her sample, FINA could have been excused for thinking that Ireland had sent out to Atlanta a medley team of Shane McGowan, Richard Harris, Noel Gallagher and Father Jack Hackett.
She was tested, but not in an out of competition context in 1996 or in 1997, which I assume (from the big deal FINA made of it at the time) casts a technical doubt over her negative test result in Atlanta. It's alleged she did a Rio Ferdinand on it and avoided out of competition testing until the FINA testers doorstepped her in January 1998.
Didn't Diarmuid Gavin try that last year - I think it was a load of cack - riding bareback doesn't automatically convey the ability to showjump. You're right in pointing to a pool of possible talent that is being ignored though.If they'd let the Travellers get hooched up before their fights, they'd hae won too...The travellers got beaten in their second fight. It was the working class dubs and the Fenian that did the business for us.Once again the Irish bourgeoisie has disgraced us.
Thank fk for the Travellers, working class Dubs and the wee Belfast Fenian for making us proud and forget that we live in a country run by pampered cheats and crooks
... and if we'd left the horsey events with the plain people of Ireland also, we wouldn't be having this discussion at all
Down with the bourgeoisie!!

I would have thought the answer was:- "They all drugged their horses."
Christ almighty, are there any horses in Ireland that aren't drugged up to the gills..who've you've got training them..Amy Winehouse?
heh - like that one about Lestor Piggot's cell mate riding a Derby winner!
We are "they"
Why is it silly to assume that the rider doesn't have 24/7 access to the Horses activities? That he is not visually observing the horse and accounting 100% for it's food and water 24 hours a day seven days a week? Sounds like a given to me....
With the amount of doping issues arising in the equestrian events it is likely either a miscommunication issue surrounding veterinarian care and what treatments are allowed, cheating, or deliberate doping of rivals to get them disqualified.
I find it hard to believe Irish showjumpers would be stupid enough to deliberately dope (to performance enhance) after Athens. We have form in showjumping, we shouldn't need it - for a start.
