Another Irish Olympic showjumping drugs scandal??

[eurocrat]

I am distraught, but over the boxing, you know, a real sport, where real people fight. One of our best gold medal hopes has been beaten and that is far more disappointing than a little bit of cream being rubbed on a horse. Those of you expressing outrage at this mustn't have much to worry ye.

In fairness, it appears that guy has been cheating for years. He has admitted to using a premormance enhancers on his horses for 'the last few years'. He was just never caught as the tests have only recently changed to catch up with this. He is one of our top showjumpers. That is pretty embarrasing regardless of the sport, especially when it follows on from the Waterford Cyrstal scandal.

Nevertheless, the boxing was disappionting. Egan is probably our best hope for Gold now. A very classly fighter and I really hope he does it.

Fair play to Pat Hickey IOC Supremo who has yellow carded the Horse Leaping Fast Set. I hope he gets the la di da elitists kicked out of the Olympics and replace them with road bowlers.
