I had to laugh when I was reading the BBC news website the other day. It was reporting on two competitors who had tested positive for banned substances and been chucked out the competition. One guy was stripped of his medals in pistol shooting. WHY do you need performance enhancing drugs where you're basically standing still?? And the other was a female gymnast who had come 82nd on the floor exercises. Surely, if you only come in 82nd then you must be using the wrong kind of drugs!!!
Phelps has won his 8th gold medal at these Olympics and the whole of the US is justifiably proud of his achievement. Team GB is also doing really well (they've won almost as many as Phelps has on his own!), but we're not really getting to see their achievements!
