Why have the Olympics lost their appeal, or have they?

[Catfish Alley]

A chunk of stuff is scheduled to happen in their prime time as they pay comfortably the most for TV rights.

East coast time, I bet. Oh well.

 

[GreyCrow]

Lukin ran drugs from his tuna business, has convictions. .

Can you please supply links to these convictions. I see 1 conviction in 1986 where he was fined $96 . Please supply facts supporting your assertion he ran drugs from his tuna business

None of the swimming finals happen before 9.03pm New York time.

Which means Seven will show them live in the morning/lunchtime, then replay them a thousand times the rest of the day

 

[Catfish Alley]

Ok cool. I'll be home for those finals then.

Then retract or edit your assertion on Dean Lukin

 

[little graham]

Interesting story.

Regardless of what was found at the AIS, weightlifting could not be in a sorrier state if the program moved to South Australia.

Another day, another phial-OK accusation, this time that drug paraphernalia had been found in a room used by members of the Australian team during a training camp at the Australian Institute of Sport.

Meanwhile, Belinda van Tienen will compete for Australia in the 69-kilogram class despite accusations she distributed banned drugs. She denies the allegations and can compete while no charges have been laid.Which is just as well, given the Australian team is shrinking faster than Dean Lukin did on his famous diet because of the withdrawals and disqualifications of suspect or banned lifters

Then retract or edit your assertion on Dean Lukin

He got busted with a few ounces of pot, an ounce of hash and done for resisting arrest. he plead guilty.Here you are acting like a right tosser over a convicted druggy. i must of upset you somewhere else and you're really struggling with it.

 

[GreyCrow]

Once again nothing on Lukin or your assertion he was drug running

1986. He was fined $96 at a time when SA laws allowed for the possession of minor amounts

Retract your assertion he was a drug runner

Um don't you get high every day?

 

[Scotland]

Only to stave off leprosy.

 

[Milang_Panthers]

Still pretty excited for it. Looking forward to the marathons in particular and probably only avoid watching if the swimming comes on.

 

[Perth gal]

I'm pumped. Been brushing up on all the gymnastics pre stuff. I'm such a girl.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Want it to start so Kitty Chiller stops being headline news.

 

[JoseMourinho]

Watch out for Transvestites in Rio.

 

[GreyCrow]

Watch out for Transvestites in Rio.

Any in the 800m?

 

[JoseMourinho]

Any in the 800m?

No, I was referring to the tourists who got attacked by one!

Want it to start so Kitty Chiller stops being headline news.

Can't understand the hatred for Kitty, am looking forward to the games an unleashing a plethora of multis & the men's big boys in the weightlifting & male gymnastics

 

[Neese]

She's a bitch and slightly crazy

 

[The Passenger]

I don't think there is hate for her. But she is the chef de mission (which is a wanky enough term in itself*) and she has had more publicity than probably every Australian athlete combined.

*not her fault she's taken up a position with a wanky name

 

[Bomberboyokay]

It's like if we kept hearing about the person who books hotels and gyms and so forth for the Ashes tour. And we didn't care that much about cricket.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

She also seems like an annoying rich eastern suburbs person. Type who'd kick up a formal protest about a 6-unit development because the growing population should all live in the outer suburbs or elsewhere nimby. Then lobby the government to increase funding for giant slalom so Tiffany from Canterbury can achieve her Olympic dream which definitely isn't frivolous spending.
