    Tested positive 3 times but claimed it was due to cough medicine, apparently. https://www.nbcsports.com/olympics/news/ben-johnson-carl-lewis-doping-track-and-field

    Graham Thorpe dies aged 55

    One of those rare batsmen that I enjoyed watching. There was definitely a time that I wanted one of those Kookaburra Bubble bats he used.

    ***Official*** England vs Sri Lanka 21st August-10th September 2024

    Cox has been in pretty decent form this season tbf. Sam Cook still not fit for 5-dayers, or has that gone out the window since Atkinson went well?

    I need to find a replay of this 10,000m. Smudge recommended it too.

    Casual 2hr marathons where each km is being run sub 3 minutes. It’s insane.

    Question on ban announcements

    If it helps, he was banned multiple times from Planet Rugby and each time returned with the same approach of being vaguely acceptable for a while before going off on the same codswallop again.

    :wub: Michael Johnson. Great athlete and commentator.

    Question on ban announcements

    He was just such a punishing poster. There's nothing particularly wrong with lists of films, scenes, music etc. but he went about them in such a way that was much more 'I'm right, you're wrong' about it which made actually debating the lists almost impossible.

    Enough of the bullshit about this being a Gold ‘forever and ever’ in the rowing. There’s no need for such rubbish and meaningless embellishments. They won the gold, that’s what matters.

    Invent a new Olympic event

    As I said in another thread, Stare Outs. Thought I might even have a chance in this as I can definitely go a number of minutes without blinking, but I see the world record is an hour and 31 minutes. I could see various techniques - just the hard stare, the distraction attempts. Could be quite...

    Great fun watching a sport that I generally don’t care about and people I don’t know winning but still getting excited about it. Whisky helps though.

    If you trained for five years…

    Solution. Get laser quest added as an Olympic event. You’ve got 5 years to make it happen.
