    They are talking about it on +4, so do yis think some of the athletes are taking enhancing performance drugs,

    they were talking about providing a sample, how it is very hard to do sometimes if you are dehydrated,

    what about giving a hair sample, just a wee pluck and job done (unless your bald)

    but then if they are on loads of different types of drugs because of their disabilities how does it get siphoned.

    Paralympic games are brilliant. What people with disabilities can achieve, is unreal. Fair dues to them. I'm sure there are drugs used, that are hard to detect. Like the ordinary olympics.

    On another note, I think the paralympics should be renamed the English olympics/ team GB olympics. GB team this GB f*kin team that. F*k off like, there are other nationalities competing who have f*k all to do with team GB. Theres always an excuse as to why someone from team GB looses. No excuses please love, they ran sh1t and low and behold someone from another country ran faster. Get over it. And, as for the ads on C4!!!!!!!! wtf!!!!!!!!! Just as well I have sky plus or I wouldn't be watching.

    Right.....so when you're using the accromyn GB, what does it stand for? General Bicuits?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,184 ✭✭✭3ndahalfof6


    I reckon the Brits spent 9 billion on creating the games and 11 billion on the wonder drug,

    they will put seventy sleben zillion into the economy from this, they know there shiit.

    While I am delighted for the GB team in the able body games and the disabled body games, I smell a rat, I dont think they will show the same type of performances in the next 12 months,

    how the fook do you all of a sudden become great, like they bypassed shiite and unlucky, to become winners, it wont last, someones hair needs to be pulled out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,418 ✭✭✭loobylou


    If they're prepared to break their own bones in order to enhance performance its a no-brainer that some will take drugs to do the same.

    The Brits have really gotten behind team GB in the paralympics but at the same time they do produce a lot of medical equipment in Britain, one of the worlds biggest and most well known wheelchair manufacturers (RGK) is based in the UK and have put a serious push on these Olympics. A lot of the worlds wheelchair rugby teams are probably using British gear so I'm not all that surprised there's a lot of press for the paralympics. It's not only about supporting athletes and the UK, they're also showcasing British technology on a global level.
