yes i noticed that - very bad - also the chinese judges can be funny the taekwondo bronze fight i scored at 4-3 to the the english kid and he lost 5-1 !! the impartial crowd members were booing. i would have been embarrassed to win that if i had been the chinese kid.

[ADR147]

[PaulTheSoave]

Beerbaum, I cant understand he was allowed ever to enter again. Disgraceful!But then we have a UK gold medalist who was banned as well and did win a gold again.

[ADR147]

Of course not.

yes and actually all credit to him it was not his fault and you could see on his face he knew the score was wrong.

Correction!

Ohuruogu's Personal Best of 49.61 ranks her third amongst British women 400 m runners, behind Olympic medallists Kathy Cook and Katharine Merry. She was banned for a year in 2006 for missing three out-of-competition drugs tests.

Nearly the same.
