First gear lubrication on the new forum

Sun Yang, 8 year suspension following an appeal by WADA to the Court of Arbitration.

My son loves his swimming and even at 11 1/2 he still wants to become an Olympic swimmer when he grows up, so to see Yang’s behaviour punished (when FINA were too cowardly to do anything about it) gives me alot of hope about the future of the sport.

Yeah I saw that this morning as well. I’m sure they will let him weasel his way out of it though. They won’t be able to hear his appeal until after the Olympics or some shit like that. I’ve got no confidence at all in international bodies, especially when it involves a Chinese athlete.

Still it’s great news so far. A lot of people owe an apology to Mack Horton

In fairness, they’ve cracked down on Russia pretty strongly. Hopefully the international bodies will actually start protecting the sports rather than the athletes.

They should ban training.

Some countries have facilities that others don’t giving them an unfair advantage.

what about breathing? I don’t think it’s fair if some athletes are allowed to train in areas almost completely free from pollution.

Maybe the Chinese lad needed those drugs to counter poor air quality?

If this is some sort of joke then I vote we bring back the verbothamergiest (i think that’s how you spell it)

On a similar note, it’s been a while since we’ve had to ban someone :frowning: I miss those days

IT is without a doubt the most frustrating thing on the planet to learn by yourself, shit is never easy, and never works as it’s supposed to.

But when you crack it, better than putting one in the top corner from 30 yards.

am i the only one that spent time trying to figure out what it was?

I read it a few times as well. IT, as in Information Technology, right?

Google is your friend.

Don’t think I have come across a single engineer that doesn’t use it constantly to work out how to do something. Chances are what you are trying to do and the problems you run into have been solved by someone else.

That’s how I got my undergrad. Unfortunately the program I was using isn’t super popular, or just sucked for Google searches

It’s been five years since I renewed my drivers license.

Just did it online in less than two mins without having to step foot in an RTA.
