Yet another great sporting event reduced to a meaningless spectacle .

I used to enjoy watching the olympics but it has, like so many sports, been tainted by cheats and liars and just doesn't hold the same appeal to me as a viewer anymore.

Good feature in the Guardian today the crux of which is that with a 'home' olympics just round the corner, a number of UK athletes on the cusp of being good enough to qualify for the team might be tempted into drug use in order to make the grade. I guess we're should get used to hearing more about this the closer we get to 2012
