Has any other Irish Olympian come close to winning three gold medals and a bronze? What a glorious week that was at the Georgia Tech Aquatic Center.

It was a glorious week for someone, it wasn’t a glorious week for Ireland by any means and an infamous one for the Olympics.

Does anyone give a shit about these Olympics? I couldn’t be bothered watching any of it. Even if Russia was banned from it (doubt that will happen) I’d imagine most of the athletes there are drugged up to the gills anyway.

There is a 50 meter pool at U.L.

Almost certain that wasn’t there twenty years ago.

You’re right it’s there about 10 or 12 years. I didn’t pick up on the context.

Interesting that adam goodes and David pocock are the two named in that.
Do you reckon that article was an Australian version?

Would it not be as simple as testing the whole lot of them before they go to the games to see if anything comes up or is the insinuation that long term doping has led them to be in a position now that they’re ‘illegally’ so far ahead of the game that they wouldn’t need enhancers in Rio? I think this is what Kimmage is alleging in relation to Sky Cycling as well.

Yes. The benefits from doping remain long after you stop.
