When I was a kid growing up, I couldn’t wait for the Olympics Games, Tour De France etc. These days, I don't bother because of all the drugs that have ruined these sports.
Now swimming has gone one better by bypassing the drugs with the stupid new swim suits. They might as well let them wear wings so they can fly from one end of the pool to the other. Swimming is now another sport stuffed up by stupid officials who are more worried about their sponsors than the integrity of the sport.
The medals should not go to the swimmers but to the swimwear designers who have allowed these swimmers to go so fast.
Years ago, when an Aussie broke a world record, it was front page news but just a few days ago, an Aussie broke the 100m breaststroke world record and it didn’t even make the back page. In fact, I don't even remember his name!
The English Channel rules have remained the same for 135 years. Hopefully no one will turn up to Dover with one of these swim suits.
Question: Can anybody tell me of a sport where they don't cheat? If so, I would like to follow it.
There have been a few idiots who have swam across the Channel in a wetsuit but they have not been acknowledged and rightly so. At least the pilots have taken their money and shame on them for putting their names on the wall of the White Horse pub which is rapidly running out of room.
They will soon take down the relay team names and also those of the cheats in wetsuits to make way for the solo swimmers.
Kevin flies out this week and all his Black-Ice friends wish him all the best. You can follow his progress on www.ais-doverstraits.co.uk .
Sandra will text our group with his starting time and then you can follow his progress but clicking onto his boat which will be either “Gallivant” or “Sea Satin” [I will confirm next week] Updates of his position are given every 10 minutes.
