Find me a sugar daddy and I'll get in shape and buy top horses to compete in show jumping or dressage for Jamaica. Get Lee-Chin to sponsor an ice hockey team and I'll donate my son to compete for Jamaica. He should also sponsor MTG's daughter to compete in equestrian...eventing maybe. Mi too fraid to try it.

LONDON (Reuters) - Jamaican athletes, who have dominated the sprint events at the London Olympics should now expect more visits by drugs testers, former anti-doping chief Dick Pound said on Saturday.

Usain Bolt stormed to victory in both the 100 and 200 meters with Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce snatching gold in the women's 100 as the Caribbean island consolidated its domination of the blue riband events.

&quot;No, they are one of the groups that are hard to test, it is (hard) to get in and find them and so forth,&quot; former World Anti-Doping Agency chief Pound told Reuters Television when asked whether he was happy with the way Jamaica tested its athletes.

&quot;I think they can expect, with the extraordinary results that they have had, that they will be on everybody's radar,&quot; said Pound, an International Olympic Committee member.
Jamaica won a clean sweep in the men's 200 with Yohan Blake and Warren Weir winning silver and bronze behind Bolt.

Blake was also second to Bolt in the 100 and the duo also combined with Nesta Carter and Michael Frater to retain the 4x100 relay title in a world record time. It was Bolt's third gold for the second successive Games.

Veronica Campbell-Brown of Jamaica also claimed bronze in the women's 100m behind Fraser-Pryce.

Pound said the IOC was still a long way away from winning the fight against doping with 11 athletes being expelled from the Games since the start of the Olympic period on July 16.

The rest here

is what i was thinking too. but here is the part of the article that made me crack up... aye sah...

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">&quot;I think it is too soon to say. I think we are gaining and getting better at science,&quot; said Pound, WADA's first president.

&quot;We are starting to get better at smart testing. But there is a long way to go yet. In Churchillian terms, it is not the beginning of the end, but the end of the beginning.&quot;

<span style="font-weight: bold">Victor Conte, convicted owner of the now-defunct BALCO laboratory that was at the centre of a global doping scandal, had said earlier this week that 60 percent of athletes at the Games were on drugs.

&quot;He is probably more likely to know than we are. I hope it is not 60 per cent, but it is certainly a lot more than we are catching,&quot; Pound said.</span>

&quot;The drug testing that will be done here is first class. I would not expect many cases at the Olympics because if you test positive here you fail not a drugs test but an IQ test.&quot;</div></div>

Re: Jamaica Olympics Central

Glenroy Gilbert sounds like a Jamaican name to me. He is the coach for the Canadian 4 X 100 relay team....maybe the whole track and field team. I am not sure.

I found out why they were bawling. They thought they had one the bronze as they came in 3rd. They started celebrating and so did the Canadian newscasters and fans. They ended up getting DQ'd because one of the toe of one of the runners went slightly on the lane. . Give me a flippin' break. They just collapsed on the ground and bawled and bawled and bawled.

Anyway, I am glad it was the White guy (from P.E.I.) who did it. He has come forwarded and admitted it. If it was one of the Black athletes, we would never hear the end of it . Anyway let me see what I can find out about Glenroy Gilbert. CTV is about to interview the Canadian 4 X 100 team and their coach....Glenroy Gilbert. The team has 3 Black sprinters and one White.

Soon come.

Nope he is from Trinidad.

Bruny is originally from Haiti...I did meet him. We were on the same flight on the way back from Vancouver and he was kind enough to give me an autographed photo for my son.

Notice no one every called any of THEM traitor or sellout because they competed for Canada....that only applies to Black female Caribbean athletes.

On August 9, 2008, during a conversation in French, when asked about whether the IOC was embarrassed to be affiliated with China's recent political history, he was quoted as replying: &quot;We must not forget that 400 years ago, Canada was a land of savages, with scarcely 10,000 inhabitants of European origin, while in China, we're talking about a 5,000-year-old civilization.&quot;[14]
Two months later, the Aboriginal advocacy group LandInSights asked for him to be suspended from the International Olympic Committee for the remark. Pound responded that it was a clumsy remark that was taken out of context and that in the particular French expression used, &quot;un pays de sauvages&quot;, the French sauvages was not equivalent to English &quot;savages&quot;.
