MadIvan, sorry to here about Paula Radcliff, something similar happened to our Sonia O'Sullivan in Atlanta, not a good thing to happen to an athlete, but unlike Sonia, Paula won GOLD in the past - so don't be to hard, she is a good athlete, and a good sport, like our Sonia - and it is so obvious that neither have taken drugs, unlike our own traitor Michelle Smith-DeBruin, Paula and Sonia deserve medals, just for being sportswomen - in the truest sense.

BTW, that Chinawoman who won the 10,000m; she was so full of steroids, she robbed the Ethiopians of gold.

Paula Radcliffe is a great sportswoman.
She just should never have dreamed of running the 10,000m after running 22k's only this week. WHAT was she thinking? Or what pressure was she under?

And the UK media need to back off her, and let her be, ffs.

Better they focus their attentions in that young wee boxer (the 17 year old) who has qualified to fight for a medal.

Did you see him this evening I.T.? Irish boxing coach Billy Walsh (who is a friend of mine) was helping out in the UK corner, which I thought was quite nice. The BBC mentioned Billy after the fight, and mentioned his seven Irish titles.
