Thousands of exceptionally fit and attractive ‘alpha’ males and females, average age of 23 or so, are thrown together in a walled-off wonderland of pampering and ego-stroking. They have denied themselves every pleasure throughout their lengthy, monastic, maniacal training regimens. What do you think they’re going to do when the competition is over and the valve is taken off the pressure cooker they’ve lived in for at least four years? If ever there was a time and place for sowing wild oats, this would be it.
The lame excuse of the IOC made me do it won’t count for much during their particular judgments.
