I believe it is not GB's fault, or only a bit.
I believe people are turning away from the
whole Olympic scam. The spectacle is not worth
the price of admission.

Dead right. But... tv coverage means that admission costs little or
nothing. I went to the road race - free - the time trial - free- and
nothing else. Watched every minute of the track cycling on tv, free.
(Well, tv licence, already paid for, 37p per day. Brilliant value.)

Yes the track cycling was great and once the SAS have hunted down and butchered
that ****** of a commissionaire that stole two gold medals from Team GB all will
be right with the world.

Couldn't agree more. Though I did see a snap of Vicky's wheel a teensy
bit ahead of Jess on the back straight line...

I'd very much like to see the Meares/Pendleton round one final sprint
again - but as the footage was all OBS supplied even my (internal) BBC
sources are pretty much useless.
