Guest Kahran Ramsus Report post Posted July 26, 2002 First of all, any Americans should ignore this, but the Commonwealth Games are underway from Manchester. 1 Gold & 1 Silver for Canada before the Games were officially opened. What did everyone think of the Opening Ceremonies? Personally, I felt that it was much better than the last few Olympics openers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Vanilla Midget Report post Posted July 26, 2002 i missed it, though i will prolly burn the midnight oil and watch a few events. 1 gold and 1 bronze, could australia go nuts like 4 years ago in KL? also, the hypocrisy of the australian sporting authorities was again highlighted by the reaction to the positive drug test by that shooter.

Guest treble charged Report post Posted July 26, 2002 Are those the only medals that were given out before the Opening Ceremonies? If so, a 3 way tie for first place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Phr33k Report post Posted July 28, 2002 I watched that press conference with the Canadian who got busted with a banned substance in his blood. That was seriously one of the saddest things I've ever seen. BTW, he had 3.06 mg of the stuff in his blood, and the max allowed is 2. For comparison, Canadian field hockey player Steve Vezina was caught at the last Games with the same stuff, except he had 16 mg. That's a fuckin' shame, right there. If it was in the doctor-prescribed supplements he was taking, then I demand to know how the fuck this quack got his license. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dr. Wrestlingphysics Report post Posted July 28, 2002 There's still no reason to cry like a baby! He's still got the B test and if he is as innocent as he says, it should be clear. So far, the medals race is a three between England, Canada, and Australia, pretty much as predicted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
