well said ryan

local sprint sensation ryan scott summed up the mood of the athletics fraternity perfectly in todays edition of the evening post when he stated "hopefully everybody can beat dwain". nothing personal dwain but you cheated, and in doing that you have deprived honest hard working athletes like ryan out of not only an income but international places and championships as well. if he came last that would save all the furore over whether or not he goes to the world championships. thats what my heart says any way, but my head says that dwain chambers will not go away that quietly and he certainly wont come last. mores the tragedy because he was such a naturally talented sprinter. maybe though that was what tipped him over the edge in the first place, being that close to world championship gold but not actually being good enough. not that i am in any way trying to condone what he did and he should be banned because he was not available for drugs tests while he was with nfl europe

maybe one day i'll be available for the world championships? it doesn't hurt to have dreams and you certainly don't know whats around the corner in this sport? hard work and dedication can take you a long way in athletics as long as you listen to the right people and you can identify the events that you're suited to and a whole load of other ifs and buts.....
