dwain chambers....

....is it the right decision? please text me with your opinions...personally i think it was the right one. why? whereas at the world indoors they made a special case of victimising him by making one rule for him and one for the other drugs cheats in the team like carl myerscough, the life time olympic ban applied to all british athletes and personally i think there should be a longer ban and a life time olympic ban for ALL athletes of ALL nationalities. he has served his time yes and there is now no reason why he shouldn't be able to run again, but just not at the olympics. and what about the clean athletes that he has deprived of places in national squads is that fair? and while we're on the subject perhaps ian huntley might want to claim for 'restraint of trade' because he can't work any more. you just never know what doors it may have opened if they got the judgement wrong. people should be forgiven though and we shouldn't continually castigate dwain for succumbing to temptation-that can happen to any body as we're all human and the prizes and riches that were dangling in front of him would be tempting for any body.

went training last night and promptly wished i hadn't afterwards. ran like a fucking cart horse as usual...mike reckons i am running well, but i'm not quick enough for my liking. yes my recovery has got bettter but the 800 speed just isn't there and probably never will be again. three 800's followed by one 400 at the end of the session. its a lot harder than it sounds because you're running them at 1500 meter pace which takes its toll on your legs come the end of the evening. for some reason i find it very hard to look at what i run on the track in a positive light. maybe its because i'm just better on the cross country and road, which incidently i have always thought anyway, but surely even a pb deserves some recognition from my self, but i just think a pb at my speed shows that i was shit in the first place
