So Germany doesn't just cheat in the hobby market.

I don' saw her cheating coptor, even not germany ,
some old fart couldn't press the timer button fast enough and that's
a bit embarrassing, but these things happen.
If you like unfair practices, take a look to the china badminton team,
enjoy.

The Daily Mail was never renowned for its accuracy really. They take great pains to emphasise that Hine was actually a German riding in the Brit team - and bury the bit about the Brit women's sprint relay team being disqualified for one of their riders shaving time by starting before she should (but that of course was an accident)

Originally posted by mabaa I say the Olympic idea today, is a big and corrupt moneymaking machine.

Let me tell you a secret - for the past century, it always has been(also it was used for political reasons)

Even when it was supposed to be 'amateur only' people were being 'sponsored' for training (and had all their expenses covered, down to housing, food and spending money)

Copter get a grip mate. the Daily Mail will rot your brain.
It is the worst written, most raciest piece of cra.p ever published (sorry Fatman)
