I’m really loving the theme/design of your blog. Do you ever run into any web browser compatibility problems? A few of my blog audience have complained about my website not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great in Chrome. Do you have any suggestions to help fix this issue?
It is hard to judge the athletes when they were initially duped into doping and when you are doing what you love doing, how can you then back out when you are forced. \it was interesting to hear that the german swimmer who met the USA swimmer did not have any regrets. as far as she was concerned, he worked hard for it. alos ruth Fuchs is now a politician – how many disgraced Uk athletes would be allowed to continue if that was the case. e.g. if seb coe was exposed say for blood doping because he was known to have lot sof blood viruses when he was unwell – would he loose his status? I think he would – this is just an scenario and not true as far as i know. Christie was a tv star and has never been used again since his ban. I am not saying the UK has a higher moral compass but I would expect that a tarnished reputation would not be allowed in political circles over here. Excellent film
