Nice to see some anti Eastern European bias this time in the morning.
What's the Tampon ad? Something about running and legs? Seriously, the Olympics are wank; it's costing us billions, for some upper-class twits to pretend they're still at school sports day. I'm surprised there's not an egg and spoon race, or a Spacehopper race.
This isn't an answer btw.

find a tofu-wearing hand-wringer and ask them whether they think that being of Afro or Afro-caribbean origin coveys a genetic advantage upon sprinters. Places them in a terrible ethical dilemma and then they tend to explode in a shower of artisan bio yoghurt and spelt.
