The Olympics Thread, London 2012, Games of the XXX Olympiad, 27th July - 12th August

[Phyllis Stein]

When these Games end there is going to be an almighty inquest in cycling about this level of success. The GB team have been fending off questions regarding bike and kit technology for the past week or so. Bear in mind all the hardware has to be commercially available for other nations to use.

I dont think we've heard the end of this, and I doubt this dominance will be allowed to happen again.

The Secret Squirrel outlet is based in the Arctic, they dont advertise that, but thats where the gear is available.

How soon the veneer of civility slips when the Fatherland's honour is questioned.

I think this is what Morrissey was getting at, tbf.

Couldn't care less about nationality, you're saying they cheated. It wouldn't surprise me at all if you're not simply trolling as you so often are, but if you can't believe anyone does great things without cheating then it's a sad existence.

I'm astounded by a cycling afficianado questioning the possibility that unfair advantage has been had in...erm...cycling.

I have to put it to you Bruce: isn't it you on the wind up? Or does your objectivity fly out of the window when you have your union jack face paint on?

Incredible.

Hoy receives gold, floods of tears, even Olympic LEGENDS have emotions and can be overwhelmed. Can we Knight him again please?
