Not as dodgy as the Women's 800m world record, that's stood since 1983!

It's the women's discus records that look the dodgiest to me. Look at the state of this list.

A timely article on the BBC website - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/ar ... lrn9re3z5o
And a reminder that it wasn't just the East of Europe that doped and in many ways the athletes themselves were the victims.....

"These are all harmless drugs. All athletes take them. It's really nothing special."
That was what German heptathlete Birgit Dressel, who finished ninth in the 1984 Olympic Games, once told her mother.
Sadly, those words couldn't have been further from the truth. On 8 April 1987, after taking medication to help with a bad back, Dressel's body went into allergic-toxic shock, leading to rapid organ failure.
After two days of agony in Mainz hospital, she died at the age of 26.
Her autopsy revealed traces of more than 100 drugs in her system, including anabolic steroids that she had been taking for years, while her medical history showed she had been injected with at least 40 different substances throughout her career, with one practitioner alone administering 400 injections.

That sounds like a plot from an episode of the 1980s set The Americans!
Duncan, as a Cowboys fan, what do you think of the biggest NFL contract in history being handed to your QB?
In other NFL news, I watched the Redzone coverage of the early KOs for about an hour and I'm still buzzing now........ Oh, the Seahawks won as well.

Is Ed Woodward in charge of the wages department at the Cowboys?
Your cousin is obviously a skilled QB, you must be proud?

Banner night in Boston as the Celtics raise their 18th.
The Knicks should be a tough prospect this evening and will be over the regular season as well as they have recruited some fine starters.
