I didn't pay much attention to it from the beginning but he's another one along with Gatlin that you hope they're done now.

Everytime they pan to him with the Canadian flag on his shirt, I pronounce it like the TV show with that horrible rapper Aubrey in a wheelchair.

I have a feeling they were robbed, but just not where they said they were robbed--it'll come out today, and let's hope it's not too embarrassing for the US.

I've heard he was wasted at a club/bar and was F bombing everyone and being obnoxious and the security wouldn't let him leave. Also heard there is video of him tearing down a gas station bathroom door.

Either way, the guy sounds like a complete dbag.

I think "they had fun, they made a mistake, life goes on" is going to be my new motto.

Women's 4x100 relay gets impeded by Brazil and didn't make the final. They appealed, won, and now will run in a time trial at 7. They will be alone on the track with a time to beat. They beat it, they make the final.

Best comment I've seen about that: That official is applying to be the new SEC Commissioner.

Way to effing go Helen Maroulis! Down 4-1 with 1:30 left. Ends up winning 7-4. Hell of a finish to a match. Helen is into the semis.

Why'd USA women's 4x100 just run by themselves?

Fuck Lochte, Feigen and the other two swimmers. Way to ruin how the other 500 US Olympic athletes are perceived and treated.
