It's a really poor show from the testing authority.

Really bad.

So the Olympic authorities are allowing a competitor who has tested positive for a banned substance to continue in the competition.

Absolute farce. Makes a mockery of the whole testing process.

She shared a glass with her grandad who is on heart medication. Yeah right.

I agree. If she wins a medal the other medalists won't be able to receive theirs on the Olympic stage because of the ongoing investigation. It can never be the same just getting your medal away from the competition, why should they be denied that opportunity?

What a joke, unbelievable the Olympic authorities should be banned themselves for allowing that farce.

The drugs cheat comes 4th and she fell over (several times.)

Team GB guaranteed a medal in Men's curling.

Oh good. does that mean that the other get to receive their medals now?

She's only 15, how can they have let someone so young get involved in drugs and the mess that's followed?

I enjoy watching the curling, theres a hell of a lot to it. I think our womens team will do well to medal, despite making the last four. Our guys look like silver may be the best we can hope for, but you never know!

'Working' from home today, so managed to watch most of the semi final of our girls v the Turnips. What an amazing match, there are ten 'ends' (games) and we were 4-0 down afetr the first, all square at halfway and then 11-8 ahead with one end to go. It finished 11-11 but we beat them in the sudden death. Well done Ladies.....just the Japs in the final now, who beat us last time for bronze.

Thats both male and female teams in the finals......amazing stuff! (finally)

Some horrendous falls in the half pipe, luckily all seem to be okay. The GB guy looked like he should've smashed his back in but somehow got up and did his final run :hail:
