Djokovic has a chance to become Goat hopefully murray will stop him. To many dopers in the 100m it has taken the shine of the event.

Sprinters have been doping since the 80's, look at Ben Johnson and Flo Jo - she still holds the women's 100m record.

Apparently Gustavo Kuerten lighting the flame.

400m women's record is crazy, I believe in bolt though, hopefully he does the business and there will be no talk of doping.

Think you will find most of the 'top' cheats are American .... Lance Armstrong, Marion Jones, Tyson Gay, check out this Daily Mail story from London 2012 ....,

Of the eight finalists six should have been banned .... wow

The Russians are just a 'political' target .... pretty much all sportsmen/women cheat .... you can't win any other way ....

[Cripps]

Some pubber lights the flame.

Shame Pele wasn't well enough

[Cripps]

Impressive firework display.

[Callum]
