All for banning the drug cheats but I would also ban lottery funding as that gives us an unfair advantage. Should be an even playing field for all athletes.
Should we ban tall people from playing in basketball too? Should we let obese people fast track through to compete in the Gymnastics? Where does the unfair advantage argument end? The Olympics is about showing what your country can produce in terms of sporting excellence, I think it's a good thing we can take something like our lottery and use it to give people a chance to become elite athletes. We should be cheering the investment we put in our sports and using it as an example to other nations. |

It's all consistent with the motif of equality of opportunity etc. Otherwise it would still be a bunch of oxbridgers and aristos competing for us.

Hudson-Smith ran 44.61 in that final. Would've got a silver at the Beijing games. Came last.
