As a Canadian I remebember Montreal '76 which we are still paying for and Calgary '88 which apparently was the first Olympics in the red. I have also lived through a few Toronto bids. As good as I think the Olympics could be, I think it is all about money now, paying off the right people, turning a blind eye to the drug enhancement of the most wealthy countries and the whole concept of amateur athletics is a complete joke. The event that interests me the most is of course hockey, you won't see an amateur stickboy. I also believe that they will be boycotted and/or cancelled this year. Given the current state of the world I think that they should be.

Back to Greece permanently. Great idea, it will never happen due to back pocket economics.
