hi Allan

You are quite right in the change of rules comments.

Reducing the number of entrants to 1 for each country prevented the spectators from seeing some top athletes for appearing and also some mouthwatering clashes.

For instance I am sure the whole World would want to have seen Jason Kenney race against Sir Chris Hoy (along with several other tops British riders ) were unable to ride because of this one-sided rule.

Also they changed the actual events in some cases - ones that Britain were the best participants.

I understand the some of the Archery rules were changed to the detriment of our shooters.

On this same subject .....what the hell is Skeet Shooting ???

There have been several claims the the British riders ; especially Bradley Wiggins have been "involved" with drugs. The French particularly hinted as much during this last week. How the French cycling can claim anyone is guilty of drugs escapes me !!!!!!

cheers
