d) he once went on record as saying you can't win gold medals without taking drugs (which people like Kelly Holmes, Colin Jackson, Jonathan Edwards, etc, not surprisingly took exception to!)

I know this has nothing to do with tennis, but Dwain never said that. He said that a drugs cheat would always prevail over a clean athlete unless the druggie was having a really bad day. Not that all gold medals are druggies.

hear hear Wolf.

He just spoke the truth, and it has been twisted to make an example of him in order to change the rules.

There is another ex-drugs cheat called Myerscough who throws the shot put, and has served his time and is welcome back in the team, so Dwain shoudl also be made welcome.

Well, I arrived and the Earth moved. Yay for earthquakes, and now tell me I'm not a real deal star :). Yes, I have a report from Beck-Schukin match and also a note on Alex (he laughed at double faults). Have a great day guys!

 lol, i didnt feel them in central london though.

Nathalia - can I suggest that you link to tennisalternative.com in your signature, that way you won't feel guilty about spamming, but I'll be able to find the link quickly when I'm searching for it! - just about to link to you from www.britishtennis.net: would be great to get a link back!

I knew something special had to have caused that quake. I didn't feel it either though in south London - feels like we missed out on something here!

My take on Alex laughing:

* double fault * (again)
Brad: I see you're not the only numpty at this Challenger, maybe there's still hope!
(Alex laughs nervously)

Seriously, it's got to be good that they were able to have a look at that match and a fair bit of time to analyse it.

What are you doing in London anyway? (apart from avoiding us I mean - good plan ) Or is it a top secret mission for Polish intelligence?

Edit: Oops someone just asked that - nosey lot, aren't we! (thinks: if you're looking for the Challenger, that's already been and it was in South Africa anyway ... or maybe you're starting early and negotiating press access for the TMC next year ...)
