I watched the just concluded olympics with a lot of amazement. and then begin to wonder what actually happen to the USA athletes, especially the track and fields. What happend to their showmanship. The Jamaican have completely taking over. Is it that the Americans have been cheating the whole world all these while by using drugs? if they have been doing that who on earth was covering for them? Dont you think that the failure of the Americans is because they could notbtake drugs and the whole world now catches up with them Ben Johnson was disgraced based on the outcry of Carl Lewis. How did Carl lewis get to know that he (ben) was taking drugs. Can anybody trust Carl? Who knows how many of them have taken drugs in the past. What about Grifith Joyner? I am worried about the reality on ground, Marion is i Jail. I really don't know what to think about the American athletes. I just cannot trust them. What worries me most is the exploits of the of the Jamiacans. I am really scared, i will not want a situation where in future. We will be awakened to the headlines that they also cheated. I hope they are clean. If they are clean i wonder for how long. I pray they stay clean. Athletics deserve a new breath of fresh air.

Wow, just because a few american athletes did that doesnt mean all american athletes would. Thats like saying if one canadian murders someone that all canadians are murders. Im really not sure why there is so much hostility between canada and america. I think that we are just too close to each other to get along, americans are always finding ways to rag on canadians as well as the other way around. We should all just get along. I think that there are great american athletes in the olympics, just look at phelps.

Don't get me wrong i am not saying that all Americans are cheats, all i am saying is that the events of the last Olympics simply point to the fact that the American athletes are no longer in control. I love Phelps and all his exploits at the Olympics. I love America.
