They should allow genetically engineered super humans in to. Make athletics more interesting than watching paint dry.

To be fair, it's not easy to have too many races when you are banned, and she has had a long time to 'train'.

Secondly it wasn't a drugs ban, it was a 'missing drugs test' ban

Both those statements shouldn't be taken to mean that I'm totally convinced.

Perhaps Paula Radcliffe should be invited to give her views, although as she and Ben have things in common perhaps we shouldn't expect too much in the way of  criticism.

she now says if the ban isn't lifted she will compete for another country. Seeing as though she has this opinion, why doesn't she fuck off and live in another country and compete for them-is she really british anyway - Ohuruogu?hardly a good old cockney name is it?

She said that ages ago I think. And if she's not aloud to compete in the Olympics for Britain then fair play to her. If she wants to compete that much she doesn't have a lot of choice does she?

Although she wouldn't be banned if she could be bothered to turn up to drug tests.

Another couple of points to chuck in the pot - she was tested 2 days after the third missed test and she was clean (could stuff have cleared the system in this time?).  She's allegedly the most tested of all our athletes and has never failed a test, she's also been tested during her ban and never failed (or missed) one.  I don't want cheats to prosper but I still remember Allan Baxter losing the only bronze medal we have ever won in skiing because the american version of Vicks inhaler had metamphetamine in it while the british version didn't.  Some common sense would have helped - he'd have had to snort truck loads of the stuff for it to have enhanced his performance FFS
