"both women and men of USA failed to transfer the baton"

As did the Jamaican women ! Not to mention 3 other teams failed to finish in the mens race, explains how Japan got through. Really now, nothing to be proud of. Winning on the mistakes and errors of others…

And there you have it ! The 100 medal mark has been busted and it's been done, once again, by team USA ! What an outstanding performance by the Americans. And looking at that cloud hanging over the Chinese womens gymnastics and the American teams poised for more gold medal…

Back off bebert ! You are way out of line here. Cheating is cheating. Whether you are doping or using underage contestants the rules are there to ensure fairness. I can imagine the outroar if this was an American kid under investigation. Maybe you could give a better viewpoint than…

ESPN is reporting that the IOC was not really interested in investigating this story, until ?

"In light of new information"

This could open a real can of worms. The Chinese could forfeit as many as 6 womens medals here, a bunch of them gold. Those would go to the…

Kick to the groin ! Japan just got worked. I can't help but wonder which fans are more apt to step in front of a chuo line express, the Americans for seeing their team win the silver, or the Japanese losing to their most hated rival. Gee, thats a tough…

Oh and BTW, the US medal count has now stretched to a good 15 more than China. China still has some "judged" events coming up which should help them. But in real "team or individual competitions" well, they simply can't compete.

"Think China who have won more gold medals would have something to say about that."

Yes especially after the results of the IOC's investigation into China's womens gymnastics team comes clear. China had 9 golds in gymnastics ! This should be interesting.

"If you use the total number of medals it means the bronze is worth the same as a gold? That's just strange."

"Not to Americans!"

Or the Japanese media for that matter. They have consistently offered more coverage of Bronze medal finishes over Gold. Just look at the story here…

Looks like more foolishness here. so lets be clear about a variety of things. First, this has been an excellent showing by the US womens softball team. Gold is great, but I'll bet you a million none of these girls will be throwing their medal on the floor at the…
