The world of pro sport takes the heeadlines once again. Alleged doping in the Tour de France, a basketball official who is alleged to have bet on the game that he makes his living from, and a football player who is said to quarterback a dog fighting enterprise.
There's so much more going on in sport! The Pan Am Games in Rio, track and field World Champinships coming up, Asian Games.....
Just feed the newspapers this cheating stuff, and they pick it up.
The last part of the PAG are well underway. Reports of bad food and poor transportation continue to dog the organizers. Rio's hopes for hosting the 2016 Olympic Games are dimmed somewhat by these organizatioonal snafus. And there are lots of them.
Diving and synchro are underway now. Canada's National Synchro Team and Duet can qualify for Beijing by winning the Gold medals...Silver won't do.
The Women's Water Polo has the long road to Beijing, not having done well. Swimming athletes have shown that they "have the right stuff." It's amazing what good, clear, positive leadership can do! We wish them well as they train for the Olympic Trials here in Canada. And congratulations to SNC for its determination and commitment to excellence.
More later on Canada's duet that starts today, and how the field shapes up. It will be...it SHOULD be....a nailbiter for the medals, if officiating is well done.
