        BBC reporting that all of the badminton players who partook in some shady goings on last night have been disqualified. All 8 of them

                Boardman not happy about the drafting from the USA rider on the car infront

                  The BBC commentary is not good. The idea Pooley stands a good chance of gold is ridiculous hype. She's excellent but on this course she'll do well to get bronze. I thought fourth or fifty before she started, and that seems about on target after the first check.

                  The BBC's coverage on cycling has long been patchy and sometimes just negative. Now it seems intent on hyping up expectations and then being laughably simplistic when the cyclists fail to fulfil them (re. their headline on Saturday that "Cavendish fails to shine" or the comment from one of their journalists that "the Manx Missile became the Manx Misfire" ).

                  If you've got Eurosport, watch it instead. Boardman is excellent on time trialling but Sean Kelly is a brilliant expert, and I think David Harmon is a far better commentator than Hugh Porter, even thought he isn't an ex-pro.

                  With any luck they'll have Michael Hutchinson adding his expertise and general time trial tech nerdiness for the men's TT.

                  Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

                    I'm not sure about these new Devo's Whip It/Fireman Sam style helmets.

                      Too early for me to put it on now - no interest in the women - will tune in to the men's at about 2.30 I think. On Eurosport.

                              I'm looking forward to the velodrome. We've excelled there in the last couple of Olympics but GB should pick up quite a few medals.
