]]> Comment on Olympics + Doping by Ed Gardner http://www.andymiah.net/2011/10/04/olympics-doping/#comment-229 Ed Gardner Mon, 03 Oct 2011 11:48:29 +0000 http://www.andymiah.net/?p=4331#comment-229 The question is not whether there is a fair or un-fair advantage gained ,it is a question of why do we attach so much "kudos" to the athletes achievement in the first place. Most of thier "achievement" is genetically endowed, and most athletes are now backed by such a thorough machine, that really, should we care about there "acheivement?" We need to separate the Olympic myth from the reality, that there never has been, and never will be a "level" playing field. There is really no difference between taking a chemically enhancing drug and being part of a team that has the financial ability to analyse every facet of your training/equipment.

I'd like to consider articles from IJT but need online access. Neither of the two libraries I have access to offer anything more than Interlibrary Loan for IJT, something that might work for a single article but not for a book editor.

There are a hundred thousand better business partners Fry could have. He ought to consider a new one IMO. Particularly if he has any responsibilty whatsoever with Fry's website. It's horrible and totally undermines the assertion and image put forth that Fry is any kind of technophile. No one who was would build a site breaking and creaking under its own outmoded tech weight. I fully believe in Fry's twitter authenticity for one reason: All the temper tantrums of 'leaving' Twitter whenever someone disagrees with him with more vigor than a doormat.

I cannot agree with you more, indeed Olympia and the IOA is a life-changing expirience to many, including myself. It is a pity that I will miss the 50th celebration this coming summer. I however hope and trust that all those that will will make it there, will make it remarkable and memorable, please keep us posted. Thank you very much again.

It was shown at the Milton Keynes International Festival 2010,and I have some amazing photos from it. It was on a much smaller scale, and tightly tethered to the ground. But it was a beautiful, calming experience. Something similar has indeed been done. It was shown at the Milton Keynes International Festival 2010,and I have some amazing photos from it.
