IMHO, although the service is stripped to bare metal, we need to keep encouraging the tradition of AT/Sport as much as possible. Having guys at the olympics, and various others at the top of their field (female powerlifters anyone?
) is the only way that (by the luckyest of unlikely chances) should some muppet realise they're running us ragged and decide we need a little time to develop without being hot and sandy, we'll have any idea of want to do! Fair play to them I say. At the end of the day, one guy/gal out of 40,000, not really that bad, good bit of
pr and makes the rest of us glow with pride
