[kj] Sports

[Brendan Quinn]

Loads of girls at work have Daniel Carter or other kiwi rugby legend posters
up on their desks. He's adored, so are various other athlete stars. Top
level rugby has a phenomenon called "Jersey fuckers" by aussies and
kiwis.girls who hang around the team and want to be associated with going
out with one of them.they're fucking the jersey, not the person. Which I'm
sure doesn't bother the jersey wearer too much. But also, you're talking
about young, well built, rugged, wealthy, successful lads, of course girls
are gonna be keen!

 

There's still plenty of steroid abuse, I don't think it's locked down that
tight as you suggest. I agree it's harder in some ways now, with the Tour de
France debacle etc, but it's an arms race. Blocking / masking drugs and
drugs that fly under the radar, vs the testing drugs. Two teams of chemists
competing.perhaps that would make a good sport?

Once again B.S Oliver needs to quote someone else to get his point across
and  once again he will simply say " I didnt say it, I was just quoting
someone else" when he is questionned about the things he posts.

"Athletes get tons of money and pussy, and all the best 
drugs. "
  What a crass ignorant statement to make , Athletes are rigourously tested
for drugs  , even anti decongestants freely available from a chemist can get
them a two year ban , drug tests pick up every kind of drug for athletes ,
so to imply that athletes get all the best drugs is simply bullshit, Oliver.
And to say that athletes get "tons of money" is also B.S. Oliver . The huge
majority of sportsmen do it for the love of their sport , if even costs the
athletes money to participate , a very very small minority of sportsman make
any money at all from their chosen sport .
