2016 Olympics

If it is Semeya that you speak of he/she was banned previously. She needs to be banned again. I do believe that political correctness has impeded common sense in this instance.

I refuse to post more pictures of Semeya. I cannot stand too. I had a late dinner.

I wouldn't go as far as saying that Semeya should be banned. But she/he has no business competing with the women. If she/he wants to compete, then compete with the men and too bad if she/he doesn't qualify.

The other medal winner was also downright scary! There's something going on there....there's something definitely going on. No wonder that the Canadian runner (Bishop) was in tears after the race and stated it sucked to have missed out on a medal when she was so close. What she also could have implied was that it sucked to have lost out to two other guys!

You want more scary-looking women? Just take a look at the shot-put & hammer throw competitions. Scary shit!!!

I agree except if those like Semeya don't compete with men there should be a separate category for them to compete in. It's ridiculous to put them in with the women.Though their genitals may have changed they keep the physical advantages they had as men and putting them in with the women is a travesty.

In case any of you BIG guys needs a pro-pole vaulter here's American Lexi Weeks.

She may even bring a partner.

I spoke about this a few days ago. Here is the article written by Bruce Arthur about his trip to Rio to cover the Olympics. It's worth reading:

The 42-hour road to Rio

The hottest golfer out there, though, has to be Paige Spiranac. I also used to have a thing for Paula Creamer.

I prefer brunettes Doc, je te laisse Paige, je conserve Gerina!!! A moins qu on fasse un foursome ensemble..... Foursome au golf evidemment! Lol

Strange to say but lets hope it's a good life lesson for him. Hope Solo got banned 6 months too, even tho in her case she did not invent any fabulation story to look like a hero, she spoke how she is, an arrogant who don't know how to loose. Let's hope she learn too, even tho in her case might not be enough...

Cheers,

Yes, he blew it big time by going over the top with that story. He should have kept it to, we were being stupid then some security guard stuck a gun in the car at us and wanted money. Don't know the legalities of that in Brazil, but in the U.S. it would be a some kind of lesson for the guard.

In Brazil and especially in Rio the cops are more crooked than a barrel of snakes. Shakedowns are the norm. Politicians are extremely corrupt and incompetent. One politician ran for president in the 70's with the slogan "I steal but I get things done." Read about the Petrobras scandal here which involved the former President of Brasil. I think the current president has a 6% approval rating???? There is a term that everyone uses called the Jeito which translates to "the way" around things such as rules. The point is that almost no one uses legal channels in Brazil. You can't. It is impossible. You'll never get anything done. They have to find a public official or civil servant on the take.

In spite of this I loved my times spent in Rio and Brazil. I have made many friends and I have met many people there that I really like. They are fun loving and giving people that work hard and play harder. The food is outstanding and the scenery is breath taking, and there are lots of fun things to do and see. Also, the hobby is not legal but due to the jeito it thrives. I love the Termas scene in Rio and the Privies in Sampa. Also, the hobby does not carry the stigma that it does in North America. I can remember my first trip to Brazil. I was a new hobbyist and I was looking for some advice on how to find an SP in Brazil on TER's forum. Someone said just look anywhere so I went into the hotel bar and there were freelancers all over the place. My friends are mostly Paulistas (from Sao Paulo) but I know some Cariocas (the people of Rio) and I like them as well. The Paulistas say the Cariocas do not like to work. There are too many beautiful beaches and distractions there.

Ryan Lochte had a chance to get off easy. Pay off the guards and then keep your mouth shut. Silence is never misquoted
