Nope. She got the medal. It's the doubt in viewers, other sports experts and fans that she has to remove. I have no proof she's guilty so she's innocent. She's got more tournaments to prove that. There's always doubt. Doubt inherited from country's past and from how great she performed. Most of us do not follow her career.

There's time and enough competitions and drug testing to prove the doubters wrong.

Another olympic blunder -

Why did the opals change their uniform? It was unique.

What I'm more impressed by is Elizabeth Cambage's slam dunk -- the first female slam dunk in Olympic history (not hindered by her massive 203cm stature! ). Cambage was also a victim of bullying at school -- kids teased her for being tall, and was also a victim of racism (as her mother explained in a TV interview that I saw last week). I hope all those people who teased her at school are enjoying their humble pie right now... served with a nice warm cup of STHU.

So Kobe Bryant thinks this USA Olympic basketball team could beat the dream team of 92.

He said that they could beat them in one game. Not definitively beat them in every game. Taken out of context to make controversy. As a competitor, of course he thinks everyone is beatable at least once.

Just don't agree with the Qantas commercial - athletes are the reason they fly?

Can't enjoy the olympic basketball games 9 coverage sucks. I wish SBS could've shown coverage as well instead of exclusive to 9

Because I know Lisa Leslie can dunk. It wasn't a big thing for me.
For an impressive olympic dunk, Vince Carter's dunk comes to mind.
