Jeez! NON-REGULATION KIT.....this is the kind of thing that makes the games a no-no for me. I applaud the sports peps who work so hard to do their thing, but the petty-mindedness on the rule-makers sucks. Congrats to all of your heroes and I hope yours do well. The great thing is that they are doing is getting rid of the drugs cheats. The bad thing is that the I.O.C. is an exclusive club who's members are all millionaires who get to travel the world 1st Class and pay for nothing. The UK want the games to come here in 2012. Nothing wrong in that, except that here we have all the facilities ready to go in Manchester and yet the British O.C. won't allow any city other than London to bid. In London they are talking about making an olympic village and stadia etc near the Millenium Dome, which means ripping out huge chunks of the area where people actually live. Those peps will have to be re-housed, probably in sub-standard housing. They will never be able to afford to move back into an area where many spent their entire lives. I'm with Orbital on this, make dominos an olympic evemt!
