Were Hinder's remarks concerning his deliberate fall during Olympic cycling sprit race "Lost on Translation" or was the TeamGB win the result of cheating? In any case the it seem necessary to review regulations to prevent future controversy blighting the sport.

London 2012 organisers have started an investigation into why there were empty seats at the swimming events... Empty seats @ the swimming event resembles a regional championship friendly, not the London Olympics!

Great Britain men's hockey team earned a contentious 1-1 draw with Spain and made it to the semi-finals for the first time since 1988... Many believe that the referee did indeed reach the correct decision in the end, where others still maintain that GB home advantage counts for something.

Velodrome veteran equals Steve Redgrave's record with team sprint victory... Our flag carrier Chris Hoy, Jason Kenny and Philip Hindes beat France to end yesterday's Olympic success for Britain and win Chris Hoy his 5th Olympic medal, putting him on a par with Sir Steve Redgrave. Chris has been called Scotland's greatest ever Olympian, succeeding to play for TeamGB whilst representing his country, managing to put aside the fact that Scotland and Wales are considered as mere regions in the eyes of the International Olympic Committee. Growing up in Wales, I'd know how important that is. And so what if he doesn’t sing the English national anthem : he just won TeamGB a bloody gold. So why after such a glorious victory would we decide to shoot ourselves in the foot? The idea circulating this morning that TeamGB cheated their way to glory yesterday afternoon for me just builds on the idea that us Brits just don’t seem to know when to quit when we're ahead. The world just watched us beat the French, win gold and break a world record ; who on earth in their right mind would lauch such a rumour? And what is the différence between what Philip Hindes just admitted and the badminton incident which got 8 players disqualified ? Oh dear TeamGB, and for one we can’t blame the socialympics, we managed to mess that one up on our own.
