Expect rain to play big role at London 2012
Ahh, just like home for some of us ;-)
Tennis fans have likely noticed how often the retractable roof has been closed at Wimbledon over the last two weeks. There have been frequent weather-related delays, and the Met office (The United Kingdom’s national weather forecaster) is predicting more of the same for the coming month.
Rain isn’t exactly rare in London this time of year.
The average August in London receives just under two inches of rain. London just set a record for the wettest June on record, and July is off to a wet start.

WADA chief urges drug cheats to withdraw from the Games
WADA president John Fahey urged drug cheats Tuesday to withdraw from their Olympic teams and stay away from the Games, as they will otherwise face the strictest anti-doping program in Olympic history and stand only a small chance of escaping detection. Read TribLive
“I say this in the clearest way possible: If you are a doping athlete and you are planning to compete in London, then you must withdraw from your Olympic team,†Fahey said in a statement, less than three weeks before the opening ceremony. “Even if a doping athlete were to win a medal, he or she would never be able to look at themselves in the mirror and say, ‘Well done, I deserved this.’ â€

Tyler blasts Phelps for being lazy, then says sorry
Yeah I know, I’m late here. Tyler Clary called out Michael Phelps, yesterday, saying he saw a real lack of preparation when he trained with Phelps, and that Phelps ‘has basically been asking to get beat for the longest time.’ Phelps gets upset, other people too while others say Clary is right, then Clary says sorry.
@katiekochman him on such a big scale and I'm crushed that the message I was trying to convey did not get through. I'm sorry @MichaelPhelps

Not really a story to me, until this paragraph out off Barstool Sports.
We talkin bout swim practice. Not a swim game. Not a swim game. We talkin about swim practice.
Just when I thought swimming couldn’t get any gayer, we got this traitor crybaby whining like a bitch.
I love that song ! :-)
