Life ban for me...he knew what he was doing.

How do people learn/reabilitate though?

2 years off has really killed his form anyway, it's as good as a life ban

Nobody is worse than Jake Humphrey - why we need a presenter in the velodrome ill never know as every other year they just show non stop cycling, interviews and medal ceremonies - if i have to hear him say " tell us what it feels like..." one more time ill scream

Lineker's live interview with the 2 gymnasts just topped anything else I've seen for cringeworthy moments. He got one of their names wrong and asked questions about the event which made it clear he'd no idea what actually happened! Asking smith how he felt after his routine while he waited for the last man to go when he was the last man-embarrassing!

Have to say though, some of the 5 live radio coverage has been superb. Alan green's work on the rowing is brilliant as are some of the presenters like chapman and murray who clearly have a lot more sporting knowledge than the muppets on TV

Best commentator is Gary Herbert in the rowing.....totally biased and patriotic but bloody funny.All the presenters have been duff tbh barring Gaby logan.

Caught snippets of radio 5 whilst running about in car and they seem much more at ease and jokey

At the risk of sounding contraversial...I have nothing against the guy and respect everything he's had to overcome, but I don't think he should have been allowed to compete. What happens when the technology means the spring in the blades will give someone an advantage over an able bodied athlete?
