A belated comment: it was announced in the Olympic opening ceremonies that the three pillars of the Olympic movement are sport, culture, and the environment.

Damn. I could have sworn they were sport, drugs, and bribery.

It certainly would have made for better ties with earlier Olympic history. "Representing drugs, from the 1976 East German Womens' Olympic Swim Team, Unga Webber". And with the bribery representative, they could have added a little local color.

Such lost opportunities...
