Apathy over Olympic Games 2016

I wish i could get excited about the start of the Rio Games in a few days time, but all this Russian controversy and journalists questioning the quality of facilities, has left me bereft of any enthusiasm.

I shall watch all the athletics as i always do, but i fear that my interest will stop there. Contrast that with the feverpitch excitement that we had for our games in 2012. It's very sad because we rely on our enjoyment of sport for the feelgood factor.

Yes, I know what you mean. Imho, all the Russian competitors should have been thrown out. The sheer scale of it seems to be massive. Now you wonder just how many competitors from other countries are cheating as well. Every time there is a new record set, it will be hard not to think 'are they cheating?'

I have to agree but I am slowly getting into it The fact that most of it is on very late in the evening / early hours of the morning doesn't help though!
