This is a blog the BBC, financed through mine and yours forced subscriptions - you do not have a say in whether or not you pay - because concern are raised in it as to the efficacy of the Beebs editing and reporting. Whilst the Beeb swapped and moved channels so that the elderly and dishevelled licence payer lost contact with their chosen sport, it appeared that the only sportsman that the Beeb was interested in was a brilliant Jamaican sprinter. As there was no British interest in the event, it could be assumed that sports where Brits were going for Gold would take full coverage. No. The Beeb could not even flash up on the screen that the events were going on- on a defined channel. And if they objected to the open reference to the winner of the 400 mts, lets get it straight. It was the courts that reinstated a woman who could not make it to a specified location, three times, but could get on the plane to China, for her to run against a proven drug taker, a competitor banned for drug use by her own association, in that final race.
If I object to cheats, then I object to the Beeb sanctioning cheating by using my limited funds to finance them. Every one saw the poor financing when it paid a second rate interviewer millions of my pounds Stirling to do a second rate job. Now BBC, tell me I have no right to be angry.
Res ipsa loquitur.

The Bolt Backing Club has done a fine job of preventing me from supporting-from a far distance - British clean athletes. Yesterday, because of scheduling and poor communications, many of us did not see the cyclists winning their races. But the Beeb made certain we watched the best side-stepper in Athletics wins a dubious Gold in the 400 mtrs for women drug cheats. How many suspected and proven athletes in that final race?
As good as the Jamaican is, does he deserve more footage than British athletes, swimmers, gymnasts, sailors, horse-riders and other British competitors?
I object totally at my money being spent so poorly by the oligarchy of the Beebs trustees.
As the BBC insists on spending so much of the license payer's hard to find cash on foreign stations on their world service(free to users in many countries) why not show their contestants in preference to UK participators and please the PC brigade and get a smile from the freeloading banana republics they so wish to defer to?
