Odunnu: Yes and he posts with it too.

In other words, he helps you in "tidying" your section too

thegoodjoehunt:
Only thing constant in life is change. If Ye Shiwen is innocent, do you know how she will feel. I remember when I made an excellent grade in secondary school in a music test. The teacher accused me of copying. I felt bad because I really worked hard for that test. Many still thought I cheated and I was so hurt. Let us not accuse anyone one of doping till they are caught.

thegoodjoehunt: As for Lance's case, they might just be trying to make themselves look innocent after they whole world knew the obvious.

thegoodjoehunt: Don't mind them. If anyone is doing well and isn't from USA, then he must be on drugs.

thegoodjoehunt: See as they want to kill the Chinese swimmer Ye Shiwen and now bolt. When they did it and dominated for years, none of them said anything.

The reason why Ye Shiwen performance in this Olympics is raising so many eyebrows is because she's returned faster time than the men.

In the final of the 400m individual medley, she swam the last 50m freestyle even faster than the American male swimmer Ryan Lochte did in the Men's event.

How is this possible? I mean it stands to reason that a **top class professional** male swimmer with stronger arm and leg muscles will swim faster than a female, abi you disagree?

Anyways, like I said earlier. . .any athlete accused of using PEDs is innocent until proven guilty.

I find this story interesting. . . .as in, no one knows more about doping than Victo Conte

https://images.smh.com.au/2012/08/09/3541376/art-victorconte-620x349.jpg
Victor Conte, convicted owner of the now-defunct BALCO laboratory that was at the centre of a global steroid scandal, said on Thursday that the drug-testing programme at the 2012 Olympics was irrelevant.

"It's basically propaganda to come out and say this is the most expensively-tested Games ever and 'we're doing 6,000 tests'," Conte was quoted as telling The Times newspaper.

"You have to put your hook and line in the water when the fish are biting and that was nine months ago. Is it easy to use drugs and benefit during (the) Olympics? Yes."

The British newspaper also quoted Conte as estimating that "60 percent of athletes at the Games were on drugs".

Scientists have been working around the clock at a specially equipped anti-doping laboratory on the outskirts of London analysing more than 6,000 urine and blood samples during the Games.

Any of the 10,000-plus competitors can be required to test anytime, anywhere -- trackside, poolside, in the athletes' village or in private houses -- and several have already been thrown out of the Olympics for doping.

Conte's BALCO laboratory in San Francisco supplied drugs to leading athletes including Britain's Dwain Chambers who was banned for two years after testing positive for the designer steroid THG in 2003.

Chambers was picked for the London Games after becoming eligible for selection in May when the British Olympic Association's policy of lifetime Olympic bans for drug cheats was overturned by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

Conte was sentenced in 2005 to spend four months in prison and another four on house arrest.

ijebabe: Lol! You sound like one big agbero

Lol. . .never claimed to be otherwise

Johnchike: Maybe HP now has a 32-bit os that is expandable from 4GB to 8GB, but the 64-bit os is expandable to 16terabites. Surely you know the difference btw 8gb and 16terabites. Also any application that requires 64-bit space cannot work on ur 32-bit os. This limits your usage to only 32-bit applications. But with a 64-bit os you can run both 32-bit and 64-bit applications.

Pharoh: This is a repeat of the women's world cup final and its definitely going to Japan.

olempe: I got my brand new HP630 laptop in February and I installed a ba3 bar application on it whch shows the ba3 life when charging and wen power's off.

The ba3 used to show 4hr after it's fully charged as at that time, but later it reduced to 3hrs:30mins. But on July 2nd, I went to NYSC camp and left the laptop with my younger bro, by the time I came back last week, the ba3 life has reduced to 2hrs:30mins, on Monday 2hrs:22mins, as at yesterday it has reduced to 2hrs:18mins...

I hope my 6months olds brand new ba3 is nt dying.. Help needed on the cause and what I could do.
Thanks gurus in the house.

justwise: USA all the way, those girls are just good.

Team Japan all the way. . . .

The US don't deserve to be in this Final as they were helped in no small measure by the referee in their Semi-Final match against Canada.

USA has won Gold 3 times (Atlanta 96, Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008) in the last 4 Olympics. . . Haba! Shey na only dem

Moreover, I support any country that stands in the way of the USA winning gold as I want the "Chinks" to win this Olympics overall

Go Nadeshiko, do me proud

aieromon: I have a HP Pavilion dm4 which runs on a 32bit OS. It is 640GB HDD and 4GB ram expandable to 8GB. Are you suggesting that upgrading to a 8GB RAM will have no additional benefits on the laptop's performance?

Thanks.

bamto: This will be the third flash drive I'll buy and its the same problem. They copy files on Word and the likes but any attempt to copy large files like films and songs turn out futile. It says the file is broken, and it takes eternity to repair. A friend says they are fake. Could this be true?

FCBarcelona, one of the biggest and most successful football Clubs in the World, with a global outreach of members, supporters and fans, recently announced the establishment of seven new branches of its worldwide supporter’s club platforms known as Penyes, with one Penya berthing in Lagos, Nigeria.

Penya Barca de Lagos Club with Licence no 2081 received official recognition as a member of FCBARCELONA Penyes worldwide on January 23, 2012 via a letter from Jordi Cardona Casaus, Vice President Head of Social Area, FC Barcelona which was made public recently, along six other franchises by the spokesperson of the board in Barcelona, Spain.

In the Official Letter addressed to the President of the Club’s Board of trustees – Mr. Leslie Oghomienor - while congratulating him on the decision to join the FCBarcelona penyes world, Mr. Casaus encouraged him to maintain the same enthusiasm in spreading the historic values that makes the club a different one. The core values of the FCB club that makes its colors and references an example all around the world are sense of civic responsibility, social integration, sportsmanship, solidarity, democracy and the FC Barcelona internationality.

With this development, Nigeria has officially joined FC Barcelona Football Club worldwide membership base - a long and detailed journey that took over two years since the idea was first muted.

Penya Barca de Lagos will be modeled as a frontline international non - profit, non - Governmental and – non-racial club devoted to the promotion, monitoring and administration of a solid membership and fan support base for FC BARCELONA in Nigeria while serving as link between the club and its teeming support base in Nigeria.

In order to realize these stated objectives in Nigeria, the Board of Trustees has announced the appointment of Miss Nkechi Nneka Obi as its Chief Executive Officer.

Miss Obi brings to her new task a wealth of multi-dimensional experience gained from Sports, Events and Media Management, Marketing and Consultancy, Corporate and Brand Promotions, Sports Franchise Development and funding and Project Management. She has also served as a Motivational Speaker and a Public Affairs Analyst at different times.

Miss Obi's stated goal is to use the FC BARCELONA brand to grow Penya Barca de Lagos into the undisputed number one football community in Nigeria while building the largest and most interactive football movement in the country. Penya Barca de Lagos aims at attracting 100,000 members in the first year, growing up to 1 million by the fourth year while building FC BARCELONA into the number one Sports Brand in Nigeria and creating a platform for interaction and marketing for discerning brands to associate with the Penya. In achieving these goals, Penya Barca de Lagos will contribute its own quota in no small way, to the development of the game of football in Nigeria

Penya Barca de Lagos membership is structured into Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze and Junior Members (Penya Kids) categories with a Club House for members’ interaction and community development.

To underscore its seriousness, Penya Barca de Lagos has already rolled out quarterly events and activities for the next two years starting from August 2012 with the season opening SPANISH SUPER CUP 1st leg match between 2012 Copa Del Rey holders FCBARCELONA and 2012 La Liga Champions REAL MADRID.

Finally, through a statement on the official website, Maccabi Tel Aviv have announced the arrival on loan of the Nigeria number one goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama who joins the club from Lille.

Jordi Cruff, the Sporting Director of The Yellows told the club's official website, maccabi-tlv.co.il: "We are delighted to add a goalkeeper in the caliber of Vincent Enyeama to our squad and are certain he will prove to be a valuable asset to the team".

Enyeama's arrival in Tel Aviv was thought to have met a brick-wall following the alleged threat to his family by rival supporters of Hapoel, his last club in Israel.

Maccabi Tel Aviv is the Super Eagle's third club in Israel. He previously had spells with Hapoel Tel Aviv and Bnei Yehuda.

(CNN) -- More than 6,250 samples of blood and urine will be tested during both the Olympics and Paralympics -- four years ago in Beijing that figure was around 4,500 -- with around 150 scientists on duty around the clock.

For the first time in Olympics history, a private sponsor -- pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) -- will be aiding the effort, providing the facilities for the scientists to carry out their work.

The $30 million state-of-the-art laboratory in Harlow, Essex is a short distance from the Olympic Park in east London and is fully accredited by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).

"I think it's a significant involvement," WADA's director general David Howman told CNN.

"The laboratory will have everything it could possibly need in terms of equipment. If athletes go to London, they know if they are cheating they are likely to be caught."

Professor David Cowan, director of King's College London's Drug Control Center and chief scientist for the Games, is delighted that GSK is helping out.

"These laboratories are the most high-tech labs in the history of the Games, analyzing more samples than ever before," Cowan said.

With GSK's support, Cowan and his colleagues have been able to develop "super-fast, super-sensitive technologies" capable of detecting prohibited substances.

"Across the range of instrument in the lab, we reckon we can pick up things you haven't even thought of," Cowan said.

"I think we'll soon be away from the days where designer drugs beat the analyst. I'm hoping this will be the Games that actually prove that."

Howman says the list of banned substances runs to 10-15 pages, with hundreds of drugs currently prohibited.

The fight continues and the sophistication continues on both sides. You find that athletes and those that advise athletes are more sophisticated in what they do than they were 10 years ago," he said.

But he says the London 2012 program is "very, very good," reiterating that drug-takers will be found out. I don't think Ben Johnson would even get to London nowadays -- I think he would be picked up in advance, and many athletes now who think they can get there will be swept away by pre-Games testing," Howman said.

"There were 80-90 athletes who didn't go to Beijing because of pre-testing and I presume that the same sort of number might arise this time around.

Rossikk, I like you, really I do cos you're intelligent and pro-Nigeria like me but this your post I no sabi

Me thinks it's not drugs but witchcraft. . . .as in athletes from other countries don't have wizards and witches tying down their legs & hands

On a serious note, read the story below cos it seems to me you've taken your patriotic fervor too far

LONDON 2012: ALL MEDALISTS TO BE DRUG TESTED AT THE OLYMPICS

London 2012 will see the biggest anti-doping operation in the history of the Olympic Games.

Half of all the competitors are to be tested for drugs, with 150 scientists set to take 6,000 samples between now and the end of the Paralympic Games.

Every competitor who wins a medal will also be tested.

Team GB's Phillips Idowu, Beth Tweddle, David Weir, Graham Edmunds and Marlon Devonish are fronting a campaign highlighting the anti-doping programme.

Sprinter Devonish won an Olympic gold in the 4x100m relay at the 2004 Athens Games.

He said: "Winning an Olympic medal is the best feeling in the world and as an athlete it's so important to know that anyone who stands on the podium has got there through their own hard work and dedication, not by doping."

Team GB sprinter Dwain Chambers and cyclist David Millar will compete in London after the British Olympic Association's policy of punishing drug cheats with lifetime bans was overturned by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

More than 1,000 people will staff the anti-doping laboratory, with up to 400 samples tested every day for more than 240 prohibited substances.

Double gold medal-winning Paralympic swimmer Edmunds was part of the winning 4x100m freestyle relay teams in Athens and Beijing.

"Winning medals is like an addiction," he said. "Once you have one, you want another.

"It's my biggest motivation. And knowing you've reached the podium because of all the hard work you've put in - nine sessions a week, two hours each session, three gym sessions a week for four years - is the greatest feeling.

"I'm confident that everything possible is being done to catch drug cheats at London 2012 and that makes these Games really special."
