Precisely. The Court of Arbitration for Sport and several administrations have twisted stupidity into new forms of idiot origami. Simple and succinct from Global Athlete: “Today is another example of the failures of the global sport and antidoping system. The fact that Kamila Valieva, a 15-year-old Russian figure skater, has been found to have a performance enhancing substance in her system is evidence of abuse of a minor. Sport should be protecting its athletes, not damaging them."

Matthieu Reeb, Director General of the Court of Arbitration for Sport a few minutes ago: “...have decided to let Ms Kamila Valieva continue her participation in the winter Olympic Games in Beijing in 2022. The panel is well aware of the rule regarding mandatory provisional suspensions but has determined that the athlete should benefit from the following exceptional circumstances. First, the athlete is under 16 and is a protected person under the world anti-doping code. The anti-doping rules of RUSADA and the World Anti-Doping Code are silent with respect to provisional suspension imposed on protected persons. … lower sanctions in the case of protected persons… …the provisional suspension would have imposed serious damage… …would be unfair on the members of the team who did not test positive… …preventing the athlete from competing at the Olympic Games would cause her irreparable harm in these circumstances…" Soooo, don’t dope unless you’re under 16!? Edit: Don’t dope your athletes unless they’re under 16?

Sheeesh! Never seen Conte nearly as disheartened as today’s post-match interview.

A year and a half and you’re ranking in SA Champs!? Remarkably proper proper, onwards and upwards.

🤣🤣 and a boomer thumbs up. Thanks, I’ve watched each day of the GT’s and classics the last few years but I’m still some kind of noob.

How come all those DNF’s in the men’s elite and U23 road race?

Exceptionally remarkably beautifully stunning.

Ain’t a Saints supporter, proper admirer though. C’mon ye Saints. Just saying.

Several people that I know live in various parts of that ekasi, will show them this pic and ask them to look out for it. It’s a vast area but I did once retrieve stolen goods from there that way and a bicycle may prove even more visible. In the event of recovery, what are the contact details or where is the original post?

None of us South Africans can play any footie but at least we have a couple of decent refs. Johannesburg’s Victor Gomes putting Salah in his place in the AFCON final by offering his cards and whistle. 🤣🤣🤣💦

Until the 91st minute it looked like 6th tier Kidderminster were going to do that to West Ham. Very much enjoyed that match and I think if VAR had been available the Hammers' 121st minute winner could well have been chalked off.

With no detraction from your comment, I can’t imagine that VP has any ill intent on his part. I see his dismay at those idiotic attitudes of Willie Knoetze and Rainier Vermaak.

As an aside, I seldom watch any porn yet every time I read or hear that name I somehow think of a porn soundtrack 🎶Boom Shikhar Dhawaaaan🎶. WTF!?

🙈🙈

And then the shooter’s lawyer says he was perfectly entitled to shoot his own car on a freeway!?

It’s 34℃ at the mo, I’ll get immense pleasure from that single chilled lager after my lunchtime ride through through the valley trails. Simply love the taste.

Nope. Besides, some breathalysers are relatively inexpensive and I have one wrapped to keep cool in each car. Got those for two mates as well. Loads of med equipment supply companies sell these. Party events are ubered up.

Corruption, incompetence and stupidity by cops and prosecutors often have tragic consequences. I beat down and caught Sizwe Vumazonke as he tried to stab me when he saw me waking from my couch. One accomplice was caught down the road with my watches and phone by passing cops. My GF, who was present, and I attended three court dates before the case was dismissed due to prosecutor and court officials not notifying us of dates. I followed up with calls and two visits to the integrated justice centre. They couldn’t/wouldn’t locate the case. Vumazonke went on to be the triggerman in the Jayde Panayioutou murder. If only court officials had done their jobs. Police incompetence/corruption is hardly a uniquely SA phenomenon. Silas Duane Boston’s teen sons repeatedly told police forces in the USA and the UK that they had seen their father murder a UK couple on his yacht. (Edit: the bodies were dumped close to shore and were found a couple of days later). At every single turn over the next 38 years multiple police forces in the UK and USA as well as Interpol failed to act on correspondence and exchanges. Because of their failures, Boston went on to murder dozens more people. If only violent criminals and drunk drivers were dealt with efficiently.

I read an article a couple of years ago saying Mason Greenwood was the next Ryan Giggs, how right they were… Man U player? VAR will overturn it.

Uxolo bruh.

I’ve bought parts and watches from the USA and the delays are in SA, sometimes at customs and also significant variations at local SAPO level. Your assumption is right, USPS parcels go through SAPO. One part took just 3 days from payment to be shipped from a small midwest USA town and processed through customs and to arrive at my local SAPO. Even though I’m just 2 residential blocks away, SAPO took 5 days to drop a collection slip into my home mailbox. Sooo… 3 days to travel halfway across the planet and 5 days for SAPO to travel two blocks. If it’s delivered through SAPO it’s often at local level that they’re dragging their arses. Of course tracking will show if it’s arrived at your local post office, if they’ve bothered to start processing incoming parcels.
