Saw the You magazine while waiting in the queue at Woolies last night. Couldn’t find the Ingleesh version online, but found die Afrikaanse een… why me?

Has anyone seen what Tiger Woods looks like these days? Isn't golf officially an Olympic sport? If USADA haven't been knocking yet, it blows my mind as to why not.

Dude is a UNIT.

Elton Jantjies NOT the only SA sportsperson banned: FULL LIST (msn.com)

Cyclist on that list I've never heard of.

Seems I've double posted, I didn't realise the article mentioned a cyclist until now.

12 year ban for the Saffa? Dude, you won't be able to take part in a parkrun with a rap sheet like that. How badly did he f-up?

I was curious about that as well so I looked it up - he is a repeat offender.

Said cyclist came third in his age category at SA TT Champs last year - CSA seems to have quietly scrubbed the result from their social media posts. I wonder if the gent who came 4th on the day is even aware that he was robbed of a podium.

Done for good now (surely?!). 

One incredible talent, that went wayward. He was a lynchpin in that incredible Ackerman Lions team that came back from relegation to make it to 3 consecutive SR finals, combined with FdK. He had King Carlos in his corner as a youngster and later did his best to get to Carter's level.

He has a well deserved RWC winners medal hanging up in his bar. I wonder if maybe he wouldn't have been better as a football player, given his temperament, 

 

and remember, Beaudie still loves you.....

VA rider from the highveld; you can find his palmares on Racetec’s results page.

Talking of the Race to the Sun ladies results, the Ladies winning time was just over 14mins behind the Men's winning time.  That's bloody good going - I hope it's a sign that our Ladies are upping the standard of their racing.  When my Wife used to race for a ladies pro team a few years back it always came down to draft off the men and then try and win at the end in a sprint....

I rode this race for the first time last year and the ladies are NOT allowed to take a wheel at all. I offered one up to a lady that was being dropped from the front group and she looked around like there were cameras around. She did say thanks but no thanks. We’re strictly enforced by race Marshall’s and like clockwork some motorcycles with marshalls came through

You NEVER do that. Let them ride their own race. You would appreciate this if you raced in elite or age cats
