:think Mentioned by Bunce on the radio just that something was going to be revealed on BBC tonight, and I just spotted this on twitter: Steve Lillis: Don't shoot the messenger but whispers of a amateur boxing expose on Newsnight tonight. Any ideas what it'll be, if true?
That it doesn't prepare fighters well for the pro game and has bred many overtly negative fighters in the last few years? ;-)
"There's quite a lot of sport planned for this evening's Newsnight, including from the BBC's Sports Editor David Bond who'll be telling us five ways competitors could cheat at the 2012 Olympics." "Then we'll be joined live by Olympic champion and anti-corruption campaigner Michael Johnson." Thats what the programme information says on the Newsnight page of the BBC website.
Just saw it on the news basically the world series of boxing guaranteed Azabajan 2 gold medals at the Olympics in exchange for 10 million investment,terrible but not suprising if true.
So that's what Buncey was alluding to when he called it "Azer-by-backhander" earlier. [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/p00k5sgt[/url] 30:50.
^ that cracked me up to. The BBC girl was having not of it. I wonder how many things like this have happened in the past?
