Yes, it's time to inaugurate the official OTF Anti-Olympic Brigade ahead of a full month of shamateurism and "clean" performances. My disillusionment with the Games first emerged after the Michelle Smith fiasco, but the awarding of the 2008 tournament to Beijing proved the final straw, as it became evident that filthy lucre and commercial imperatives had trumped any lingering Coubertin idealism, or concern about human rights. Any brief appeal to national pride will rapidly pall when faced with the foul stench of controversy surrounding Russia, Kenya and Jamaica, and the move to introduce professionals into boxing tournaments is the final nail in the pugilistic coffin. So, who else is with me?
