How so? Those were HIS words.

Of course it is his words. But they are RIPPED out of context.

Doesn't matter, he said he wanted gold. That's why they compete, no?

So here is a simple equation:

Ava+Gold=Happy/say not a word.
Ava-Gold=Angry/blame someone else.

Ava+Gold=Happy = No corruption

Did you watch the game yet?

Are you saying that it was a fair call?

Fixed! ;)

Look, I don't doubt that there is a crooked ref, I don't doubt that the better wrestler got shafted. What I do disagree with is A) He accepted the invitation KNOWING that this ref would be there. B) There are much better ways to handle a situation like this then to WAIT until you get screwed, especially if you KNOW you're going to get screwed.

Thats all. I'm out. Enjoy your Bronse. Congrats to the Italian wrestler! :)

Ava+Gold=Happy = No corruption because the judges judged the game fairly.

Yep, just as I suspected, its all about HIM, and he lost, so he's blaming others...


It's blatantly obvious that Rip has never really accomplished anything in life, or even tried for that matter.  We, as civilians, work our tulips off to achieve our goals.


Olympians work 10x more.  


Had the corruption not been there, he might have won gold.  At least he would have had the chance to play for it.  And to have worked for 16 years only to have a roadkill DQ thrown at him at the second to last stage should piss the world off, not to mention him.

I'm disappointed in you Rip.

Out of context Rip. Out of Context. I guess it has to be an American in order for you to belive what anyone says.

Pathetic.


i'd say the same things if he was american, french, isreali, or whatever......it was still imature

I think if it was corruption then what he did could actually be a good thing, because if he hadn't done it would any of us be talking about that match right now, probably no.  What he did drew world and world media attention to what happen, if he just filed a complaint through the proper channels then there's a really good chance it wouldn't have made any news media outlets, but now it's a big story and people are looking closely at the refs decision.

Just for the Record.

He did file a complaint wich was instantly turned down. This was before the medal incident.

If we want to talk ethics, why not address the Gold and Silver medalists?  If they KNEW that he should have advanced, they should have thrown their medals as well.

Incidently, here are a couple more "losers" that think the judges are favoring the Chinese. Add them to your Ava list.

Well the good thing is that he has respected people within the sport to back him up.

Did you watch boxing at all?  It's a joke.  3/4 of the matches have a CLEARLY FAVORED boxer.

The olympics are as big of a joke as the UN... Imagine them actually holding the event in this totalitarian, murderous state.
