Men Becoming Women

What I'm about to write may be offensive to some people But I am absolutely appalled by what's happening at the Olympics Men playing on women's teams concealed by their national dress Not being discovered while undergoing a cursory examination As incredulous as this may seem, it is happening The true spirit of the Olympics has long been destroyed By this “win at any cost” or “by any means” attitude Once a big fan who took pride when my country achieved success The true spirit of the games has become shrouded in controversy Oh, how times have changed © Jack Ellison 2014

There had been various forms of cheating for more than 50 years including hormone testosterone shots to females... They just have to pay more attention and stop it. Any sport needs that... Sad really... I'll have to explain this to dragon... Hey, Dragon wants to know if a dragon can play on our team when he's grown?... May need another category there... LOL... Other species category that is... Shame on you!
