Looks like J-ME has school handled and is healthy and motivated for the olympics.

But did you see the bit about J-me, Russel Downing and the Tassie cops?

"Competition at yesterday's Burnie Carnival in Tasmania turned ugly when a scuffle developed in the
dressing room after the last of the qualifying heats for the wheelrace. Trouble started when British
rider Russell Downing protested to commissaires that US rider and coach Jame Carney had impeded him
in the final heat, a race that saw Carney qualify for the $7,000 wheelrace, and Downing narrowly
fail to go through.

Commissaires found that Carney had not impeded Downing, but heated discussion between the two
continued in the riders' preparation rooms under the grandstand at Burnie's West Park sports ground.
When that discussion turned physical, British team coach Shane Sutton and Carney's team-mate Gui
Nelessen also became involved.

Police were called and as race officials attempted to calm the situation, Carney threatened legal
action against the carnival organisation if his safety could not be assured, alleging that Sutton
had threatened him with further violence."

No I hadn't seen that, was away for the weekend. Thanks. Looks like AA and Trdina started something.
How about televised sprint boxing, or Keirin with your choice of cycling accessory to be used as a
legal weapon. Picturing the pump scene in "Breaking Away". Bill C
