Looks like 5 weightlifters were suspended this morning for flunking drug test.

what is the deal with the japanese swimmer using the dolphin kick in the breaststroke. We all know it's illegal and it sure looked like a dolphin kick to me.  ( some US swimmer called him a cheater   ;D )
Too bad the japanese guy's got the gold and it's over.

Dolphin kick or not,  he smoked the pack in the 200m.  Why'd he do it in the first place?  ???

yep saw that,  compared to the rest of the pack it indeed seemed a tad early.  However they were saying that as long as it is still one continuous motion that it is legal.  He smoked the second man by 3 seconds right?  I doubt that one turn gave him that much a lead.  Interested in Doc's pov.
