When I read about Olympic cyclist Lizzie Armistead yesterday, I couldn't help wonder how she managed to miss three drug tests in a twelve month period, knowing that this constituted a potential four year ban.
Now, I am not qualified to say she may have been doping (she has been cleared to compete by a heavy hitting legal team) but if I faced my livelihood being taken away for four years because I kept missing doctors appointments, my house ...
In recent times I have become increasingly aware that C4 news is now the best independent evening news station.

Welcome to the new order of the world, where the masses appear to want to vote in governments that will fight hate with hate. It won't work, it never has and never will, but we ...
