> Yep... athletics has really been sullied by the drug cheats. It seems tennis might be on the way with the match fixing, and football has gone down the pan with the rampant FIFA corruption (not to mention all the diving).
Diego Costa's efforts yesterday against Arsenal was this years diving low point for me. OK, the defender shouldnt have gone for him but FFS, he made no contact and Costa went rolling about the floor holding his ankle. Defender got sent off. It makes me want to jump into the screen a beat the living daylights out of him. Grrrrrrr!
I think its time for a retrospective punishment of divers and cheats which dont get spotted by refs. If a panel of football experts spot this afterwards then the player should be banned for the next game and fined a week's wages, Lets see how Costa gets away with that. The stigma alone when they get publicly rumbled should be enough.
I f&^%* hate divers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
