Great Video. In honor of what the "IPC" choose to do, discriminate against
people pf the world by denying the airing of the Paralympics in the USA. I
am going on a trek of up to 3,000 miles around the USA to raise some
awareness. On a few important things, as I also collect funds for some very
good organizations. The entire adventure to be recorded, and as for the
"RIGHT" sponsors... Don't worry I will have "THE RIGHT" sponsors. Ability

the athletes with a visual impairment who compete on a tandem with a
sighted pilot on the front ...who does all the work and does the sighted
rider get a medal if they win ?
They both do the work as a team and both get a medal.

Philip Hindes: London 2012 Cycling fall wasn't deliberate

How are friends relevant here? Should people lose a race on purpose so
their friend wins, or...? Because that could also be seen as cheating. Or
was that a sarcastic attempt to make people against this British guy look
really stupid? Oh, we're better at winter sports than summer, haha! We even
got a world record # of golds out of all Winter Olympics, in Canada! It was
amazing. I don't watch Olympics to discriminate against every country but
my own, though, which seems to make me in the minority!
Thanks for proving me right about your anger impairing your judgement, I
guess! I'm not (as) biased (as you) because it doesn't affect me if Britain
(or China) gets a medal or not. The only country I'm biased against is
America because they annoy me, but that's irrelevant here. You know that
rules are factual, right? And you know what the word "cheating" means,
right? This isn't hard. Break rules = cheater. Don't break rules = not
cheater. Facts. I root for some French athletes too, don't worry!
The interviewer asked him if he was trying to "pull a fast one", and he
responded with something like, "yeah, I was trying to go as fast as
possible," which makes me think that the "lost in translation" thing isn't
total bullshit. Slang is one of the last and most difficult things to learn
in a new language, because you'll always be taught the polite/professional
things first, and you won't get the full effect or fluency unless you've
been living there for a while. Just something to think about
I'm not British, I'm Canadian. Look at how ignorant you were to assume
that; it says a lot about your mindset right now. You're incredibly biased
because your guys didn't win, right? If someone doesn't break the rules,
they're not cheating. That is FACT, and they deserved the gold since they
completed the race from start to finish (post-fall) without cheating. It
was an exploitation of the rules, but still legal. Kind of like diving in
soccer. Facts always win over wild, biased opinions, sorry.
Yeah, I wasn't going to defend him until I saw the interview. Context and
tone are extremely important in speech. That's one of the main reasons why
sarcasm is so hard to spot on the internet (unless you make it ridiculously
obvious). I'm not sure what you mean by their body language. Do you mean
when they were laughing at him and shaking their heads? Because that could
mean anything from "laughing at his joke" to "lmao what is he even talking
about". They didn't look guilty or anything, so...?
Your logic tells me that everything not stated in the track rules is okay.
Well.....my guess is that there is no section on kicking other competitors
in the face, shooting them, molesting them with a pole etc........so, it
must be allowed too, right? Another point......why did the brits shortly
after try to deny the fact that he cheated, by saying that he was
misunderstood, if everything is perfectly okay....strange dont you think,
cause i am sure they read the rules too? Honesty.. come on...
You mean not only are you making ignorant assumptions, you're making
BASELESS ignorant assumptions? The IOC, who decide whether or not people
should be disqualified, have a headquarters in Switzerland and a president
from Belgium. The judges/scorers during every event are from ALL over the
world. None of that has anything to do with the host country, and they have
no reason to be biased. It's very impossible for any Olympics to be
perfect, so you need to look at the facts before bullshitting.
oh well, i don't give a shit upon this loss you know. Also, i'm not saying
that British cycling team isn't good or whatever, this is kid trash talk.
However, what i'd like to point out is that Great Britain has repeatedly
proven during the olympics a strange fair play, and a few teams seem to be
playing with rules as their convenience.Also, yes i'm French, no i don't
hate on British, so please spare me your free hatred and rudeness i just
simply don't give a damn about you and your country.
NO!!!! It's not cheating because he didnt break the rules...there is no
doubt that what he did was not particularly moral, but at the end of the
day HE DID NOT CHEAT! I really think it is you that doesnt understand... I
completely agree with TheLibrarianMarian here...what he did may not have
been morally sound, and the rule itself might be completely unsound and
rather ridiculous, but it stands, and so he didnt cheat! Plus, his team
still THRASHED the world record, no one else came close!
The badminton players were warned during the match to start playing for
real, but ignored that warning and continued to deliberately fail. That is
a blatant disrespect for the rules (that were re-explained to them during
the match), so disqualification makes sense. Meanwhile, if diving in soccer
doesn't mean instant disqualification for the player, there's no reason to
do it to the cyclist. How can people not comprehend that if you didn't
break the rules, you weren't cheating?
Just before this piece of what you refer to as "slang" Hindes said this "I
just did it just to get the restart, because I thought our first start
wasn't the greatest, so I thought get a restart, just to get the uh play
the safe card." It was only then that the expression "fast card" was used.
I would also suggest you look again at the interview we have both quoted
from and watch the baody language of the other two cyclists when Hindes
talks about trying to get a restart.
Why do I have to look into polls that has nth to do with me? I mean why did
you even bring that up in the first place? So what if the polls were
pro-union. Does that HAS to affect the judging process? I was criticizing
the way how the host country was & is dealing with alleged incidents of
cheating. One was exhaustive and the other was overlooked. Well I call that
bull shit. Whether you agree or not is your choice but I will keep being
condescending if it's the latter.
It cannot be cheating. If it was cheating, they would be disqualified. They
decision makers were not GB. Cheating is something like - Bauge - missing
drugs tests. Furthermore, the Chinese were given a medal despite the same
offence the as the GB women. It sucked but it is the rules. Nobody is
crying. The fact of the matter remains. They were legitimately the fastest
by a mile. Do you really want the fastest out over a technicality? The
sport doesnt.
The rule says that if you crash, you can restart. That's it. It does not
say anywhere that if you do it on purpose, you're cheating. ***What he did
was EXPLOIT the existing rule, which is bad, but not cheating.*** "EXPLOIT:
— vb 2. to take advantage of (a person, situation, etc), esp unethically or
unjustly for one's own ends" Make sense? In comparison, there IS a rule in
badminton that says you cannot intentionally lose, so they were cheaters.
You dont want to answer, i take that as a "no, i dont like that fact that
he cheated, but its difficult for me to be objective, so instead i am gonna
try with some irrelevant diversions". Just to let you know, i dont like any
kind of cheating, no matter where it comes from....and i would never brag
about a medal won by way of it! Why not like the other medals (noone tells
you that did not do well, cause you did), and admit that this was shit!?
most kids in germany around the age of 11-15 can speak english to a good
standard, and there is no doubt over what philip said if you watched the
interview live. chris hoy face, when philip admitted it gave it away as
well. Is it not even more embarrassing that somebody competing for GB can't
even speak english properly, according to you. i hope Philip doesn't get
too much flak for this as the management would have instructed him to do so.
In the UCI track rules, subsection 3.2.154 says that you may have a restart
for a "mishap". In subsection 3.2.021 it defines a mishap as a fall, a
puncture or the breakage of an essential part of the bicycle. Since it does
not elaborate on the word "fall" it does not rule out a deliberate fall.
That is why the officials and the other teams have said that there was
nothing wrong. Please don't comment on matters that you know nothing about.
He did not break any rules, so he did not cheat. This is INCREDIBLY
straightforward. What you are doing is going, "I think this guy is an
asshole, so he should be disqualified because I don't like him". Is he an
asshole? Of course. Did he cheat? No, he stayed within the rules.
Therefore, the gold stands. It's kind of funny that you're forced to resort
to insults because you have no idea how to counter my points, though.
it's not the same. the badminton players played horribly from start to
finish, like a big "fuck you" to the fans who paid to watch them. the
british guy was within his sport's rules, he just exploited them and then
still tried his best to win fairly in their new start. if you whine about
his fall, it'd only be fair to also campaign to get rid of soccer as an
Olympic sport for diving and faking injuries all the time.
Cut it out with the "biased" thing. Everyone's opinion is biased. So is
yours. Don't speak like you've got the absolute truth cause it makes you
sound like some know-it-all loser. An cut it out with "they didn't break
the rules" cause it's completely off-topic. By the way, you're canadian, I
guess cheating is something appreciated in Canada, considering how much of
a joke the judges were in the Vancouver Olympics.
There is nothing to say he was not so embarrassed at falling off he didnt
initially pretend he did it on purpose. Many people do. Then he realised it
could get him in shit and now looks like a clown... Well, a clown with a
world record, gold medal, in a straight race the results of which were
never in doubt according to the independent bodies. It is the French crying
about this due GB thrashing them, repeatedly.
except it wasnt cheating...cheating would have been to do something that
wasnt within the rules...he did not do that. That means that had the french
(i think that was who they were racing against but I cant remember) felt
they could have got a better start, they could have done the same thing.
Sorry but not breaking the rules really means you didnt cheat...so who's
the idiot?
Condescending? Hadn't noticed. And actually I brought up the issue of polls
because of your statement "you guys hate each others guts". My point was
that if you think we all hate each others guts you should check the polls
regarding how British people feel towards each other. I wouldn't have
brought it up if you hadn't accused us of hating each other.
