"...why do sportsmen and women have such explosive libidos? I am not implying, for one moment, that every athlete in Beijing is at it. Just that 99 per cent of them are."

More on that first sentence in a moment and please don't think for a second that I am implying the fine GB Olympians in the image are (all) up to such things...[ahem]: a great image though from another source: a good article The Great Haul of China...nice one Matt Slater. Now, regarding the first quote: no doubt some of you expected me to post on another Matt's article (Matthew Syed in The Times) about the fun and games that is the veritable sex fest that takes place after the actual games?...sex Olympics etc?...That said maybe I should post more about it, all those raging sexual hormones; certainly sounds like it could encourage more people to take up sport!

"It is a common sight to see recently knocked-out athletes gorging on Magnums and McDonald's, swilling alcohol and, of course, shagging like crazy. Sometimes all three at the same time."
