At the risk of being sexist, when did this ever bother a man?

A female athlete I could just about think "Well, yes, you have a point, I won't want to sit on that mingin' loo seat either" but the male of the species tend to stand up and sprinkle everywhere anyway. They can't help themselves. They relieve themselves in woods all the time. A drug test is a drug test- they all know what missing one means.

And why didn't they ask the testers to walk with them to more pleasing loos anyway if they were such sensitive souls?

I think there were some reports of George Michael being present in the Toilets to hold athlete's equipment. 8)
"Lets go outside...."

Never thought about that one!

(thinks-never actually been in a gents toilet either. Possibly they are always spotlessly clean, with posies of flowers by the washbasins and no graffiti.)

I have many male friends people who absolutely refuse to use a public toilet for anything other than a quick pee, i know one guy who took a £40 taxi trip home and back so he could use his own facilities during a night out

the same could be said of the testers, why didn't they ask the athletes to do this ?

Tusher

Agreed.

If the loos were so ghastly, then you would think that there would be some airbourne hygiene/contamination issue with transferring the urine from the jug/pot/bottle into the universal containers for the labs. And the testers wouldn't want their briefcase/rucksack resting on the presumably filthy floor.

No disrepect to anyone from Newham (as my username confirms I'm a West Ham supporter), but these guys are from Newham. I'd imagine most public loos or loos at a training centre in Loughborough are cleaner than most in Newham - and probably cleaner than some people loos at home!

Really ? I know some public toilets are pretty manky but ffs what do they think is likely to happen to them. If I knew someone that paid for a taxi for that it'd cost them £40 and 40 years of having the p-i-s-s ripped out of them for doing it.

My thoughts exactly.
Probably a Banker?

Why did the article mention Capes? What does he have to do with it? He was there, that's a great fact but not important. Feck me these papers cannot write an article.

If the guy told the girl NOT to take the test then he would have been charged.

Obviously these chix are super stoopid. They deserve the bans they get. Simple as.

He's their coach. That's pertinent, surely.

Chix? :roll:

Never been to the loos in the training facilities, but if they were asked to use the loos in the Students Union it would be understandable

Maybe someone had left the toilet seat up and wound up those ladees ?

They are both guys though, right?

Yes, Kelly is the surname of a man with the first name Kieren. The other one is called Jamie.
