Following an incident which caused a British crew to pull up shortly after the start of their rowing race because of a mechanical malfunction, Sir Steve Redgrave said - on live TV - "If it's not actually broken, make sure it IS."

Incredibly - or, so it seems to me - Britain's (alledgedly) greatest Olympian was suggesting that something which bordered on cheating was acceptable. It grieves me to say this, but IMHO, that was not in the true spirit of the games; and, on that basis, I feel that the fact that the the Brits were beaten into second place might be an example of poetic justice. Furthermore, reports that a member of the British cycling team is said to have admitted employing similar methods to engineer a re-start after a poor start in the Velodrome is disturbing.
