By the time the Olympics quit I was thoroughly tired of both of them. I do not think, however, that Tanya should have been barred from the proceedings. I believe in the principle that citizens should be treated as innocent until proven guilty (even when they ARE guilty).

Besides, it worked out OK. Tanya had her chance to live up to her boasts and everyone got some much-needed closure. If Tanya hadn't competed we would be left with nagging doubts about what might have happened. Now that it's over it's hard to understand what all the fuss was about.

Has anyone heard that great Loudon Wainwright song that came out about these two shortly after the Olympics? I heard part of it on the radio and would love to obtain a recording.
