Angry FAO - Cheating German Olympic Equestrian Team

Don't winge when you break the rules FFS! You should have those medals taken back off you - why should you be exempt from rules in an Olympic Competion that are in force everywhere in the world and at every level.

Disgraceful.

Thumbs down Equestrian not a sport

It's a toff's event for people called Pippa and Farquar.

Should never be part of Olympics. Jesus we might as well have sheepdog trials and Range Rover racing.

I mean how is some kid out of Comptom, Brixton or Nairobi going to have a crack at a medal in that?

Remember there are shooting events in the Olympics.
But I don't think 'drive by' and 'gat posing' counts

If I recall my history correctly, the Germans are f*cking brilliant at wars, it's picking sane leaders they're crap at

Finding out they'd been penalised was better than watching Pinsent win again!

Oh, how I laughed...
