have ten days in the U.S., including New York, Los Angeles and Hawaii and I have not seen any advertisements, TV, posters etc. relating to the Olympic Games in Beijing. Here, overlooking the baseball always. The tension pre-Olympic mount that is made for months by the media in Italy, not here. All other matters seem bustling. The interest is all about Obama and his challenger.
Soon I will be in Tokyo, I just want to see if the Japanese approach is different. I wonder if our athletes to Beijing Olympic Games will have to deal with any new pharmaceutical product put on the track specifically for the games. I wonder if the Chinese government to make a good impression in the eyes of the world has forced coaches to pump athletes.
In any case it will be a competition on equal terms. There will be only less fortunate athletes who will be pinched. Very few exceptions!
