The guy that wrote that article hasn't the slightest clue. Kitajima flat out cheated. There isn't even a question about it. And you can easily see the difference it made on his dive and his turn. What's incredible is that Kitahima did not get DQed.
As for the Basketball team, who cares. We sent a bunch of second rates (exluding iverson and duncan) that aren't as good as they think they are. If we had taken the NCAA champion, we would bein much better shape. The guys on the current squad, for the most part, are a bunch of overpaid, pampered, egotistical individuals that have no clue how to play as a team. Frankly, I don't consider them to be representative of the USA. Our best players and teams are sitting at home, no one can argue with that.
