Well, according to this mornings radio he is going to be giving motivational advice to the Scotland football squad.

Didn't realise gold medals brought miracles with them too....

There may be a few more surprises here though. (For other sports too)

They wont ban, or vote out, cycling.

It's just another German shooting his mouth off about the sport.

Some of the attitude of the Germans regarding anti-doping should be applauded, but some of them have a tendency to go way over the top.

Well they've just announced that they'll be testing all the blood samples from the last Olympics for CERA. So when they find a load of cheaters across other disciplines they'll have to ban every sport from the next Olympics and then we won't have to put up with any more of this 2012 nonsense!!

And won't that make me a happy person. And Smokin-Joe too...
