Never gonna happen 'cause there'd still be the ***kwits that would try and cheat the honest atheletes and the whole moral thing about it but still... perfect world and all that

side note: I thought the ancient olympics were cancelled due to the christians deeming them paganistic and unchristianlike, not due to corruption and cheating. Could be wrong though, I'm no history buff [img]smile.gif[/img]
By then, the "olympic games" were Roman Gladatorial contests between slaves, not the Hellenic Olympic Games.
