I wonder if there is such a thing as a clean sport.

The unusual deaths of Bob Woolmer and Hanse Cronje made cricket seem quite alien. I watched it all my life from the days when players wore white with just the national emblem. Now they dress like baseball players and the actual playing part seems much less important - which does remind me of American Football.

I don't watch sport anymore except the odd bit of middle distance and cross country running. I'd much rather actually play it - the competitors you meet seem pleasant, kind and often very funny. I guess it's because they are normal rather than Alphas. I do recall fondly Colin Jackson and Jess Ennis-Hill - two lovely people who competed at the top of their respective games, many of our female middle distance runners come across as similarly nice people but they do seem a minority.
